The part that really makes this feasible is all of the other planned and ongoing developments in the neighborhood. Slow but eventually there'll have Inca Tea near the Broadway and E 55th intersection. A big wetland nature preserve will be coming in behind the boys and girls club on reclaimed land. The next phase of the Trailside homes is coming along well. The opportunity corridor is coming along and will provide a great link to the neighborhood. The St. Hyacinth development will be gaining more steam as the corridor nears completion. And rezoning plans for the neighborhood are all encouraging a more walkable, dense neighborhood. Sure there was a lot slowing this down especially with the recession but things are finally coming under control. Vacancy rates earlier this year were 8.5%, the lowest they've been since 2007 before the mortgage crisis. These vacancies have paved the way for SVR to renovate empty homes and unsavable homes have been used as opportunities to give to neighbors as side lots or to turn into pocket parks scattered throughout. Slowly but surely things are improving, both in Slavic Village and throughout the rest of Cleveland.

Not sure if the design has changed since last year, but here are some renderings of this project.
