Ruh joins Al Neyer, Inc. as VP of real estate development

Al Neyer, Inc. has hired Daniel P. Ruh as Vice President of Real Estate Development.

Ruh will be charged with starting new commercial development and increasing market share for the 115-year-old commercial real estate and design-build firm.

To build the business in a down economy, Ruh's new position will require hard work and creative thinking.

"The first half of 2009 will be an especially challenging one in which to complete any development deals," says Ruh.  "Good deals – the ones that advance a client's mission and generate long-term value – can still get financed.  Everyone has to think more creatively and work in partnership to make them happen."

Al Neyer's development clients include companies that need more space or strategic location, municipalities that require redevelopment and master planning, and universities and public institutions.

The firm's current development projects include:

• The Offices at 444 West Third Street, which will serve as U.S. headquarters for dunnhumbyUSA
• Linden Pointe on the Lateral, a $105 million professional office campus in Norwood
• Columbia Square, a $25 million mixed-use office and retail development in Columbia Tusculum
• A 6-story medical office building and 6-level parking garage for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Avondale
• The Herald Building, a 3-story, mixed-use LEED-Silver certified registered building in Avondale
• East Pointe Building 200, a LEED-Silver Certified registered office building in Middletown

Prior to joining Al Neyer, Inc., Ruh achieved the position of senior vice president of Duke Realty's Cincinnati operations, where he participated in such developments as The Landings of Blue Ash, Mercy Health Partners' corporate headquarters, Deerfield Crossing, and Centre Pointe.

Most recently, he was principal and chief operating officer of Bear Creek Capital.
