Notre Dame Centenarian Village is the flagship execution of K7's repeatable four-stage institutional-redevelopment model. The project transforms a shuttered 50-acre college campus in Greater Cleveland into the region's first 5-minute walkable Smart Urban Village — intergenerational, mixed-use, and anchored by a long-duration academic tenancy.

• Stage 1 — Deep-discount acquisition. The 50-acre site and its 300,000 SF of institutional buildings are acquired at a significant discount to replacement cost. Closed-campus real estate of this type typically trades in the 30–50 cent range on the prior institutional dollar.
• Stage 2 — Incentive stacking. Over $100M in Historic Tax Credits, Tax Increment Financing, Opportunity Zone benefits, and Low-Carbon Incentive Programs is available over the next 24 months — representing 20–25% of total project capital. The base-case pro-forma only absorbs $25.5M of that stack, leaving material upside unmodeled.
• Stage 3 — Anchor tenant reactivation. A 165-year-old partnering college has committed a 15-year lease (extendable to 30 years) to establish its Satellite Health Sciences Campus on site, launching Physician Assistant and Nursing programs.
• Stage 4 — Mixed-use intergenerational build-out. Housing (workforce, senior, student, BTR, multifamily), a historic hotel, retail, a health center, sports/aquatics facilities, a 15 MW hydrogen plant, and a 200-rack AI cloud data center are layered around the academic anchor.

The model's strength is sequencing. Phase 1 (lowest-cost dorm-to-workforce housing conversion) generates bridge cash-flow while the heavier adaptive-reuse phases (2–4) are under construction. Phase 8 (an existing sports complex) is leased on Day 1. Phases 9 and 10 — the hydrogen plant and data center — sit later in the schedule and, in Phase 10's case, are capitalised in a separate tranche, further de-risking the core redevelopment portfolio.

The cornerstone of the Notre Dame thesis is the reactivation of the academic mission. A 165-year-old partnering institution has committed to establish its Satellite Health Sciences Campus at the redeveloped site, launching Physician Assistant and Nursing programs.

• Lease term: 15 years, with options to extend to 30 years.
• Capital allocation: $2.5M (approximately 5% of the $50M Cleveland regional raise line) — covering facility renovation, simulation labs, faculty onboarding, and accreditation milestones.
• Medical / nursing school lease LOI: an additional $1M/year lease commitment is in place.
• De-risking effect: institutional credit tenancy, long-duration income stream, and a continuous population flow of students, faculty, and clinical trainees — which in turn anchors housing, hospitality, retail, and health-center demand across the project.
