Hi! We’re Jim Landino and Jen Krezeczowski. Through JCL Development (home to several ventures), we’re focused on bringing historic Sharon buildings back to life and making them useful, joyful, and welcoming again. Most days you’ll find us on site or on the street with our crews, partners, and neighbors—creating a colorful community in downtown Sharon, PA.
Sharon has soul—steel-town grit, riverfront beauty, and block-after-block of buildings with great bones. Our philosophy is simple: honor the history, design for today, and invite people back downtown. We choose adaptive reuse over demolition, small-business incubation alongside housing, and public spaces that help people live, work, and play together.
Revive Landmark Buildings — lodges, armories, warehouses, storefronts—preserving character while upgrading comfort and safety.
Build Community Anchors — wellness, housing, food, and play that turn lights on downtown.
Support Local Operators — partnering with entrepreneurs and organizations to make great spaces truly come alive.
Dreamers + Developers — Jen leads creative direction and interiors; Jim steers site selection, financing, and delivery.
Design with Care — natural light, accessibility, efficient systems, durable finishes, and human-scale details.
Collaborate Widely — with craftspeople, neighbors, and civic partners so each project supports the whole district.
JCL has many voices—project managers, designers, trades, small-business owners, and neighbors—shaping our shared commitment to creating a colorful community. We love telling their stories through tours, photos, and project write-ups.
