Owner-developer Rakefet Landes bought the foreclosed, vacant property at a sheriff's sale in 2018 and has been working since then to rehab the apartment building.
The Ohio City development was originally proposed for three units in front and four units behind. After feedback from the Cleveland Landmarks Commission, the developer reduced the number of units.
The city of Cleveland has filed a nuisance lawsuit against the out-of-state owners of three Shaker Boulevard apartments with significant heating, plumbing, and other problems.
The apartment building, which is located on W. 22nd St. in Ohio City, overlooks the Cuyahoga River.
The proposed addition will include an outdoor "harbor walkway" and a 50,000-square-foot addition which will include a concert venue, a main entrance lobby, and office space.
The mini-pitches, which will be lit at night, will replace underused outdoor spaces at the Lonnie Burten and Halloran recreation centers.
The sculpture project, which is being spearheaded by the Cleveland Cavaliers, will commemorate a meeting about Muhammad Ali's refusal to serve in the Vietnam War.
Last year, the city of Cleveland invested $500,000 in improvements to the park on W. 38th St. in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood. Now, community members are looking to do more.
A major construction project is also planned for CMSD's Joseph M. Gallagher School in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood.
After the property went into receivership under its prior owner, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and Burten Bell Carr Inc. are investing millions to "stabilize" the property.
