Cleveland has a beautiful old core that has so much underutilized potential. Hell, its criminally underutilized. Projects like this, if they provide a lively pedestrian presence, will give Cleveland a big leg up to reach that potential.

totally agree.

luckily, i think the one thing this project has the least to worry about is street presence. the developer is a life style mall guy:

unfortunately, its just like typical cleveland luck to be on the cusp of a true booming by any measure development scene when a corona virus pandemic hits.
