Cleveland has picked its new spot for the convention center, the lakefront mall, but its still in the planning stages.

Expect to see development start by October of 2009.

East 55th marina moves east if Cleveland port relocates - Business – cleveland.com

East 55th marina moves east if Cleveland port relocates

Updated at 5:51 p.m.

The state-run marina at East 55th Street would move east and become part of Gordon Park, under a plan to relocate Cleveland's downtown port.

The marina move is a hot topic in the local boating community. The marina at East 55th is a popular but aging fixture, with 362 slips, bountiful parking and fishing platforms.

Those amenities would disappear under the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority's proposal to move its 100-acre operation, now west of Cleveland Browns Stadium, to a site twice that size that is north of East 55th Street.

The port and the city want to move the docks and the warehouses to make way for a maritime neighborhood downtown. The move would start in 2024 and end a decade or more later.

City planners gave conditional approval to the port's move a year ago, but only if the port replaces the marina and other amenities.

At a meeting today, port authority officials showed for the first time their concept for a new marina.

It would sit north of East 72nd Street, as part of Gordon Park and close to **** 14. The 88-acre ****, a former dump site, is a bird haven.

$500 million decision: What to do with Cleveland's port?



Another $500 million decision looms, Cleveland. And it's got nothing to do with a medical mart.

Instead, look to your lakefront, where the powers that be are considering one of the largest public works projects in the city's history -- moving the downtown port and doubling its size.

The massive move - from west of Cleveland Browns Stadium to east of Burke Lakefront Airport - wouldn't start for more than 10 years. But planning has begun, and four questions stand out:

Why move?

Why this site?

Why so much space?

And how do we pay for it?



The next few months will start to yield answers.

In May, the Army Corps of Engineers is scheduled to release its study of how the move would affect the environment at three sites along the lakefront, including a man-made peninsula jutting into the lake at East 55th Street.

The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority and city prefer that site so far. And the Corps might well recommend it.

"It's part of the bigger picture, to help the community by moving," says business executive Steven Williams, chairman of the port board. "If we move, let's look not just at what we do now, but what we can do to generate more revenue and jobs."

Cleveland's downtown is considered choice real estate for outlet shopping - Business – cleveland.com

Cleveland's downtown is considered choice real estate for outlet shopping

"Store sales have fallen from Target to Tiffany as consumers hoard cash.

Yet an updated plan to revive Cleveland's core relies on retail -- including a collection of high-end outlet stores clustered around Public Square.

Outlets, often located in far-flung places near freeway ramps or in tourist meccas, might not seem like an instant fit for the former department stores and historic buildings that line Euclid Avenue.

But that's precisely what a retail consultant is pitching, as part of a broader scheme to move the corridor's renewal from the street to its storefronts.

Good news coming out of University Circle. Great to see them continuing to build up the area even in these tough economic times:

Crain's Cleveland Business: Dirt moving for two housing projects



Dirt moving for two housing projects
4:30 am, March 23, 2009


Without the fanfare of a groundbreaking, construction workers began clearing ground last week for Circle 118, a 17-unit townhome community at Euclid Avenue and East 118th Street in University Circle.

Developer Jim Wymer said he started work quietly because he’s “tired of seeing ceremonial shovels and nothing happens” for projects that did not come to fruition.

He also feels getting started will lend credibility with prospective buyers.

Look for the first units, costing upwards of $320,000, to be available in the fall.

Meantime, another project soon will ramp up nearby.

Andrew Brickman, developer of 27 Coltman in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood, said workers would start moving dirt on his condo project immediately after his ceremonial groundbreaking this Friday, March 27.

Have a link to the story?

Frankly, if you want more people to live downtown, it may not be a bad idea.
