West River Place is located at 265 West Main Street in Kent, Ohio.  The building is a converted historic structure in downtown Kent located on the Riveredge Park. The building was built in 1925 on the site of an old quarry next to the Cuyahoga River.  The Bissler family built the building to house their growning furniture sales business and a funeral parlor.  The building has undergone a number of transformations since then, but has remained a commanding structure.  The renovation of the three story structure will preserve the historic elements of the exterior and some elements of the interior of the building while .completely replacing all the utilities

and working elements of the building.  When completed, the building will be transformed with state of the art office space housed in a stately and beautiful structure.  Elevator,stairways, bathrooms and lobbies have all been located to allow the highest possible exposure of offices to the views of the park, Cuyahoga River and downtown Kent.

The first floor or Main Street Level has been completely leased out.  The second floor has approximately 3,300 square feet left to lease or buy.  Tenants have the luxury of having their offices designed to their specifications.  The river level has about 4,500 square feet if taken by a single tenant.  An alternate development plan is to build six smaller offices down there with each tenant having access to a common kitchen/break room and a conference room.  Tenants on the river level will enjoy immediate access to the walkways of the Riveredge Park.
