What the press is saying about Cranewoods Development and founder Andrew Howe:
“Real estate risks that send some developers running – those mired in financial woes or are in need of considerable modifications – are exactly what drive Andy Howe. A Wyoming native, Howe is head of Cranewoods Development LLC in Jacksonville, Fla. There, he spends most of his time working as a consultant to developers and lenders trying to reach deals for projects impacted by the real estate boom and bust. “We help stalled projects get restarted,” he says. And that’s exactly what brought Howe back to Cincinnati.” - The Cincinnati Enquirer 2011
” ‘Fixer’ Andrew Howe pushes to revive stalled Schoolhouse Lofts project. After 18 months in limbo, the Schoolhouse Lofts project in East Walnut Hills got a new lease on life in May, when developer Andrew Howe cut a deal with lenders and lien holders on the stalled project” - The Business Courier 2011
“A Cincinnati-born developer who relocated to the booming Florida market in the 1990s has now returned to restart a stalled downtown condo project [The McFarland Lofts].” – The Business Courier 2010
“When a local bank brought Howe aboard as a consultant on a stalled condo project in Jacksonville last year, “a light- bulb went on,” he says. Cranewoods took over the project, resurrected construction and brought the eight-story condo project to completion. ……………… Howe parlayed the experience into a full-time venture, offering hourly consulting to lenders with stalled projects on their hands, and has since taken over and completed more stalled high-rise condos, four in Jacksonville and one in downtown Cincinnati.” – Engineering News Record Magazine 2010
