NewsParticipantCleveland to unveil new plan for lakefront development
Published: Sunday, November 13, 2011, 6:00 AM
By Thomas Ott, The Plain Dealer
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Mayor Frank Jackson will unveil a plan Monday for developing the downtown waterfront, a vision he says will finally capitalize on the city’s No. 1 asset and make it a focal point for the region. The ambitious plan covers 90 acres, stretching east from the Port of Cleveland’s cargo docks past Cleveland Browns Stadium and the East 9th Street pier to Burke Lakefront Airport.
It calls for a hotel, restaurants, shops and offices — perhaps more than 2 million square feet in all — to be built largely with private money over many years. Water taxis, arcades, a promenade, bicycle paths and two pedestrian bridges would link the waterfront amenities or connect them to the rest of downtown.

By Michelle Jarboe McFee, The Plain DealerCLEVELAND, Ohio — With apartments nearly full and waiting lists piling up, a sense of rental euphoria has fallen over downtown Cleveland.

NewsParticipantMay Co. building owners eye parking conversion; cars could fill 4 floors of historic Cleveland store
Published: Wednesday, February 15, 2012
By Michelle Jarboe McFee, The Plain DealerCLEVELAND, Ohio — Banking on demand from the casino and other downtown projects, the owners of the May Co. building hope to turn four floors of the historic department store into a parking garage. For years, developers and architects have eyed the eight-story building, at 200 Euclid Ave., for apartments, hotel rooms, offices and entertainment venues. Now plans submitted to the city of Cleveland show another proposal: Nearly 750 parking spaces, between ground-floor retail and upper floors that might become housing and offices.

columbusmikeParticipantAwful. The developer would be wise to apply for historic tax credits instead and develop it into a mixed-use building, not for parking. Would be a shame if Cleveland granted approval for this.

Displaced ColumbusiteParticipantCleveland City Council Ok’s Lakefront Plan

Pickerington_KyleParticipantI laughed when I was reading the comments from the Lakefront Plan. One person said they should build a Disney World Cleveland there, and he’s like yea yea I know there’s Cedar Point right down the road but still… Lol.
Why doesn’t Columbus have an amusement park? I mean we have Zoombezi Bay and the Columbus Zoo, but we don’t have rollercoasters (and I don’t count the ones at Zoombezi Bay) or an actual Resort? We live within 49% of the population with easy road access and airports… All we need is a monorail from the airport to the Zoo. :)

CbusIslanderParticipantSo how is this “plan” getting financed? The arena distict had some fat wallets behind its plan and just now getting to ‘near’ completion after 15 years. I would guess this plan will take 30 years till completion. I am being optimistic since Cleveland has been making plans for this area for 40 plus years. Best of luck.
March 21, 2012 12:24 pm at 12:24 pm #469660
columbusmikeParticipantI’m guessing this would be mostly private development, minus some initial groundwork put in place by the city. This looks like a well-thought plan…and I imagine it will generate an enormous benefit for Cleveland.
I’m still waiting for Columbus to develop such a well-crafted plan for downtown near COSI…

futuremanParticipantThis is an interesting renovation. You don’t typically see high rises like this (built early 1960’s) be retrofitted from offices to apartments. I believe this is the building in question – http://g.co/maps/hef9e
