 The Park Building - Cleveland, Ohio (Photo by Ruggero Fatica) Urban Elegance By John Elliott Cleveland’s downtown revival hit a milestone recently with the renovation of one of Public Square’s oldest buildings, the Park Building, now a luxury condominium that preserves the city’s historic design elegance with modern amenities. Not only does the $12 million renovation preserve the city’s history by restoring some of its most prestigious architecture, but the nine-story building on the southeast quadrant of the square also brings Public Square its first residential space in more than a century. The landmark features stunning town homes with large “window walls” and balconies with inspiring views that take in Public Square, Lake Erie and the entirety of Cleveland’s downtown. Owner/developer Howells and Howells Enterprises LLC of Cleveland intended to maintain the building’s historic integrity and charm, and because the building was constructed with ahead-of-its-time materials and workmanship when it was built in 1904, it retains a great deal of its original materials, details and character. The building consists of steel/concrete construction. The building offers an ideal residence for anyone who appreciates urban history, historic architecture and modern amenities – at bargain prices compared to other big U.S. cities. The suites start at less than $300,000 and go all the way to more than $1 million for the penthouses, considerably lower than similar buildings in other metropolitan downtowns. The building features a bronze and granite exterior facing Euclid Avenue, large bay windows on the second and third floors, oak trim throughout, and high ceilings. Due to the number of large windows, the interiors are especially bright with natural light. Every unit has a splendid view of Public Square, including the historic Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument which faces the building on Euclid Avenue.
