Perrysburg, Ohio –07/15/2022 – Logan Creek and their sister company NAI Harmon Group, an office of NAI Global, a leading global commercial real estate brokerage firm, are in the process of completing the construction of the Harmon Building at Levis Commons. This new building will be on the prime corner of the Entertainment District.
In 2016 NAI Harmon Group purchased the 67,000 SF Orleans Building, the cornerstone property of Levis Commons Entertainment District, out of bankruptcy. Immediately after the purchase, the redevelopment project started by NAI Harmon investing $2 million in building improvements. The property went from seven years of bankruptcy and 40% occupancy to being in perfect standing and 100% occupancy within two years.
“We are very excited to announce this new addition to the Levis Commons entertainment district,” said Mr. Harmon. “This group of restaurants and businesses will only further establish Levis Commons as the premier destination in Perrysburg, Ohio.”
The 80,000 SF development, named the Harmon Building at Levis Commons, will be adjacent to the Orleans Building and is currently underway. This finishes the Original Master Plan for that segment of Levis Commons. The projected investment in the new development is $16,000,000.
Currently, in the Construction Phase, this building will be comprised of mixed-use space containing restaurants and retail on the first floor and office space on the second floor. Given the continued success of their first restaurant, Benchmark, the NAI Harmon Group will be opening Claude’s Prime Seafood in the new building. The new restaurant is slated to open in the second half of 2022. In addition, HangOver Easy and an undisclosed retail tenant will also be occupying the first floor. Anyone interested in the second-floor space can contact NAI Harmon Group.

Choosing the right commercial contractor can be a difficult task. There are so many options out there that it can often be difficult to determine who you can really trust. If you are about to make a sizable investment in your company then you are going to want to find a contractor with a dependable track record. Most contractors are qualified on paper, but there is a difference between the knowledge earned from taking a test and the knowledge gathered from years of experience.
When a commercial contractor agrees to do large project they take on full responsibility for all facets of the operation. In order to complete it he/she assigns several sub-contractors to see to other elements of the project. This division is done according to each contractor’s area of expertise. The construction industry has branches and hierarchies. For example, general contractors work on roads, buildings, bridges and so on. Contractors who work within a certain specialty are not necessarily qualified to work within others. A contractor who specializes in building roads would not be the right person to hire to design an office complex. Commercial contractors must pay close attention to these divisions when assigning labor for a given job.
Many people think that commercial mean malls or high-rise apartments but the jobs these contractors undertake can be very modest too. Size doesn’t really matter when a commercial outlet is being planned and built. Commercial contractors are brought on early in the process partially because they knows the city building codes and can wade through the bureaucracy to attain the proper permits. The mountain of permits and regulations that have to be addressed often require contractors to take on a large support staff.
Tasks are assigned by the head contractor based on the work experience of the subcontractors. For this reason, getting your job done through a commercial contractor can save you a lot of money and time. They can delegate the work effectively and efficiently, saving you money and time in the process.
