We Are E.V. Bishoff Company
Founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1966 as a commercial real estate development company,
the E.V. Bishoff Company (EVBCO) is a firmly established leader in redevelopment of historic central
business district office buildings in Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh. The family-owned company
known for stellar, responsive service to its tenants boasts a nearly 100 percent retention rate of all of its
properties.
Servicing the needs of our Corporate neighbors has always been a core element in
defining who we are. Our ability to both think and work outside of the box gives us a distinct
advantage in servicing the evolving needs of our Corporate neighbors. Since we are not
third party brokers looking for a listing or commission, our goals are in perfect coordination
with the goals of our Corporate neighbors.
E.V.Bishoff Co is an Owner-Operator of its Portfolio which makes all the difference in the
world to the Corporate neighbors that we serve and translates into a more creative level of
problem solving, quicker response times and a level of integrity that is reflective of the client
relationship that exists between this company and our Corporate neighbors as opposed to a
landlord /tenant relationship that is typical in our industry. To learn more about the company,

DATA CENTER
E.V. Bishoff Company is Pioneering the Micro Data Center Concept
as well as Enterprise Data Centers
Old School Caged Space:
OLD SCHOOL VS. NEUTRAL MICRO DATA CENTERS
Currently, this is nothing more than a “Gotcha Game” where you lease square footage out in someone else’s data
center. Under this program, YOU have an obligation to use THEIR network, pay THEM for cross connects, utilize THEIR
managed services and sometimes even pay THEM to come and go from YOUR data center. The costs add up and you
have NO control.
Neutral Micro Data Centers:
Commonly referred to as “Caged Space”, the old school way of delivering this space has now been turned on its head
through The E.V. Bishoff Company’s development of the Neutral Micro Data Center to address the need of the small
to mid-size data center user while weaving complete neutrality and control back to where it belongs which is the
Data Center Operator.
A Neutral Micro Data Center is an altogether better environment that puts you in control and includes:
• Control stays with you. You decide what network you tie into. You decide who assists with your managed service
needs. You decide everything.
• You have space, not just a rack. Expansion is simple.
• You are in a community of Data Center Operators.
• Sizes start at 100 s.f and can be customized up to an entire floor of 4,500 s.f.
• Neutral Micro Data Centers can be delineated through the use of either caged environment or a combination of cage and drywall.
• Card key access to the building, and to the elevator and to the floor along are included.
• We handle all space conditioning.
• We bring power to the Micro Data Center.
• You maintain access to all network carriers and you tie into who you want, when you want.

one of our recommended Partners or you can bring in your own contractor. It’s all up to you. It’s all part of locating

Legal War Rooms
Many of our Corporate Neighbors within the legal industry enjoy our ability to provide them a
war room, especially when they have a need for space and can spread out and house files that
will not be interrupted.
For those in the legal industry, having a war room equipped with desks, internet, telephones
and white boards, as well as being secured and off-site can be an enormous advantage.
File Rooms
Off site file storage is both expensive and inconvenient. Often times service providers charge
by the box and for each time the box is touched. A more efficient way to handle corporate
file storage is to simply lease a file room from E.V. Bishoff Co.
Our file room space is secured, monitored, accesible, 24/7/365 and under your control for
a fraction of the cost of your current file storage service provider.

CASE
STUDIES
Case Studies
Client:
A large health care provider in Pittsburgh
Need:
A large lawsuit was filed against the Client requiring the need for approximately 7500 sq. ft. of dedicated
space for litigation preparation in the studying of evidence. For confidentiality reasons, the preference
was not to have the space in the Corporate HQ.
Solution:
E.V. Bishoff Company not only provided the space, but provided the appropriate anonymity,
security and locking mechanisms on the space that made it compliant with Client Corporate
standards of safety and security.
Term:
Though it was thought to be a short term need, the need existed for approx. seven (7) years.
Throughout the years it was recognized that given the nature of the litigation, it was important
that the client had the ability to terminate at any time, which the client needed and was provided.
Client:
National Banking Institution
Need:
It was identified that a number of Corporate functions were not only, not required to be in the
expensive Headquarters space, but it was identified that there was a strong preference that some
of the Corporate needs were located outside of the Corporate Headquarters. Functions such
as: Employee Dispute Counseling, office space for outside contractors, and federal regulators to
name a few.
Solution:
E.V. Bishoff Company provided nearly 30,000 sq. ft. of office space, along with the ability to stage
and restage the space, virtually at any time to satisfy the ever-changing needs of the Bank.
Term
Eight (8) years.

Client:
National Insurance Company
Need:
Management issued a contract with an outside consulting firm that required the insurance
company to provide 11,000 sq. ft. of office space during the term of the consulting
agreement. This obligation came as a surprise to the Facilities Department who wasn’t
aware of this requirement and didn’t have the needed space. A call was made to E.V.
Bishoff Company on a Wednesday and the management consulting firm moved in 48 hours
later.
Term:
Two (2) years.
Client:
A region utility company.
Need:
The utility company chose to enter into the business of providing dark fiber. In doing so, a data
center was needed that not only contained the highest level of security, but also the needed
infrastructure and redundancy to support ongoing operations.
Solution:
As opposed to spending their own capital, the utility company turned to E.V. Bishoff Company,
who housed their entire data center operation in one of our data centers at a fraction of the
cost of developing their own data center.
Term:
15 Years, ongoing

Solution:

provides all office requirements including furniture, telephones, bandwidth and access
to all necessary equipment, conference rooms and use of kitchens. As success became
apparent, the needs increased and we were able to provide the additional space required
at the time the requirement became understood.
Term:

Client:
International Computer Company
Need:
An international computer company was in immediate need of supplying parking to over
225 employees in the downtown Cleveland area. Their need was to have electronic card key
activated parking within a small walk to their offices for all of their employees that was safe,
reliable, electronic and available 24/7.
Solution:

Garage to meet the computer company’s exact specifications. Not only did E.V. Bishoff
company provide all 225 employees with parking that was steps to their corporate office but
we did so in approximately 30 days after notification of the need.

E.V. Bishoff Company has pioneered the concept of the Central Business District LOFTS in Columbus,
Cleveland and Pittsburgh. What is The LOFTS? Loft style offices typically are only available in fringe
areas to the downtowns, popping up in what historically were warehouse districts that were later
converted to office districts. With our vast experience of providing offices to mid-size businesses,
we found many businesses prefer to be in the Central Business District, but shy away from having
an office that is “typical”. Instead, they want the high ceilings, decorative lighting, hardwood floors,
and exposed to a creative, LOFT environment. They want brightly colored accent walls and exposed
bricks.
This is what The LOFTS are all about. The LOFTS are unique and allow you to be creative. They’re
energizing, and anything but "typical." Locate your office in The LOFTS and enjoy this high octane
environment wrapped with all the benefits you’ve come to appreciate and expect from E.V. Bishoff
Company.
