W Hotel

Despite winning $23 million in tax credits to enable a $100 million historic and transformational redevelopment of the Tower at Erieview, two major proposed tenants are reportedly backing out of the project. Conversion of the 1964-built, 40-story office tower and its Galleria mall, 1301 E. 9th St., into a mixed-use complex could be facing an uphill climb with the apparent withdrawal of a luxury W Hotel and co-working chain Industrious.
