Signs of Progress on Downtown Cleveland Townhomes

The street signs are up at Site 3 of The Avenue District, where townhome buyers began moving in last month.

Located at Rockwell Avenue and the newly created E. 15th Street, Building One includes 10 townhomes, complete with parking garages and rooftop patios.



Foundation work continues on Building Two at Site 3, which includes 10 additional townhomes adjacent to the west of Building One.

Thirty townhomes are planned for Phase 1 of the walkable neighborhood, with floor plans ranging from 1,800 – 2,100 square feet.

Straight to the Top: Penthouse Work to Begin

As construction will soon surpass the eighth floor of The Avenue District Building 1 at 1211 St. Clair Avenue, attention now turns toward the two-floor penthouse level.

Building designers and architects frequently design penthouses with “setbacks,” to create large outdoor terraces that allow for significantly larger and spaces than cantilevered balconies (see rendering below).

With units ranging from $787,000 to $1.1 million, penthouse residents will reach the height of luxury in downtown Cleveland living, with city and lake views, and spacious floor plans.

Each unit will feature a large outdoor terrace and have access to central greenspace for resident use. The interior will feature one of five floor plan options, ranging from 1,870 square feet to 2,700 square feet. Visit The Avenue District Website for further details.
