Rare downtown condo package offers historic charm in vibrant location: House of the Week

Updated: Jan. 10, 2025
By Joey Morona, cleveland.com


CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland is a growing apartment market. Rent Cafe says Cleveland is the second most sought-after city for renters on its site and reports the region will add 7,000 new apartments units by 2028.

That makes Howard Hanna broker Kristin Rogers’ downtown listing at the Cloak Factory an interesting residental and investment opportunity. Located at 635 W. Lakeside Ave. in the bustling Warehouse District, the collection includes five condominiums in the building: three two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units, with four of the five residences already leased. The properties are priced as a package at $899,900.

'Everyone is welcome.' Cleveland's new MLK Jr. library sits at the heart of a bigger project

The two-story branch in University Circle is scheduled to open Saturday, Jan. 25.

Posted 6:10 PM, Jan 20, 2025


CLEVELAND — Kimberly Hunter can’t wait to open the doors at the Cleveland Public Library’s new Martin Luther King Jr. campus, a project that’s been a decade in the making.

The two-story branch has 207 apartments upstairs, in a first-of-its-kind partnership between the library system and a private developer. It's a milestone in the library's push to renovate, expand or rebuild 27 neighborhood branches. And it’s a critical chapter of a much larger project called Circle Square, which is remaking two city blocks – and the skyline – on the rim of University Circle.

There's a New Frank Lloyd Wright House in Cleveland, and You Can Stay There

By Scene Staff on Thu, Feb 20, 2025


Construction recently finished on a new Frank Lloyd Wright house in Willoughby Hills, which is news not least of which because the famed architect died in 1959.

"RiverRock," as it's called, is something of a miracle, as well as a passion project, and the story of what the owners say is Wright's last residential home design is fascinating.
