On March 16, family, friends and colleagues of Thomas V. Chema received horrible news. The 78-year-old leader of civic causes and institutions died suddenly at his home in Downtown Cleveland. Chema was in the midst of excitedly pursuing his latest civic endeavor — the extension of Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad trains into downtown.
In the latest episode of “where are they looking now,” Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC) reportedly has its eye on a site in suburban Westlake near the Interstate 90-Columbia Road interchange for a new production facility. But the deal isn’t done and the city of Cleveland reportedly is striving to keep one of Ohio’s largest craft brewers in the city.
The largest redevelopment site in Cleveland’s Lee-Harvard neighborhood now has a development team selected to repurpose it with a vibrant, mixed-use district of housing, neighborhood retail, civic uses and public spaces, according to a community vision crafted last year.
One of Downtown Cleveland’s oldest surviving buildings is about to see a structural renewal that also offer a more uplifting place for hundreds of people to work and visit. The Chancery Building, 1027 Superior Ave., was built in 1888 as a school but later was converted to offices. That use will be confirmed by a $15 million renovation.
Eight redevelopment project sites won a total of nearly $18 million from the Ohio Department of Development’s Brownfield Program so the sites can be cleaned up and, in some cases, their existing structures are to be demolished. One of those where demolition is planned is the former Cleveland Thermal steam plant, 2274 Canal Rd., in Downtown Cleveland.
In a $30.6M deal, a national real estate investment firm added 119 newly constructed apartments in Cleveland’s Hough neighborhood to its growing portfolio. New Jersey-based Reynolds Asset Management acquired Park Lamont, 9606 Lamont Ave., and The Lumos, 1866 E. 93rd St. Both are located a short walk or bike ride from jobs and classrooms in booming University Circle.
According to two sources familiar with the matter, the International Exhibition (I-X) Center next to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport will become a data center. And, according to one of those sources, the end user is likely to be Amazon Web Services.
Too much is never enough. When you’re marketing land to new end-users, you can’t have enough clean, developable land in the urban core. And one of the largest, if not the largest in the city of Cleveland has just been assembled by the Cuyahoga Land Bank. The site is located at 12610 Kirby Ave. in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood, bordering on Collinwood.
Following up on a story first reported by NEOtrans a month ago, the long-planned Walz Branch of the Cleveland Public Library (CPL) and Karam Senior Living apartments will indeed see construction start in June. In fact, a groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled at 10 a.m. this Friday at the project site, 7910 Detroit Ave., to officially kick off the project.
