Small Towns. Big Ideas.

CLRED is a real estate developer focused on seeking out the most impactful opportunities in towns across the Midwest for the betterment of the community and the lives of the people that live there. We call this "Small Towns. Big Ideas." 

We combine bold new design and innovation with the lifestyle needs of the town around it. We take the big old beautiful building that has been sitting vacant for years and breathe new life into it, incorporating historical themes and elements that are significant to the community culture of the town.

These are the changes that inspire others to open the shop they've been dreaming of for years or to finally invest in the upgrades they have been saving up for all this time. We're in the business of investing in dreams and making them a reality.

We strive to be the catalyst that helps communities across the Midwest boost their local economies and get to work making their dreams a reality not only for themselves but for their families. Whether it’s creating new downtown residences, establishing a local craft brewery or restaurant, or restoring a landmark hotel, we aim to help small towns across the Midwest become stronger than ever and contribute to creating new jobs and a quality of life, encouraging more people to stay, build their careers, and raise their families.
