 Panorama of Cleveland in 1909
 Downtown Cleveland in 2006 Downtown Cleveland is the central business district of the City of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. Reinvestment in the area in the mid-1990s spurred a rebirth that continues to this day, with over $2 billion in capital projects slated to involve the downtown area over the next few years. While Cleveland has experienced much residential emigration from the city to its surrounding suburbs, Downtown Cleveland is currently one of the city's neighborhoods that is gaining population. Cleveland's downtown population grew from 7,261 in 1990 to 9,599 as of the 2000 Census, and was recently rated by the Brookings Institution as one of America's "Emerging Downtowns", due to its 32.2% growth rate over this period.[1] There are several new developments, both residential and commercial, planned for downtown.

Public Square -
The heart of downtown and first settled area, Public Square was laid out by the city's founder, Moses Cleaveland before leaving in 1796 and has remained largely unchanged since that time. It consists of a large open space, cut into four quadrants by Ontario Street and Superior Avenue. Public Square is the symbolic heart of the city, and has hosted presidents, vast congregations of people, and recently, a free annual 4th of July concert by the Cleveland Orchestra. At one time Public Square was fenced off and inaccessible to vehicles. Public Square hosted the Perry Monument early in its history, which was a memorial to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's victory in the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812. The monument was dedicated in 1860, and placed in the center of Public Square. In 1892 it was moved out of the square, which by then had the fences removed after lobbying by commercial interests. Public Square is also home to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, which commemorates residents of Cuyahoga County who served in the Civil War. In addition the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Public Square is home to a statue of Moses Cleaveland, founder of the city, a statue of Tom L. Johnson, the city's most famous mayor, a large amount of shrubbery and other landscaping, as well as a large public fountain. In the United States, a town square is an area in the middle of a traditional town consisting of a park or plaza and surrounded by small shops. ...

 Superior Avenue near Public Square. Notable buildings in public square include the Terminal Tower, home to Tower City Center, 200 Public Square - the former BP Building (renamed in 2005), as well as Key Tower, the tallest building in Ohio and one of the tallest in the United States. Public Square is also home to the historic Old Stone Church, completed in 1855. The west side of Public Square was slated to become the headquarters of the Cleveland Trust Company, then called Ameritrust, but the project was cancelled after Ameritrust was purchased and merged into Key Bank, leaving that side of the square open to this day, with only a surface parking lot on the site. The region is currently debating the best use of Public Square, and several residents and organizations have called for the square to be closed to traffic during non-peak hours of the weekday. Plans floated for a square redesign include an ice skating rink, amphitheatre, farmer's market, restaurant with outdoor seating, and other ideas, all of which are designed to draw people to the square as a gathering place.

Historic Warehouse District -
 West 6th Street in the Historic Warehouse District Cleveland's first neighborhood, the Warehouse District, was originally a residential area, then changed to become a warehousing and shipping neighborhood, and has in recent times morphed into an entertainment, dining, and downtown living hub. The Warehouse District is the largest downtown neighborhood by population, and continues to grow with a vast assortment of shops, clubs, bars, and loft condos/apartments. This most recent transformation from empty, run-down warehouses to hip, happening clubs and restaurants is only the latest in a long life cycle for the historic area. It was announced at the end of 2005 that local developer Robert L. Stark, of Stark Enterprises, is planning a $1 billion redevelopment of what are currently surface parking lots in the Warehouse District, adding retail, office, housing, and structured parking in a series of buildings from the lakefront to Public Square, see "Stark Project" below. Now a hot night spot for twenty-somethings and urban professionals, Cleveland’s Warehouse District was once in serious disrepair after the businesses of its namesake had moved on. ...

Financial District Cleveland's financial district consists of the areas around East 9th street, with a dense conglomeration of banks in the area. The district is home to the Fortune 500 headquarters of Eaton Corporation and National City Bank. Additionally, the headquarters of global and national law firms, including Jones Day and Baker and Hostetler, are headquartered in the financial district. The forty-story Erieview Tower, part of the largely unbuilt Erieview Urban Renewal Project of the 1960s, is also located in the district with its attached mall, The Galleria, which was added to the Tower in the 1980s. Another landmark skyscraper, the "silver chisel" One Cleveland Center is located in this district as well. The Plain Dealer, Cleveland's major daily newspaper, is headquartered here, and WKYC, the local NBC affiliate, recently built a new digital broadcast center on Lakeside Avenue on the northern end of the district. Other stations headquartered here include WOIO, the CBS affiliate, and WUAB, the UPN affiliate. There is a large cluster of high-rise downtown housing in this area, largely concentrated in the East 12th Street area, with an addition, "The Avenue District" (see below), set to begin construction in 2006. The Financial District also serves as home to Cleveland's Catholic Cathedral, St. John Cathedral, the seat of its Catholic Diocese. A notable building in this area that currently sits vacant is the former Cleveland Trust Rotunda and Ameritrust Tower, which served as headquarters of The Cleveland Trust Company and its successor, Ameritrust, until its acquisition by Key Bank. The rotunda features a large stained glass window on its ceiling, and was recently purchased by Cuyahoga County, which is planning to reuse it as the centerpiece of the county's new administration center.

North Coast District -
 North Coast Harbor and the Rock Hall. Home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Great Lakes Science Center, Cleveland Browns Stadium, Steamship William G. Mather Maritime Museum and the USS Cod, North Coast Harbor is the tourist district of downtown Cleveland. The North Coast District is home to the city's port at present time, although there are long term plans in place to move the port west of the river and open up the area for housing and lakefront development. North Coast is also the former home of the infamous Cleveland Stadium, better known to some as the "Mistake on the Lake". Cleveland Stadium was torn down after the former Cleveland Browns franchise left the city in 1995, and was replaced with Cleveland Browns Stadium, which serves as the home of the reborn NFL football franchise. Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport is located east of the Rock Hall, and serves as a commuter and business airport that reduces small aircraft traffic at the larger Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, located southwest of downtown. The district fronts Lake Erie on the north and also includes Voinovich Park and a fishing pier. Future plans for the city's lakefront include adding thousands of housing units, retail shops, a marina, and other amenities to North Coast Harbor, see "Lakefront Plan" below. North Coast Harbor is a district in downtown Cleveland, Ohio on the shore of Lake Erie. ...

Quadrangle District The Quadrangle District is home to Cleveland State University, the city's large public university. Cleveland State has in past years been derided as an open enrollment commuter school, but has recently moved to dispel that belief. The university is progressing through a master plan[2] to raise standards, enrollment, and rebuild its fortress-like campus. CSU plans to build a college town adjacent to downtown, including new retail, restaurants and housing to serve an increase of resident students planned to be in the thousands. The university's desire to attract more traditional college students and begin to raise its stature as a research university figure into these plans a great deal, and CSU opened its second residence hall, a complete retrofit of Fenn Tower, in the fall of 2006. Over the past decade, CSU has partnered with the city and other area stakeholders to transfer technology research into startup companies and enterprises, improving the economy of the area and stimulating downtown life in the Quadrangle. As part of CSU, the Wolstein Center, formerly the CSU Convocation Center, is located in the Quadrangle District, and serves as the home of CSU Men's Basketball and various concerts and special events throughout the year.

Flats District -
Once the most popular nightlife district in Ohio, The Flats have recently fallen on hard times. Though there is no one reason for the decay, a series of incidents have garnered a reputation for unruly behavior. The Flats crowd migrated east to the Warehouse and the Gateway Districts as trendy and more upscale venues have emerged. The west bank of the flats, home to numerous restaurants, bars, and new housing continues to thrive, and is the site of a large urban apartment/condo complex known as Stonebridge. A local developer, Scott Wolstein of Developers Diversified Realty Inc, recently proposed demolishing the structures on the east bank and replacing them with a new mixed-use neighborhood. Demolition work is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2006, and the flats will be reborn once again as a residential neighborhood. The Flats were the place Moses Cleaveland first landed when he founded the city, and thus the area is reclaiming its past heritage as a residential area. In addition to the East Bank development, there have been plans floated for the Irishtown Bend area, in addition to more housing on the west bank in the area near the Powerhouse entertainment complex, currently a large surface parking lot. The Flats is a mixed-use industrial, entertainment, and increasingly residential area of Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The area was given its name due to its mostly flat appearance and is defined as being the lower lying areas that line the banks of the Cuyahoga River. ...

New Developments and Projects
Euclid Corridor
 A rendering of the Euclid Corridor project as it will look when completed. One of the city's major projects, the Euclid Corridor Transportation Project will connect downtown Cleveland through Midtown Cleveland with University Circle, by introducing bus rapid transit (BRT). The project is a total reconstruction of Euclid Avenue from Public Square to beyond University Circle, located approximately 4 miles east of downtown, and will include bus-only lanes with center-median station boarding, priority signaling, and fast commute times. In addition to transit and road improvements, the transportation project will also invest heavily in the streetscape of Euclid Avenue, rebuilding the street from storefront to storefront, removing old vaults and streetcar tracks, and building new sidewalks, lighting and landscaping. The project includes a large public arts component, with different areas of the Euclid Corridor route being addressed by local and national artists. The project expects to spur investments in residential, retail, office, and mixed-use redevelopments, including over 4,000 residential units along the corridor. Construction of the $200 million dollar project has begun, with full bus/rapid service slated for 2008. Image File history File links Euclidrender. ...

Flats East Bank
 A rendering of The Flats East Bank Neighborhood. The long-suffering entertainment district on the east bank of the Flats is planned to be reborn in a proposal put forth by Scott Wolstein of Developers Diversified Realty, Inc. Wolstein's plans include a complete demolition of the current east bank, realignment of Old River Road, and the construction of hundreds of apartments, townhouses, and retail over parking, connections to the RTA Waterfront Line, and a new office building that is being pitched as the new home for the local Defense Finance and Accounting Service office, scheduled to add over 500 jobs in Cleveland over the next two years. The development will also include a boardwalk and marina, and is part of a larger plan to develop the lakefront and river shores of downtown that has included a large number of apartments built on the west bank of the flats, in an area called Stonebridge. The east bank redevelopment plan is working its way through city council and the planning commission approval process and is scheduled to begin sewer work in 2006. Current East Bank property owners will be offered an appraised amount for their property, with the owners who refuse to sell subject to eminent domain proceedings by right of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority. Wolstein expects the development to be ready for residence by late 2008 or early 2009, with the office building on-site ready for occupancy by 2007. Image File history File links EastBankProject. ...

 A rendering of the Avenue District by the development company. Cleveland is also slated to add to its higher income downtown housing with the Avenue District.[3] Located immediately east of Erieview Tower on the site of several parking lots on East 12th Street, the development is slated to include over 400 condominiums, including lofts, townhomes, penthouses, street-level retail, garage parking, and pedestrian friendly sidewalks and streets. The developer is touting this as downtown's new upscale, quiet neighborhood with easy access to the attractions and amenities of downtown. The development is a project of Zaremba, Inc., and construction has begun as of Fall 2006, with plans to open the buildings in 2007 and 2008. The Avenue District will be built in phases, with future surface lot development based on market demand.

Lakefront
 Lakefront Plan Rendering. The Cleveland City Planning Commission recently completed plans for a lakefront revitalization to stimulate national interest in the City of Cleveland as an exciting place to live. These include thousands of housing units, retail shops, public parks, connections to the light rail waterfront line, an 18 hole golf course, office buildings, a boardwalk, and other amenities. Cleveland's current industrially-oriented lakefront is slated to become a thing of the past, and a new, public-minded and recreational lakefront will rise in its place. The chief roadblock to the implementation of this plan is the relocation of the Port of Cleveland to an area west of the river, as well as converting of Ohio Route 2, better known as the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway to a low-speed, at-grade boulevard. The Shoreway is currently an expressway that currently blocks downtown from the lakefront, separating lakefront developments and reducing pedestrian access. The boulevard will enable substantially more intersections with north-south streets stretching from Edgewater Park at the city's western border through downtown and east to Gordon Park.

Convention Center Cleveland is working on a long term replacement for its outdated and dilapidated convention center, currently located underground beneath Mall B, a grassy open space stretching from North Coast Harbor through the Civic Center District. Plans vary from replacing the current center beneath the mall to construction of an addition to Forest City-owned Tower City Center. Recent cost projections have put the underground site at an estimated cost of over $500 million dollars, which is well over what the city and county wish to pay. Forest City, who had withdrawn its Tower City site from consideration, has recently proposed that the location be reconsidered. The site is considered a front runner as it would cost around $350 million to expand a convention center onto it, a figure closer to the city/county budget. Public Auditorium (sometimes called Public Hall) is located in the central business district of downtown Cleveland, Ohio. ...

Stark Enterprises Project
 Architect's rendering of Warehouse District development. Robert Stark, of Robert Stark Enterprises, spoke of assembling a coalition of developers to redevelop large areas of downtown and to inject a large number of residents, workers, and retail into the long-languishing district. He identified an area that he coined the "Y" of Downtown Cleveland. The bottom of the Y is Forest City-owned Scranton Peninsula. The upper right of the Y reaches along Euclid Avenue, where revitalization is already under way via the Euclid Corridor Transportation Project, and the other arm of the Y is the Historic Warehouse District, currently choked by a surplus of surface parking lots. Stark plans to build on the 21 acres (8.5 hectares) of surface parking lots that have prevented the area from becoming a true urban neighborhood. On the largest area of parking, measuring 8 acres (3.2 hectares) within the block bounded by Superior Avenue, West 3rd Street, St. Clair Avenue and West 6th Street, Stark will build phase one of his development. Phase I will be a $1 billion multi-building, mixed-use development of retail, offices, housing, and structured parking. Stark has plans to open the development by 2008. On May 18th, 2006, Stark announced that he has secured the majority of land needed for the project and is working to secure retailer interest in the project. The next phase of the plan includes extending the downtown street grid from the Warehouse District to the lakefront, developing a large section of waterfront land currently in use by the Port of Cleveland.

Others 515 Euclid Avenue, a parking garage that recently opened, is slated to become a 28+ story condominium tower. Tower City Center continues to attract downtown shoppers, and Forest City Enterprises says they are waiting for the downtown housing market to mature before it plans housing developments on its Scranton Peninsula, across the Cuyahoga River from Tower City. Additional developers have floated ideas for developing the peninsula and areas surrounding the Flats with housing as well; in particular, local developer John Ferchill has announced plans to build housing along the river's edge at Scranton. The project will represent Ferchill's first project in Cleveland in many years, as he refused to work with previous Mayor Michael R. White. Riverview Hope, a project in Ohio City, will introduce hundreds of market rate housing units integrated with public housing along the river. Stonebridge, a new apartment and condominium development in the west bank of the Flats, is adding a new building and restaurant to its offerings, and the project's developer has stated his intentions to fully build out the west bank of the Flats when finished. Quicken Loans, owned by Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, has announced plans to open a large online loan center downtown near the arena. New housing condo/apartment projects are frequently announced, and Cleveland is projected to increase its downtown population to over 20,000 by 2010.
