Durham Warehouse District (Cleveland: apartments, houses, construction)

[CoachJuice]

What is considered to be the "Durham Warehouse District"? I have heard and read about it but do not know any specific details.

When I lived in Cleveland, the Warehouse District was a nicer part of the city with many restaurants, clubs, and bars. Is this anything similar?

I think there's a sign for the warehouse district just east of Duke st on Main. This is an area of old tobacco warehouses that are undergoing renovation--apartments mostly. Just west of this area is Brightleaf Square, which has some restaurants and shopping. I'm not sure is it's considered part of the warehouse district. I wouldn't exactly consider it a hub for nightlife.

I'd be interested to know what the long term plans are for this area--it's under serious construction at the moment...

The construction is called West Village - Phase 2, described more on this page from the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau:
