“That’s actually what were were looking for,” said GenomOncology CEO Brad Wertz talking about the company’s new space.

He says GenomOncology was looking for a place where they could build a modern, start-up type office space.

From the street, First Energy Stadium is to the north, with the Flats, Warehouse District, and Public Square a short walk away in other directions.

“You start with a cool, comfortable, enjoyable place to work that we believe is highly productive, highly collaborative and you build out from there based on what you’re in the mood for,” said Wertz.

Wertz says the space is home base for Cleveland-based employees, a place to visit for the few employees who work remote, and allows the company to host clients in from out of town, after the coronavirus passes.
