The new home of iHeartMedia Cleveland later this year will be the ground floor of 668 Euclid Ave. in Downtown Cleveland. Not only will renovation work get underway soon for the new media studios and offices, the 23-story City Club Apartments will soon fill the space at left (Google).
Today, iHeartMedia Cleveland announced plans to move their regional office to downtown Cleveland. The new location will be at 668 Euclid Ave. and will include a 10-year agreement lease with K&D Group.
