Good morning, Portage County. Urban living is getting a fresh breath of life in Northeast Ohio as Marks Building Co. brings new townhome developments to Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood. While for-sale townhomes haven't fully bounced back from pandemic challenges, the rental market is thriving, with five new units under construction on Brevier Avenue and more planned across the street—part of the company's growing portfolio of 14 properties drawn to Cleveland's distinctive architecture and expanding job opportunities.
In local headlines, a drug deal gone wrong has resulted in a 9-12 year sentence for Frank Vetrano after a stabbing incident in Ravenna left a man hospitalized for two weeks. On a more appetizing note, food enthusiasts are celebrating as Kintaro finally opens its sixth location in Woodmere's Village Square, bringing its popular unlimited sushi and hot pot experience to the former Corky & Lenny's space with special grand opening discounts running through November 20.

🏠 Cleveland's townhouse market springs back to life with new builder. Marks Building Co., led by Casey Marks, is capitalizing on renewed interest in urban housing with multiple townhome projects in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood. Their largest project currently under construction includes five rental townhomes on Brevier Avenue, with a second phase planned across the street.

The company has built or is building 14 properties in Cleveland, drawn by the city's unique architecture and growing job market.
🔪 Drug deal turns violent as man gets 9 years for stabbing. Frank Vetrano, 38, was sentenced to 9-12 years in prison after stabbing a 33-year-old man during an alleged drug deal in Ravenna. The victim, who was hospitalized for two weeks, claimed Vetrano attacked him while trying to purchase drugs and a gun. Despite conflicting accounts about what happened, Vetrano pleaded guilty to assault with a firearm specification and having weapons under disability. Court records show Vetrano has an extensive criminal history dating back to 2008.
