Transformed, an Historic Building on Public Square Nears Completion


The Park Building, located on Public Square, is a downtown Cleveland success story. This building, which is nearing completion, has flourished despite the challenges of today’s housing market. Nearly two-thirds of the twenty-seven planned condominiums are under contract.

This building, constructed by the Swetland family in 1904 and once considered “downtown’s most valuable acre,” is a piece of Cleveland history. Lovingly cared for by its owners for more than a century, the Park Building housed office tenants until several years ago, when it was purchased for adaptive re-use. The building contains historic details that would be difficult to replicate, including a restored marble lobby, oak molding and trim, and bay windows that look out over Public Square and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.

Due to the plethora of windows in the building, which fills it with natural light, the Park Building is a natural fit for a condominium conversion. Stunning views are available from every floor. Offering one, two and three bedroom condominiums, the condo units feature original, refinished maple floors, luxurious standards, and many preserved historic details. Units are nearing completion, and the first residents to live on Public Square in many decades are expected to move into their new homes soon.

You are invited to help us celebrate the Grand Opening of the Euclid Corridor project and the Healthline – and the near-complete renovation of the Park Building – this weekend. A ribbon cutting for the Euclid Corridor will take place on Friday and a Scavenger Hunt on Saturday (the Park Building is one of the stops). We hope to see you there!
