Beacon apartment tower in downtown Cleveland gets second round of design OKs

Sept 16, 2016

A planned residential tower on Euclid Avenue won its second set of design approvals this week, taking another step toward a late-2016 construction start.

The Cleveland City Planning Commission gave a thumbs-up Friday to more fleshed-out images of the Beacon, a 19-floor apartment building that will sit above the existing 515 Euclid Ave. parking garage. On Thursday, a design-review committee dedicated to the downtown area also gave its nod to the project team's request for schematic approval.

Stark Enterprises aims to begin site work late this year or early next and to open the 187-unit apartment building in spring 2018.
