Cleveland leaves door open for Browns to stay

Ken Prendergast / August 2, 2025

While it may be unlikely the existing Huntington Bank Field will remain standing if and when the Cleveland Browns leave it, the head of a nonprofit corporation overseeing lakefront development kept the door open for the National Football League team to return if it chooses. But the clock is running for the Browns’ owners to compete with other prospective lakefront developers to respond to a request for qualifications (RFQ) issued last month.

Ken Prendergast / July 28, 2025

It’s much nicer to consider a new lakefront trail project now in July rather than in January when construction is due to begin. But between now and then, the city of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County and the Cleveland Metroparks will be finalizing agreements for the construction and maintenance of the Euclid Beach Connector Trail.

Ken Prendergast / July 24, 2025

It’s not a good situation when the two major commercial segments of the market — office and industrial — are both seeing sluggish times in terms of leasing activity. In fact, both sectors in Greater Cleveland saw tenants give back more space to the market than they absorbed due to some large, high-profile departures.

Ken Prendergast / July 23, 2025

While NEOtrans usually doesn’t cover development news in the collar counties around Cuyahoga County, the funded expansion of Lorain County Regional Airport could have a significant impact on the urban core of Greater Cleveland.

During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, Sherwin-Williams (SHW) executives allowed the company’s office workers to either work from home, the office or a hybrid mix.

Three days after Ohio officials approved $600 million in state funds for the Haslam Sports Group’s new stadium in suburban Cleveland, billionaires Dee and Jimmy Haslam closed on the purchase of a $25 million beachfront mansion in Florida.

Cleveland developments to benefit from HB96

Ken Prendergast / July 11, 2025

When sifting through the many development incentives in the state’s newly passed two-year budget, it becomes clear that a lot of Cleveland urban core projects are going to be eligible for them and potentially benefit from them. But, as we saw from a state program to aid megaprojects, a program will only benefit a region if there are projects and their sponsors in that region who will apply for them.

Ken Prendergast / July 8, 2025

This could be a battle to watch in the coming years — a battle of the billionaires and their venues for Northeast Ohio’s entertainment dollars. And in the latest round, the win goes to Dan Gilbert, David Blitzer and Downtown Cleveland for securing the fifth US location of Cosm, an immersive technology sports and entertainment attraction.
