Downtown soccer stadium project takes a time-out

A 10,000-seat soccer stadium proposed to be built in downtown Cleveland is on hold until pandemic-hurt finances improve among backers of the project so they can acquire a site for it.

Last spring, the Ohio Department of Transportation began soliciting responses from prospective real estate brokers or auctioneers to help it dispose of at least 30 acres of land it owns immediately south of the Inner Belt section of Interstate 90 next to Ontario Street.

Could Cliffs’ acquisitions bring another downtown tower?

When you look at several critical aspects behind Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.’s recent acquisitions of AK Steel and ArcelorMittal USA, you can see how it’s possible, if not probable, that Cliffs won’t be a tenant of 200 Public Square for much longer.

The critical aspects behind the acquisitions include the post-assimilation staffing needs of the combined company measured against the office space vacancies in Cliffs’ headquarters building. The data for populating this equation were gathered from online sources and by interviewing Cliffs staffpersons, real estate brokers and others familiar with Cliffs and its acquired companies.

Dream Hotel development delayed more than a year

Given the current state of the pandemic-ravaged hospitality industry, it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that the proposed 19-story Dream Hotel next to the Masonic Temple in Cleveland’s Midtown has been delayed.

According to the construction database The Dodge Reports, the delay will be more than one year. The site reported that design work on the hotel will be on hold until Summer 2021. That means the earliest construction could start would be Summer 2022, it said. Last spring, officials at New York-based Dream Hotels hoped to start construction in early 2021.
