College Club Apartments and Condominiums

Located in the inner ring suburb of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, the College Club of Cleveland, and carriage house building have been converted into 14 one-of-a-kind market rate rental units.  Designed in accordance with the Secretary Interior Standards for Rehabilitation, the property retains its original foyer and living room as community space.  Awarded $1.2 million in State historic tax credits, the project also generated an additional $1 million federal tax credit equity. Additional project financing included a conservation easement, $2.6 million in senior debt and $1 million in developer equity round out the financing.  13 for-sale townhouses were constructed and pre-sold on an adjacent parcel to complete the development plan.  They have been designed to complement the College Club building and surrounding property.  The project was completed in Spring 2021.
