Cosm was planned for Haslam’s Brook Park site

In a rendering that’s been circulating publicly for months, showing the planned,
enclosed Huntington Bank Field in Brook Park, closer inspection reveals that a
Cosm venue was planned for the mixed-use district adjacent to it. Cosm was con-
sidering it seriously enough to allow its logo to be used in this official rendering.
But Cosm ended up locating in Downtown Cleveland (HKS).

This could be a battle to watch in the coming years — a battle of the billionaires and their venues for Northeast Ohio’s entertainment dollars. And in the latest round, the win goes to Dan Gilbert, David Blitzer and Downtown Cleveland for securing the fifth US location of Cosm, an immersive technology sports and entertainment attraction. But it almost went to suburban Brook Park.

Warehouse District megaproject site offered

With the Rockefeller Building hitting the market at the same as the neighboring
Warehouse District parking lots owned by Stark Enterprises, it makes the larger
site more attractive to out-of-market investors. This rendering of the Rockefeller
Building and a conceptual neighboring tower on West Superior Avenue is part
of  the marketing (Leopardo-Heart). CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE THEM.

It’s not often that a 4.2-acre canvas in the heart of a busy central business district can be marketed to investors. But that’s what a swath of property in Downtown Cleveland’s Warehouse District can offer now that the Rockefeller Building is back on the market. And the larger property offering allows the Rockefeller to potentially be sold at a discount.

this scenario has a down side, just as every loser has an upside (HKS).

There are winners and there are losers in the Haslam Sports Group’s effort to build a new, enclosed stadium in suburban Brook Park. But it is worth noting that all of the winners have lost something just as all of the losers have won something. And there are variables to this equation that will remain unknown until the future and those who choose to shape it reveal them.

Cleveland wins WNBA team, new downtown activity

Rocket Arena is going to be active year-round thanks to Cleveland winning a WNBA
women’s basketball pro franchise. It might even help Downtown Cleveland businesses
offset some of the loss of the Cleveland Browns leaving downtown for suburban
Brook Park (Google). CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE THEM.

Starting in May 2028, Cleveland’s new Womens National Basketball Association (WNBA) team will begin playing in Downtown Cleveland at Rocket Arena. The expansion team will play half of its 44-game schedule at home and, if attendance is at least near the league-wide average, will help soften the impact of the Cleveland Browns football team moving from downtown to suburban Brook Park the following year.
