We will wrap up our year of education sessions with a panel of speakers who will delve into the details of several significant building development projects in Cleveland. They will provide project insights on:
- Irishtown Bend: Rising above the Cuyahoga River, Irishtown Bend will transform a once unstable hillside into a 25-acre riverfront park connecting Cleveland neighborhoods, downtown, and the river. Following a major hillside stabilization effort, the park will feature trails, gathering and recreational spaces, and opportunities to celebrate the area’s cultural and industrial heritage. The project demonstrates how infrastructure investment can unlock new public space, strengthen neighborhood connections, and expand access to nature.
- North Coast Lakefront Development: Cleveland’s lakefront is set for a remarkable transformation. This multi-phased project will connect Downtown with Lake Erie’s waterfront. It will reimagine the 55 acres that include Huntington Bank Field and surrounding parking lots into a vibrant mixed-use district. A planned bridge will connect Downtown’s core to the lakefront, spanning over Rt. 2. We will also discuss potential plans to incorporate the 450 acres of Burke Lakefront Airport in the overall design.
- Project Scarlet / Rose Building Redevelopment: This project’s mission is to preserve the Rose Building’s historic beauty while transforming it into an upscale Marriott Tribute hotel and – world’s first! – Marriott Tribute branded apartments. Developers paid close attention to environmental factors while transforming this iconic Cleveland building into a world-class hospitality and sophisticated living experience. We’ll learn about the step-by-step process, current status / timeline and details of this unique hospitality / multifamily development at the “front door” of Downtown Cleveland.
- The Midline: The Midline will transform approximately 350 acres of underutilized industrial land on Cleveland’s East Side into a new employment district anchored by a more than two-mile greenway. Bringing together brownfield remediation, economic development, and public-realm investment, the project is designed to attract advanced manufacturing and emerging industries while creating green space and stronger neighborhood connections—ensuring that economic growth and community investment advance together.
