The City of Cleveland welcomed a group of Chinese investors and dignitaries Wednesday, Aug. 16, at a ceremony to recognize residential and commercial developments that will shape the city's future for generations.

China's Dalian Yihai Enterprise Group, which owns McKinley Development, has already invested $10 million to create a 600-acre residential community called Grand Oaks Reserve, located at the east end of the SH 105 Bypass by Cleveland Middle School, and a 122-acre industrial park west of Cleveland on SH 105. The company projects to spend more than $100 million more before the developments are complete.

Yuhai Zhao, chairman of the Yihai Group, through a translator, told the 100 or so people gathered for the ceremony at Cleveland City Hall that he knows Cleveland is the right location for this investment.

"I am confident that Grand Oaks Reserve and Cleveland West Industrial Park are the right choice of development in the city," he said. "I am sincerely grateful that we have chosen the right people to work with – and this is all of you, my friends. Thank you for your support. Precision and practicality are our guides, and love and commitment is our foundation."
