The rebirth of the east bank of the Flats has begun in downtown Cleveland.
In December 2010, construction started on the $275 million phase 1 of this mixed-use waterfront neighborhood.
Located where the Cuyahoga River meets Lake Erie, Flats East Bank will at once offer a vibrancy and calming, unobstructed views of the water. There has long been a clamor and call to make Cleveland’s waterfront more accessible, to tastefully and respectfully integrate it with quality and a unique touch. Flats East Bank will be all of that and so much more.
The first phase will include an 18-floor state-of-the-art office building offering unparalleled, panoramic views of the water and downtown. This initial phase will also feature a 150-room high-tech boutique hotel, a variety of restaurants and entertainment offerings and plenty of green space.
A model of environmentally-conscious design and construction, Flats East Bank will be one of the first LEED-certified green neighborhoods in the country. The centerpiece of this distinctive, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood will be its imaginative public spaces and 1,200-foot boardwalk along the river.
With more than 1,000 parking spaces and its proximity to a light rail line that is already in place, Flats East Bank will be easily accessible to Greater Cleveland residents and visitors, and will connect to downtown’s major attractions, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and suburban destinations.
