		<description><![CDATA[By Patricia Wren Cleveland.com A 28-year-old attorney, Jack Bacevice, moved to WT Grant Lofts because of its unique architectural details and great amenities. His two-bedroom apartment features “20-foot-high ceilings, red brick around the fireplace, and exposed brick walls that have been painted.” He especially appreciates having an in-suite washer and dryer and an icemaker in his refrigerator. He had lived in downtown Cleveland while he was in college. He liked the urban lifestyle so much that he moved back downtown in November of 2011. WT Grant Lofts is located in a historic building at the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 2nd Street. The building is just minutes from East 4th Street, Progressive Field, and Quicken Loans Arena. It’s a quick cab ride to Ohio City, Tremont, and Detroit-Shoreway. It has a Walk Score of 94 and a Transit Score of 87. “There’s an excitement about living downtown now,” he said. “I feel as if I’m in the center of everything.” He mentioned the opening of Horseshoe Casino Cleveland last year and Cleveland Medical Mart &#038; Convention Center, slated to open this October. “I love living downtown; I can walk everywhere.” A civil litigator with the city of Cleveland, he walks to work, the courthouses, and sometimes to his apartment for lunch. Although he likes to support local chefs and enjoys going to many of downtown Cleveland’s eateries, Fahrenheit in Tremont is one of the restaurants that he frequents the most. “They serve bacon at the bar.” He also applauded Dante in Tremont, citing an experience when he and his three siblings took their parents there for a family celebration. In addition to serving exquisite food, the restaurant owner/chef, Dante Boccuzzi, walked among the tables and talked with the customers. And, he later sent a handwritten note to Bacevice thanking him for his business! He occasionally cooks at home and likes shopping at Constantino’s Market. He enjoys entertaining and invited his father and brother to watch this season’s Cleveland Indians opening game against the Toronto Blue Jays. An avid sports enthusiast, Bacevice calls himself “a die-hard fan of the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Indians, and Ohio State University.” He grew up in Lyndhurst and went to St. Ignatius High School, where he played football. He also played football at John Carroll University until an injury stopped him from playing. Graduating from Cleveland Marshall Law School, he has practiced law for two years. “I find my job to be very fulfilling. It’s very people-oriented.” Because his father is also an attorney, Bacevice said he understood what practicing law would be like. “I knew it was what I wanted to do.” Located at 248 Euclid Avenue, WT Grant Lofts offers 73 studio, one-, and two-bedroom units. Coral Management Company LLC manages the apartment building. © cleveland.com. All rights reserved.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Michelle Mitchell The Republic &#124; azcentral.com Chandler’s Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort has a new owner and soon will have a new look. Interwest Capital, which purchased the historical property on Jan.28, plans a top-to-bottom renovation, including revamping guest rooms and meeting spaces and improving the golf course and grounds, said Karl Coleman, president of Interwest Capital. “Our goal is to have that finished this year so we can celebrate the centennial of the hotel,” Coleman said. The remodeling will not detract from the historic designation of the hotel, he said. “You don’t want to try to make it something that it’s not,” Coleman said. The hotel, which will remain a Crowne Plaza, will not close during renovation and all existing reservations will be honored, said Ashleigh Mason, director of development with GF Management. An affiliate of GF Management, Craz Associates LLC, is managing the resort. There will be no layoffs and the hotel is hiring at least seven positions, said Dina Lomango, regional vice president of sales and marketing at GF Management. Bob Van Bergen, who served as general manager on an interim basis, was replaced by Jeff Hammermeister after the sale. The San Marcos, which opened in 1913, has 250 rooms and 35,000 square feet of meeting space.  President Herbert Hoover, dancer-actor Fred Astaire and other celebrities have stayed there. “There’s a lot of sentiment around this hotel,” said Teri Killgore, Chandler&#8217;s downtown redevelopment manager. “You talk to folks whose families have been here awhile, everybody’s had a wedding or a prom or a special, meaningful event there. “Getting that out of limbo is huge.” The future of the hotel, at Arizona Avenue and Chandler Boulevard, has been uncertain since October 2010, when it was taken over by a court-appointed receiver when San Marcos Capital Partners defaulted on a $23.9 million loan. San Marcos Capital filed for bankruptcy in March 2011. This $11 million sale to Interwest Capital is about 67 percent of what Guaranty Bank and Trust Company paid in November 2011 to foreclose the property in a trustee sale. The Interwest deal comes more than two years after the resort was taken over by the receiver, although those connected to the property had said publicly that interested buyers were moving forward on the property. “We went through numerous rounds where we thought that it was going to close up until the day that it didn’t,” Killgore said. Most recently, Kansas’ Ottawa University reportedly was interested in purchasing the property for a residential campus, although the hotel management company in January said the property would remain a hotel. “We were happy to have Ottawa, but we’re obviously excited to have it be a hotel,” Killgore said. Now that brides or executives considering the hotel for events or meetings do not have to worry about its future, hopefully bookings will improve, Killgore said. Chandler receives tax revenue from hotels, which represents about 1percent of the city’s budgeted revenue for this fiscal year. Interwest is not a newcomer to the area or to the San Marcos, Coleman said. The company had a contract to purchase the debt on the property, but the bankruptcy filing ended that agreement, Coleman said. “We think it has a ton of potential, just never quite had the ownership behind it,” Coleman said. Because of its previous interest in the property, Interwest was connected to accusations made against former San Marcos co-owner and general manager Frank Heavlin. Heavlin was accused by a law firm investigating him of pursuing a job with Interwest on company time while he still worked for San Marcos. Heavlin was fired in 2011 by the court-appointed receiver of San Marcos, Kirby Payne. “At some point, he basically said, ‘If you do end up owning the property, here’s my resume,’” Coleman said, adding that he has not communicated with Heavlin since he left San Marcos. Heavlin, who could not be reached for comment, is not now involved with Interwest or San Marcos, Coleman said. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Amy Wolff Sorter GlobeSt.com CHANDLER, AZ-Business Real Estate Weekly of Arizona reports that Interwest Capital Corp., operating under the name San Marcos Hotel LLC, has paid $11 million to buy the 249-room Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort.  The La Jolla, CA investor bought the 100-year-old hotel from CP San Marcos LLC, an entity created by Guaranty Bank and Trust Co. in Denver. The article notes that the buyer had help in buying the asset at 1 W. San Marcos Dr. with a $14 million loan from the seller. Though the resort is still running normally, 46 casitas have not been operational. Interwest plans significant upgrades to the property and hired GF Management of Philadelphia to manage the property. The San Marcos went into receivership in late 2010. Guaranty Bank foreclosed on the asset in December 2011 at a trustee&#8217;s sale, during which the bank bid $16.5 million for the property.  San Marcos Capital Partners LP in Denver was the previous owner and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2011 to try and stave off the foreclosure.]]></description>
