Growth in Auburn continues, and the expansion of Straehle + Hess USA, Inc.’s Auburn facility is another exciting example of the development happening in our community.

As a manufacturer of technical textiles for automotive interiors used by major global car brands, this expansion will help support more efficient logistics and prepare the company for new business coming later this year.

Projects like this reflect the continued strength, opportunity, and economic momentum of the Auburn area, all of which play an important role in making our community a great place to live, work, and invest.

In markets where rent is steadily rising, locking in renewal terms early can be a big long-term advantage.

Homes. Land. Commercial. Leasing.

Different sides of real estate, but I genuinely love it all! Some days are floor plans, school zones, and the strategy behind getting a home listed. Some days it's traffic counts, zoning, lease terms, or highest-and-best use.

And honestly that's what keeps me inspired, the variety and all the different layers.
