CLEVELAND, Ohio - Groundbreaking was held Thursday for The Lumen at Playhouse Square, a 34-story, 318-unit apartment building.
This Playhouse Square rising star is expected to make its grand entrance in the summer of 2020, according to officials for the nation's second largest performing arts center after Broadway. The 602,000-square-foot apartment building, which will stand 396 feet, is the focal point of the what Playhouse Square officials say is the largest residential project in downtown Cleveland in 40 years.
Playhouse Square District officials said the building's name was chosen "to reflect the energy surrounding Playhouse Square," the important role light plays in theater as well as to pay tribute to another Playhouse Square star: the GE Chandelier. The one-acre site at the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 17th Street will also include 528 parking spaces.
