New neighborhood is emerging downtown

CLEVELAND _ Starting Aug. 15, the first signs of construction will appear for a new neighborhood on the eastern edge of the downtown business district. City workers will begin installing sewer, water and gas lines for the Avenue District, a mix of loft condominiums, townhouses and street-level shops being developed by Zaremba Homes.

The first three phases, totaling up to 426 housing units and estimated to cost about $200 million, represents the largest condominium project in Ohio. Ground will be broken for the first phase, or block, this autumn with the first units available for occupancy in late-spring 2007, said Don Picciano, director of sales and marketing for Zaremba.

That first block will be at the northeast corner of Superior Avenue and East 13th Street. It will have 99 loft condos and 30 townhomes, including smaller studio lofts with more affordable prices. The average price of homes in the Avenue District will be about $300,000.
