Progress Pics: Shoreway Tower, Westinghouse, The Vantage, more
In Cleveland’s Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood, a slew of residential and mixed-use developments are set to transform the area south of Edgewater Park.
Behind The Shoreway — a luxury apartment complex in the rehabbed Globe Machine building — a 13-story apartment tower is beginning to rise.
At the north end of West 78th St, a tower crane erects Shoreway Tower (Harrison Whittaker).
Dubbed Shoreway Tower, the new, mixed use structure at 1200 W. 76th St. is built by J Roc Development and will offer sweeping views of Lake Erie from a rooftop deck. The development is located directly across the Shoreway boulevard from Edgewater Beach.
However, another project along the lakefront roadway has seen comparatively little progress. Above the southeast corner of Edgewater Park, the former Westinghouse Electric plant is planned to undergo nearly $60 million in renovations.
The Foundry Building will replace an older structure at right, retaining its historic façade (Harrison Whittaker).
The project, whose development team is organized as TW58 Cleveland LLC, will convert the eight-story structure to residential units. In the adjacent Foundry Building, the developers plan to build three floors of housing and two floors of commercial space atop a new parking deck, behind the old foundry’s preserved façade.
Despite completing interior demolition work in 2024, redevelopment of the historic structure has yet to begin.
The Vantage townhomes on Herman Avenue are fitted with “SOLD” signs written in bright red letters (Harrison Whittaker).
Just to the south on Herman Avenue, several residential infill projects are well underway.
At 5217 Herman Ave., work has wrapped up on The Vantage, a five-townhome development led by Harbor Whitman and designed by Horton Harper Architects.

The townhome project replaces a 2019 plan which would have built eight townhomes on the site.
Across the street, more infill homes have already started to rise.

Further west at 6400 Herman Ave., site demolition has finished for Canopy, a 135-unit apartment complex planned next to Herman Park. The project is a a joint venture between Heirloom Company of Cleveland and Pride One Construction of Medina.
Also planned at Herman Park are TurnDev’s Breakwater Residences, 5901-6001 Breakwater Ave., which have not seen construction work since the previous factory building was demolished earlier last year.

Near the edge of the Ohio City neighborhood, the construction of 11 townhomes by Driven 4 Group is finally coming to an end. The property was purchased by Forest City Shuffleboard owner Jim Miketo in 2019.
The townhome development at 4705 Bridge Ave., originally planned to be built by Knez Homes, was subject to years of delays due to unfavorable interest rate conditions and pushback from City Planning Commission’s Design Review Committee.

Despite conforming to building and zoning codes, the project was rejected twice by the Design Review Committee. After an 18-month legal battle, the project was rejected once again by the Planning Commission, but this rejection was overturned by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
