The stage is set for the debut of The Bulkley Residences in Downtown Cleveland’s Playhouse Square District. Its 84 apartments have layouts span four floors of the nine-story historic Bulkley Building, 1501 Euclid Ave. in the heart of Playhouse Square.
The apartments are now available for leasing, and range in size from studio to one-bedroom and two-bedroom, as well as an amenity space. A portion of the units are already earmarked for use by cast and crew members appearing in shows at Playhouse Square. NEOtrans broke the story in 2023 about the plan to convert roughly half of the historic building to residential.
“With the addition of The Bulkley Residences to the Playhouse Square District, we are building on an already vibrant place to live, work and play in downtown Cleveland” said, Craig Hassall, Playhouse Square president and CEO in a written statement.
“Not only can we offer a new, accessible destination for those that want to call Cleveland home, but we can also provide that same welcoming environment for touring artists who are here for weeks at a time,” he added.

Located right on busy Euclid Avenue, in Downtown Cleveland The Bulkley Residences are an easy walk to restaurants, shops and of course the theatrical nightlife of Playhouse Square (Google).
The architect for this project is Berardi Partners of Columbus; the general contractor is John G. Johnson; and the co-developer is Liberty Development. The Playhouse Square District’s latest addition of The Bulkley Residences follow the purchase of The Greyhound Station and the recent openings of The Brasserie, The Bulkley Bar, The Friars’ Table and Gochujang.
Visitors to the entertainment destination, as well as residents partaking in a staycation, can experience new features at the Crowne Plaza at Playhouse Square. The refresh includes the lobby space, guest bathroom conversions, as well as an update to the restaurant, which has been newly renamed to Brel’s.
That name is a nod to the 1970s production of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris – the show that saved Playhouse Square’s historic theaters. It was a successful test to see if people would come back downtown to enjoy live theater. The restaurant’s menu also features new dishes for guests to try.
“The Playhouse Square District already welcomes more than one million guests every year, and we are thrilled to expand our offerings for both new visitors and regular theatergoers alike,” continued Hassall.
“Whether you are seeing a performance in one of our beautiful theaters, enjoying a meal at one of our district restaurants or extending your time with a stay at the Crowne Plaza, we hope to cultivate an exciting and memorable experience,” he said.
