December 23, 20186 yr Here is the article about the above plan being presented to the Planing Commission on Thursday, as well as proposed redevelopment plans for a currently vacant former school building in the area: https://www.cleveland.com/lyndhurst-south-euclid/index.ssf/2018/12/south_euclid_84.html Quote Vision presented for South Euclid's Mayfield-Green; offer made to redevelop old Sacred Heart of Jesus School By Jeff Piorkowski/special to cleveland.com [email protected] [...] The plan for the school property was submitted by Newland Developments. Newland has proposed converting the former school building into 36 apartments, and its old cafeteria into a restaurant. Further, Newland proposed constructing a new, two-story mixed-use building on the corner of Rushton and South Green roads. Yvonne Sanderson, president of the city's community development corporation One South Euclid, said that Newland already has a purchase agreement in place for the property. [...] While the city awaits the outcome of the Newland proposal, the discussion of the Mayfield-Green plans that took up much of the meeting, made the Sacred Heart of Jesus property one of three sites that would become the focuses in making the Downtown South Euclid area more vital. The plans which Love and Subwick discussed were devised by YARD & Company, a relatively new Cincinnati urban growth firm. In addition to the Sacred Heart of Jesus property, the plan focused on the northeast corner of Mayfield and Green roads, now anchored by Key Bank, and across the street, the southwest corner of the same intersection. Additionally, the plans include a road diet for Green Rd, and the turning of Garden Dr into a sort of festival street, with a series of outdoor events and a beer garden beginning this summer.
January 12, 20196 yr Thursday's meeting on the above future of Mayfield and Green was very successful. There was about 150 people in attendance for the meeting which became standing room only, with the library completely running out of parking. The general mood of those in attendance was one of excitement, with overwhelming support for all aspects, including road diets for South Green and Mayfield and the inclusion of permanent bike lanes. Here is the link to the full presentation, including all of the nice renderings: https://www.onesoutheuclid.org/downtown https://www.onesoutheuclid.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/The-Future-of-Mayfield-Green.pdf Garden Drive festival area Intersection Events will start this year, including a beer garden, music, and food. Next year plans include restoring the storefronts along Mayfield to their historic facades and conversion of houses along Garden Drive into restaurant and office space. Two year plan envisions new mixed use construction along Green. Northeast corner of Mayfield will see murals and facade work starting this year. Longer term over the next two years envisions new mixed use construction on the parking lot behind the strip. Key Bank would move to the new construction building, and their current location on the corner would be converted into a rooftop brewery. Separate from the May-Green plan was the announcement of the plans to covert the former Sacred Heart of Jesus school buildings into apartments, restaurant space, and a preschool. Newland Developments has funding secured (requiring no government subsidies or abatements), tenants are lined up, and they can start construction as early as this year. They are currently in talks with the church for the purchase of the property. In addition to the rehab of the old school buildings, the development will include a new mixed use building on the corner of Rushton and Green, with either offices or apartments over retail space. This project is fully dependent on the church agreeing to sell to the developer.
July 25, 20195 yr Boiler 65 (out of Detroit Shoreway) will be opening an east side location at Cedar Center North. They'll be taking over the former Levin Matress location on the east end between Zoup and the free standing Panda Express. The plans envision glass garage doors opening out onto a large patio space.

March 27, 20205 yr Ah you beat me to it! The buyer is the same developer who years ago planned to open a kosher grocery in Lyndhurst, where Tesla now is. They ended up cancelling those plans when Seasons was originally announced to go in this building at Oakwood. Great to see they are still bullish on the area and are willing to come back. I would expect we will see renewed interest by the Jewish community in the neighborhoods directly east of Warrensville Center now, especially with the school finally being built on the CH part of Oakwood. There was growth in the area when the school and market were initially announced years ago, but it sort of died off when all of the plans stalled.
May 6, 20241 yr With Notre Dame College's campus up for sale, what are the prospects that it gets bought out by another school? It seems to me that the campus becoming "The Ohio State University at South Euclid" or something like that would probably be the best overall outcome. I'm struggling to see any other reasonable use for the property.

It seems to me that the campus becoming "The Ohio State University at South Euclid" or something like that would probably be the best overall outcome. I'm struggling to see any other reasonable use for the property. I would be surprised if that happens. Colleges are shrinking and secondary schools probably don't have the resources. I expect it to be bought by a developer, and hope that they can repurpose the buildings and retain some of the green space, while expecting that there will be some new construction (probably residential).
May 7, 20241 yr Another unlikely option would be a municipal acquisition. I could see the City of South Euclid potentially being interested in acquiring the rec center and fields for their residents. They have a community center, but from what I can tell it doesn't really have anything like what a typical college rec center would have, nor what several of the surrounding communities have. I have no idea if South Euclid has the funds, no seems like the safer bet, but the possibility shouldn't be discounted. It would certainly be a popular move. Being across from the library and next to a school it wouldn't be a bad location for one either. The other big public acquirer of land is the Metroparks, but this wouldn't be a logical purchase for them. The only way it would make sense is if they also intend to purchase Mayfield Sand Ridge Country Club, which as far as I know isn't for sale or looking to sell. I guess the country club could also want to expand, but I don't see how this land would benefit them, so also unlikely. If I were to guess I think selling of the land to a developer is most likely. Hopefully the buildings are preserved and converted to apartments. Knocking down some of those buildings (particularly the main one) would be criminal. I could see demand for living in a campus setting. Still I wouldn't be surprised if the City or some other public entity swoops in and claims some of the amenity/green space.
March 30Mar 30 A comment on infill housing in Cleveland Heights brought the infill housing being built in South Euclid to mind. Ryan homes has built about 20 new homes along Greenvale in South Euclid and all are now sold and occupied having sold at the low to mid $300k price point. They are continuing to build new homes on the sidesteeets along Green Road and Warrensville rd as part of their "Lowden Place" scattered site development of South Euclid. Hope they plan to keep it up! Also hope Cleveland Heights can really get a similar program growing for the lots in the Noble Nela area near East Cleveland.
