As the new year opens to a snowy start, a flurry of local construction activity is bringing four ongoing senior apartment projects totaling over 200 units closer to completion. A fifth, the 55-unit Hough Senior Living, has started site preparation after closing on financing.
In the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood, a plan to build 51 affordable senior apartments above a rebuilt Walz Branch of the Cleveland Public Library has started construction.
Construction begins on Walz Library-Karam Senior Living at West 80th Street and Detroit Avenue in Cleveland’s Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood (Harrison Whittaker).
Karam Senior Living, the residential component of the development at 7910 Detroit Ave., is led by a partnership between Salus Development LLC and the nonprofit Northwest Neighborhoods Community Development Corp. The library on the lower level is being built by Gilbane Building Company while Marous Brothers Construction is the general contractor for the apartments above.
In Clark-Fulton, Walton Apartments is constructing 52 affordable units for seniors while helping to restore the historic urban neighborhood’s walkability.
Walton Apartments’ stairwells and elevator core are seen across Clark Avenue in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood (Harrison Whittaker).
The development is located on Clark Avenue near Fulton Road, but its driveway and parking will be built in the rear at 3517 Walton Ave. to reduce conflicts with traffic and pedestrians.
Walton Apartments is developed by Völker Development Inc. of Wisconsin and designed by RDL Architects. Johnson G. Johnson Construction of Cleveland is building them.
