Cleveland, OH (January 30, 2015) –Weber Wood Medinger/CORFAC International (WWM) announced that Gerald B. (Jerry) Medinger, one of the founding principals of the firm, was recently inducted into the Midwest Hall of Fame by Midwest Real Estate News for the many accomplishments he has achieved in his career.
In 1968, Jerry Medinger, Alan Wood and Bill Weber started Weber Wood Medinger in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights as a real estate development company and industrial brokerage firm. For two decades, the company built over 700,000 square feet of suburban offices in eastern and southern communities near Cleveland, and also entitled and developed a 40-acre parcel in Beachwood that now has office buildings, hotels, and other commercial businesses.
The relationships that the partners developed over the years enabled the firm to evolve into and become one of the nation’s early providers of what is commonly called “Corporate Services” today. By the mid-1990s and by then headquartered in Beachwood, Weber Wood Medinger exclusively focused on brokerage services with an emphasis on tenant representation. As such, over the past 20 years Jerry’s firm has participated in more than $1.4 billion in real estate transactions and corporate real estate deals in more than 500 North American markets.
Preceding his partnership at WWM, Jerry developed his real estate and sales skills at Osborn Manufacturing Company, 3M Company, and Jordan, Newell & Company. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Denison University. Jerry has been a member of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) since 1982.
