SoLo developments rebuild Ohio City housing stock

Harrison Whittaker / February 17, 2026

While revitalization efforts since the 1990s have transformed Cleveland’s Ohio City into a vibrant urban destination, the demolition of vacant, abandoned, and fire damaged homes has scarred some blocks with empty lots.

Market District Lofts in Ohio City to expand

Ken Prendergast / August 21, 2024

On most other plots of land, adding 17 homes to it would be noticeable from the street. But if a proposed expansion of the Market District Lofts in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood happens, it might be the most below-the-radar residential development in the urban core since The Residences at The Guardian condominiums opened downtown.

Voss factory conversion comes into focus

Ken Prendergast / May 27, 2023

Legislation was introduced this week by several Cleveland City Council members to help finance the conversion of the abandoned Voss Industries plant, 2168 W. 25th St., in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood into a mixed-use complex.
