In 2024, Cleveland’s Scranton Peninsula was home to a single resident. Now the construction of 609 homes ranging from studio to 3-bedroom apartments creates enough residential capacity for more than a thousand.
The NRP Group’s 316-unit apartment and townhome development, The Collins at the Riverbend, finished construction in 2025 and was reported to be 70 percent occupied by mid-October.
Across the street, construction is approaching completion on Triton at the Flats, a 293-unit apartment complex by Silver Hills Development and Edwards Communities.
At the northeast corner of the Triton development, façade work wraps up as leasing begins (Harrison Whittaker).
Triton, 1960 Carter Rd., is now leasing and currently offers two months of free rent for residents who move in before the end of February. Its two buildings on the west side of the peninsula directly overlook the Cuyahoga River and offer amenities such as a clubhouse, pet spa, and “resort inspired” pool.
The Collins, 1957 Carter, offers similar high-end amenities and includes luxury apartments as well as townhome-style rentals. About 43 units are still listed, with two-month rent concessions available for a few more weeks.
The two projects have transformed a vacant industrial site in the Flats into a dense urban neighborhood. While previous owner Forest City Enterprises had planned for decades to build a large mixed-use development on the land, it had been unable to make the numbers work.
On the east side of Carter Road, The Collins at the Riverbend has already leased the vast majority of units (Harrison Whittaker).
In 2017, its parcels were sold to a partnership between Fred Geis, East West Alliance, and J Roc Development. The new owners marketed the land as part of a broader masterplan called Thunderbird.
The vision was aimed to redevelop Scranton Peninsula into a new neighborhood. Key to its success was the decision to split the work between multiple developers.
Despite their quiet location in the Flats, the new apartments on Scranton Peninsula sit at the midpoint between Downtown and Ohio City. Residents will be a 6-minute bike ride from the West Side Market and a 3-minute ride from Bedrock’s massive riverfront development planned next to Tower City.
Despite frigid temperatures, crews are still hard at work on Irishtown Bend Park (Harrison Whittaker).
In a few years, they will also be steps away from a brand new Irishtown Bend Park. Construction is well underway on the stabilization of the 23-acre hillside overlooking the Cuyahoga River and Downtown skyline.
Once stabilization is complete, construction of the final piece of the Cleveland Metroparks’ Centennial Lake Link Trail will create a direct off-street walking and biking route between Scranton Peninsula and Lake Erie.
Combined, The Collins and Triton have added over 600 new homes with a theoretical capacity exceeding 1,000 residents. Actual occupancy will depend on household sizes and vacancy rates (Harrison Whittaker).
While Triton and The Collins consist of rental units, a number of projects in the Duck Island neighborhood between Ohio City and Tremont are increasing the supply of owner-occupied housing.
At the south end of Carter Road, two of 12 proposed luxury townhomes are currently under construction. The homes sit at the base of a hill adjacent to Scranton Peninsula.
Construction on two out of 12 proposed townhomes on Carter Road has continued into 2026 (Harrison Whittaker).
At the top of that hill on West 14th Street, a large single-family home with a panoramic view of Cleveland’s skyline appears to be nearly complete. It replaces an older residential structure whose owner allegedly questioned why anyone would be interested in purchasing the property.
On the south side of Duck Island at 1913 Abbey Ave., Berges Home Performance and Horton Harper Architects are building four townhomes called the Abbey Residences.
A large single-family home on West 14th Street in Duck Island awaits completion (Harrison Whittaker).
The townhomes replaced a small single-family home built more than a century ago. The new residences will offer private balconies, rooftop patios, and two-car garages.
Directly across the street, The Abbey Townhomes and Flats completed 132 apartments and 10 townhomes just two years ago.
The Abbey Residences’ four townhomes have topped out on Abbey Avenue (Harrison Whittaker).
