Campus District

What’s next in Superior Arts District?

The south side of Superior Avenue in the Superior Arts District has been getting all the love in recent years. And why not? The sunny side of the main drag on the east side of downtown Cleveland is the new home of Cross Country Mortgage which relocated more than 600 employees from suburban Brecksville. You can also find residential conversions at 2320 and 2104-2110 Superior.

But the north side of the street is about to grab its share of attention, too.

The next CSU: a few insights

When Cleveland State University (CSU) formally released its downtown campus master plan to the public last week, a few things were left out.
