Introduce yourself to Cleveland's newest, upscale mixed-use complex.

Coming soon: An eclectic mix of businesses, restaurants and entertainment venues. An inviting central public gathering place. Dramatic panoramas. A riverfront boardwalk.

That’s just a glimpse into the dynamic new vision unfolding as part of the $275 million first phase of the Flats Eat Bank development -- a joint venture between The Wolstein Group and Fairmount Properties -- that is bringing Cleveland’s riverfront back to life. As part of Phase One.

The highly anticipated development overlooks the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie, boasting dramatic water views and cityscapes. Easily accessible from Hopkins International Airport via Rapid Transit and just minutes from many downtown attractions including the Warehouse District, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the East 4th Street entertainment district, Playhouse Square and several major sporting venues.

Flats East Bank Phase 1 is expected to open in Spring 2013:

Explore nearly 24 acres of vibrant development
Work up a sweat at the state-of-the-art fitness center
Meet friends for lunch or dinner at your choice of restaurant options offering a wide range of cuisine
Relax outdoors in a beautifully landscaped 10-acre public park or mingle at planned street fairs, art festivals, farmers’ markets or concerts
Stroll along the 1,200 foot boardwalk on the river’s edge, lounge or play sand volleyball on a three-acre beach
Dance or listen to live music at upscale nightclubs.
Walk to nearby venues downtown

Phase 1 also includes an 18-story office tower with breathtaking waterfront and skyline views featuring 450,000 square feet of office space – home to tenants including Ernst & Young and Tucker, Ellis & West. The office tower and entire project will be built to LEED standards, featuring environmentally conscious design and construction. A Starwood Aloft boutique hotel will offer style at a steal with 150 spacious, loft-like rooms, a tech-forward sensibility, and a vibrant, social atmosphere. The hotel will provide access to nearly 3,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, perfect for business meetings and social gatherings.

Phase 2 is expected to include residential units and additional retail choices including local apparel, home furnishings, specialty shops and boutiques.
