Check out this bird’s-eye view of the current work at one of our ODOT rest area projects in Summit County!

Outside, cement sidewalks and dog-walking areas are being completed across the sites. Inside, tile and electrical installation are underway, and the buildings are now connected to main power.

Coming up early this month, wall murals are scheduled for installation, followed by partitions and additional interior finishes.

Thank you to MidTown Cleveland, Inc. for helping us stay “physically fit” while enjoying some team building and networking at the Annual Mid-Town Kickball Tournament last week!

We felt inspired by The Party Animals, and brought a few of their moves to our pregame warmup.

Congratulations to Cresco Real Estate on their hard-fought first-place finish. We’ll be back (and better) next year!

This Monday, Depot on Detroit welcomed the City of Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb and community partners for a site tour and a press conference focused on the work being done to expand access to affordable housing throughout Cleveland.

During his remarks, Mayor Bibb emphasized that addressing housing affordability requires collaboration across government. Through its partnership with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), the Cleveland Housing Investment Fund has raised $53 million and supported the development of 216 affordable housing units across the city within the past year.

Two JGJ projects account for 112 of those homes: Depot on Detroit, a 60-unit affordable development serving Cleveland’s Edgewater and Cudell neighborhoods, and Walton Apartments, a 52-unit senior housing community in Clark-Fulton.

We’re honored to contribute to this citywide effort alongside the public agencies, community organizations, developers, and project partners working to create quality, accessible housing for Cleveland residents.

Thank you to Mayor Justin M. Bibb and City of Cleveland - City Hall, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), Flaherty & Collins Properties, City Architecture, Northwest Neighborhoods CDC, and the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority for their support and work on these projects, and many thanks to those who joined us at Depot on Detroit to recognize the impact of this important investment.

We’re excited to attend the 2026 Leading Age Ohio Annual Conference and Trade Show tomorrow, August 26!

Stop by Booth 27 to meet the JGJ team and learn more about our work in senior living construction. We look forward to connecting with leaders, providers, and partners from across Ohio’s aging services community and discussing how thoughtful construction can help create safe, welcoming environments for older adults.

We hope to see you there!

At Divinity Landing, the JGJ team recently assembled, placed, and filled four garden beds with vegetables and herbs as a gift to the future residents of this senior housing community.

Developed by National Church Residences, Divinity Landing is a new senior living complex being constructed in Macedonia, Ohio. The addition of these garden beds will provide residents with an accessible way to grow their own food right outside their homes.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on a project that is creating new senior housing, and we’re proud to support the future residents with a space to connect, cultivate, and take root in their new homes.

Recent construction updates from inside the building: appliances and the elevator have been installed, while painting, trim, and hardware work remain ongoing. Outside, the remaining pavement is currently in progress. We’re in the final stretch of this project, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future of this building.

PROJECT UPDATE: It’s been a busy stretch at Warner & Swasey since our groundbreaking in early June.

Recently the project has been reaching some significant milestones, including the demolition of the silo and Building 6, as work continues to prepare the historic MidTown Cleveland property for its next chapter as an affordable living complex.

On the exterior, the north side of the building has been power washed to remove exterior graffiti, restoration work is continuing along the northeast and south sides. Utility work has also made notable progress, with the west area water and sewer tap connections completed, inspected, and approved.

Inside the building, demolition is ongoing on existing stairwells and concrete floor repairs are underway on the fourth floor while beam repairs continue on the third floor. Masonry work is also moving forward at Stair No. 1, and exposed steel beams on the first floor have been prepped and primed.

Looking ahead, first-floor electrical rough-ins are scheduled for September, and exterior restoration work is continuing on the south side of the building.

This summer, JGJ had the pleasure of welcoming 7 interns to our team, including 5 project engineer interns, 1 safety intern, and 1 marketing intern from schools across the region.

From jobsite visits and project meetings to new connections and experiences, each intern brought curiosity and a fresh perspective to our team.

We’re grateful for the time they spent with us this summer and wish them all the best as they head into their next chapter. Follow us for updates on where we’ll be this fall during career fair season — this could be you next year.
