The Rebirth of City Living City Living Series Part 1 Lifestyle – a buzz word in the home building industry among developers and potential buyers. It is a unique term that is transforming the way new neighborhoods are planned. It is also a word at the forefront of Zaremba’s mind regarding their plans for The Avenue District. Incorporating ones lifestyle is an important factor when making a decision to purchase a new home. Everyone wants to live in a community where they find everything at their fingertips. But, where can you truly find this place without having to drive? The city is just that place. A rebirth of city living is blossoming across the country with downtown residential developments like The Avenue District. Cleveland is now at the forefront of this movement. There are close to 10,000 residents who already live in Downtown Cleveland including 3,000 in The Avenue District alone. The Theatre and Warehouse Districts, The Gateway Neighborhood, and The Flats house the other 7,000 residents. There are many benefits to downtown living that have contributed to this rebirth. The opportunity to live in a walkable neighborhood, the rise in gas prices, and the close proximity to sporting events, concerts, restaurants, nightclubs, and cultural venues are drawing residents to move back to the core of the city. Offering trendy, sophisticated, and unique living in Downtown Cleveland promises many opportunities that nearby suburbs can not offer its residents and is another reason people are flocking to these urban dwellings. One of the many residential development projects assisting in this rebirth of Downtown Cleveland living is The Avenue District. With major residential developments taking place all over the city, Clevelanders have many exciting opportunities to embark upon an urban lifestyle. If you are interested in lifestyle living, now is your chance to join others and take advantage of all of the new developments in the heart of Downtown Cleveland. an email i got from their website, seems to be some good spin on downtown cleveland, but 3000 people already live there???

heres where it will be built, not too much of the important part of the structure will be gone it looks

well i drive down to school from north royalton since art stuff is hard to bring on public transit. however to go from university circle to downtown the redline is my top choice which i ride usually 3-5 times a week.

Developer unveils bold blueprint for Flats office By STAN BULLARD 6:00 am, October 10, 2005 The office market in downtown Cleveland has been so weak for so long that real estate insiders rarely talk about the prospect of someone constructing a commercial office building in the city. But that isn't stopping Scott Wolstein from incorporating a 10-story, multitenant office building in his redevelopment plans for the Flats. Despite a 23% downtown office vacancy rate, Mr. Wolstein said he believes his proposed, 275,000-square-foot structure could be 'a signature building that would be a part of the future of Cleveland.' It would be located north of Front Street on a site overlooking Lake Erie and the rest of the planned, $230 million complex of apartments, condos and stores that are envisioned by Mr. Wolstein's family-owned Wolstein Group.

Flats plan on approval fast track Wolstein scurries for city’s OK so he can beat rising interest rates By STAN BULLARD 6:00 am, October 3, 2005 Scott Wolstein and supporters of his $230 million plan to remake the East Bank of the Flats are seeking rapid Cleveland City Council approval of legislation to move the project forward, but the developer maintains his need for speed is driven more by interest rate hikes out of Washington than political considerations at home.

^i took my friend from nyc there a month or two ago and she said the same thing

after using the usually desolate e120th rapid station this evening i've noticed this new development has REALLY triggered more ridership by students since its within really close walking distance of the new case dorms. even from tower city theres more kids waiting on a weekday night for the eastbound redline train. its rather noticeable and nice since usually i see the one lone fellow art student using that station in the past

CLEVELAND - Mayor Jane Campbell unveiled new sketches and updated progress on the city's plan to remake the lakefront. Campbell is updating efforts to bring Clevelanders to the water. $100 million has already spent on projects like the Key 55 housing complex and walkways near Voinovich Park. Waterfront living at Battery Park and plans to make the west Shoreway a boulevard are moving along. And, the Mather Shipping Museum's is moving this weekend. It will dock next to the science center. http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=41033 did they mean Quay 55????

Canton has more than Columbus......?

compared to the loop buses they have now this is an upgrade

oh wow, i like it aside from the weird roof, i say just keep it flat and simple. its funny, working for the art museum at ingenuity i must have heard at least ten people talking about how they "heard theres going to be a condo tower going up" too...

wait isnt the expansion of the art museum essentially adding in a space that can display large work by putting a ceiling over the courtyard...?

Clinic says London is calling, and it isn’t alone By SHANNON MORTLAND 6:00 am, September 19, 2005 Still in the early stages of building its $400 million heart center downtown, the Cleveland Clinic now is looking at expansion opportunities in other states and abroad. 'There are some select opportunities in other U.S. cities and quite a few inquiries around the world,' said Dr. Alan London, a family medicine doctor and executive director of international business development at the Clinic. In the past two years, hospitals across the country and overseas have flooded the Clinic with inquiries about collaborating with the Clinic in one way or another, Dr. London said. Read More...

now its over 200 million??? this is getting really exciting.

its hard to tell what else this could mean. on one hand maybe he is thinking down the line of moving to cleveland, or adding more gradual to the cleveland center. on the hand this could just be the fact that cleveland isnt used to people like this being so enthusiastic about downtown. all i can say is that i was downtown today and there seemed to be a lot of "spectators" walking around taking photos and whatnot.

yea i must say from someone outside of cincy, im confused as to what OTR actually is. a friend of mine whos from cincy will always say "yea you dont want to be in downtown cincinnati at night" as opposed to being in cleveland's warehouse district till 3am. but to me, and this is just from passing by at night, it didnt seem too "scary" downtown in cincinnati.

Cavs Owner To Locate 350 High-Paying Jobs Here Cleveland Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, who also is chairman of Quicken Loans, on Thursday said he’s selected Cleveland as the site for a new loan office that will create 350 high-paying jobs, as in $85,000-$90,000 a year in salary and commission. Office will be located downtown, as close to Gund Arena as possible, Gilbert said. Set to open mid-2006. Jobs will be for mortgage bankers/loan officers who will process incoming customer calls/ loan applications. The office will not telemarket, so it’s not a call center.
