Flats

The Flats boarder both banks of the Cuyahoga River, where the city's founder Moses Cleaveland first landed in 1796. While the Flats were originally an industrial district focused on maximizing Great Lakes shipping routes, they have become more associated with entertainment and residential living in the past 10 years.

On the west bank, the large residential development Stonebridge already has hundreds of residents, and is looking to expand into several new phases over the next couple years. In addition, a new state-of-the-art aquarium is under construction inside the Powerhouse, part of the Nautica Entertainment Complex. On the east bank of the Flats, one of the city's most ambitious developments has broken ground and is transforming the east bank into a thriving mixed-use development.
