Bedrock’s big riverfront project is active

Although a bit cartoonish, this conceptual imagery of the first phase of
Bedrock’s Tower City riverfront development appears to be higher

tower with a heavy emphasis on offices for Rocket Mortgage would
rise across Huron Road from Sherwin-Williams old headquarters
which is also the subject of private acquisition talks. This image was
extracted from a video regarding big urban core projects that are in
the works (GCP). CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE THEM

There is increasing evidence that Bedrock Real Estate is advancing more quickly in developing its downtown Cleveland riverfront development vision despite earlier information that it would take a longer-term approach there. There simply is more visible activity happening here compared to a site in the Gateway District where real estate investments were reportedly in planning but now appear on the back burner.

High-rise planned near Edgewater Park

This is a massing — a simplified representation of a structure to convey
its scale — of a proposed 10-story apartment building overlooking the
West Shoreway and Edgewater Park. It is the third apartment building

Seldom does a Cleveland development site offer such a remote, wooded lot and yet have so many urban amenities nearby. The features of that site, including it being next to a revived Clark Field, are why it is reportedly attracting a mid-size apartment building. Indeed, numerous mid-sized apartment buildings are being proposed for different parts of Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood.
