Cleveland Foundation HQ

The revitalization of MidTown is continuing to attract interest and businesses from all over Cleveland, with the Cleveland Foundation’s future headquarters at Euclid Ave and East 66th St another example of this.

Located on the grounds of the historic Dunham Tavern Museum, this future site is envisioned as not only the new HQ of one of Cleveland’s oldest and most trusted community organizations, but as the hub of a new mixed-use “Innovation District” between East 65th and East 66th St. This move also allows the Cleveland Foundation direct geographical proximity with the community and residents of Midtown, ensuring they can continue to serve the neighborhood in an even more direct and substantial manner.

MAGNET HQ

A dynamic repurposing of The Margaret Ireland School at East 63rd Street & Chester Avenue, MAGNET’s future HQ is a $10 million project that will create another highly collaborative, innovative, and inclusive economic development space in the MidTown neighborhood.

The future HQ is envisioned as a stunning redevelopment of the building, featuring a glass-framed, two-story manufacturing floor visible to pedestrians and motorists, and a 6,300 square foot classroom for students of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD).

MAGNET’s partnership with CMSD is particularly exciting, as it brings an important workforce development resource to MidTown via MAGNET’s Early College Early Career program. This program helps high school students develop high-demand skills in manufacturing through an apprenticeship.

The location of the building is also key, nestled between residential and commercial areas, and near the site of several current and future development projects. MAGNET’s HQ will be another vital piece of MidTown’s Innovation Community, a long-term project which seeks to further develop MidTown into an inclusive and collaborative neighborhood for residents, employers, and stakeholders alike.

Warner Swasey Redevelopment

Originally a telescope and machine parts factory that played a key part in the manufacturing effort during both World Wars, this historic five-story structure has been in a state of disuse since 1985, serving only as a spot for urban explorers and a reminder of MidTown's past as a manufacturing hub.

Enter Pennrose Properties. This Philadelphia-based company (which specializes in rehabbing historic buildings) is transforming this iconic brick building into a mixed-use hub of low-middle income housing and workforce support services. This gives this historic structure new life, preserves the historical character of the building, and offers another key resource for the residents of MidTown.
