Downtown Cleveland continues to be a focus for investment and development. Major projects underway include the Sherwin-Williams Headquarters (36-story building on Public Square) and the Progressive Field ballpark renovation. In addition, plans are underway to transform the Centennial Building and Cleveland State has recently unveiled its updated campus master plan.
A major priority for all is to re-connect Cleveland to its waterfronts, both Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River, enabling public access and spurring nearby development. GCP is supporting the City’s and County’s vision to reconnect the community to the water, our greatest natural asset. This includes the Downtown Lakefront (North Coast), the Riverfront Cleveland development and the Irishtown Bend Park.
To inform developers and funders and to enable all to visualize the transformation underway, GCP has produced an interactive Cleveland Development 3-D digital model. The model includes existing buildings and projects in planning and construction, with links to further information.
Cleveland's waterfront is one of our most prized natural treasures. This map is an interactive tool, illustrating our region's waterfront future including completed projects, projects in progress and future projects.
The first in a series of studies that document how waterfront and infrastructure developments through public-private partnerships have spurred investment and growth in Greater Cleveland neighborhoods.
A continuation of the 'Growth on the Waterfront' case studies, we take a deeper look at how intentionality, inclusivity and collaboration is expanding Greater Cleveland's access to the waterfront with 'The Euclid Model: A Case Study.' Much has changed over the last 15 years, when Euclid had little public access to the lake, the trail was private land and erosion was claiming lakefront properties. Thanks to a unique public-private partnership, lakefront access has been opened, the eroding land has been stabilized, and the park has brought vibrant new life into the neighborhood – and city.
This independent study was conducted to understand the breadth and depth of residential demand in a market that has seen greater downtown grow to over 30,000 residents.
