Cleveland Development Model
Interactive Model (3D Map)
This tool is designed to provide a look at the significant private and public investment taking place in Cleveland’s Central Business District, Midtown, University Circle and portions of Hough, Glenville and Fairfax neighborhoods.
The model allows users to virtually navigate downtown and identify projects in various stages of investment and development, highlighting the opportunities shaping the city’s growth for the next decade.

Model - Latest Updates
Updated in July 2023, it includes major downtown developments, as well as major institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University, including the proposed Innovation District. Additions in July added 169 buildings to the initial 198, and almost four- square miles, nearly doubling its scope (original model was 4.77 square miles).
The model represents over $1.8B in investment underway or planned. It will continue to be updated as investments progress through phases of development and as new projects and plans are initiated.
This model is intended to serve as a resource to policymakers, real estate developers and investors, public officials, community leaders, and the general public by highlighting major projects, plans, and opportunities that will continue to shape Downtown Cleveland’s growth for the next decade.
The Downtown Cleveland Digital Model was designed and built by Cleveland-based City Architecture and is managed by Greater Cleveland Partnership in collaboration with the City of Cleveland, Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Ohio City Incorporated, Campus District and Flats Forward.
