Hot New Condo is Coolest in Downtown Cleveland

Downtown Cleveland is Hot, Hot, Hot! With over 95% residential occupancy, a new grocery store under construction, five new hotels in development, a shiny new Global Center for Health Innovation, casino, world-class convention center, a gorgeous lake front park and pier with boat docking slips at the front door to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Public Square redevelopment into an iconic city center park, free downtown trolleys, 5th Street Arcades mall redevelopment catering to arts and independent retail interests, a bulging theater district (second only to NYC), and a booming downtown university (to name just a few projects which account for $4 billion dollars in recent economic development) downtown Cleveland continues to rack up the accolades from former nay sayers such as the New York Times which gushed over Cleveland’s popular restaurant row, East 4th Street, and a recent Fortune CNN Money post which predicts Cleveland may be America’s next Brooklyn!
