Arielle Kass

Crain’s Detroit Business has hired reporter Arielle Kass to cover residential real estate.

Executive editor Kelly Root reports, “The job is a homecoming of sorts for Arielle, a seasoned business reporter and Ohio native who worked for our sister publication, Crain’s Cleveland Business, for several years early in her career.

“She comes to Crain’s Detroit from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where she spent the past 10 years covering a variety of beats, including residential real estate and finance; retail and logistics; and most recently, local government response to the pandemic.

“Prior to that, she covered finance and law for Crain’s Cleveland Business for two years, and planning and development for the Gwinnett (Ga.) Daily Post for four years.

“While in Atlanta, Arielle covered the city’s housing recovery and reported on foreclosures, home sales and investors buying homes, among other topics. She won multiple awards from the National Association of Real Estate Editors for her enterprise work.”
