Mike Wish

- Owner/President

Mike bought his first building in 1997. Since then, he’s been improving and beautifying the community with his projects. Mike is not only a developer, but an improver; with every project, he seeks to leave the surrounding area a little better than he found it. This means producing a beautiful, high-quality outfit, perfect for the tenant meant to use the space. His community-driven mindset influences company culture; under Mike’s leadership, Wish Development is a tight-knit team, committed to the client’s satisfaction.

Mike’s career as a real estate developer emerged over time. His interest in real estate development came from his career in law. In 1999, he established a legal practice assisting real estate entrepreneurs in maximizing their investments. Ultimately, he decided to devote his full attention to real estate rental and development, retiring from legal practice and starting his real estate development company in 2006.

Mike received an undergraduate BA degree from DePauw University in 1993 and a Law degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1997. He is an alumnus of the Katz School’s Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence. Mike is a former member of the Board of the New Castle YMCA, Lawrence County Economic Development, and the Jameson Hospital Board, where he served on Committees for Strategic Planning and Buildings and Grounds. In 2017, he received the Lawrence County Economic Development Impact Award. Mike lives in New Castle with his wife Michelle and daughters Reagan and Shenley.
