Sun Title is expanding. With eight new hires in the last six months and and an expanded and renovated headquarters at 1410 Plainfield Ave NE, the title agency is well prepared for 2013 and beyond.
According toTom Cronkright, co-founder, the expansion has been driven by business growth. He says that including the recent hires, his team now had 32 people on board. With 10 more jobs anticipated in 2013, space was getting tight. "We needed more space from a practical standpoint. A place to have staff meetings and afterhours events. All connected, our offices now occupy about 10,000 sqare feet."
Cronkright says the renovation also resulted in the creation of a 1500 square foot conference center that will be used for a variety of purposes, including being available for community meetings.
The work done on Sun Title's first office on Plainfield won the Neighborhood Business Award for the 2012 Best Reuse of a Building. Their current expansion is following a similar blueprint by restoring the facade to its original brick and window openings and following the same philosophy on its interior.
Cronkright is cautiously optimistic regarding the real estate market. "It is not going down, but there is not a big uptick in values," he says. "The challenges are lack of inventory. There is a slight shortage in $125,000- $200,000 range. If you have a good clean house in that range, it will sell quickly."
