Cleveland Technology District
Cleveland Tomorrow

This project involves development of a Technology District Master Plan for Cleveland Tomorrow, an organization working towards the revitalization of midtown Cleveland. Beginning as a potential development for biotechnology enterprise, van Dijk Pace Westlake encouraged the organization to expand the master plan to focus on an area now bordered by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation on the west, Case Western Reserve University on the East, the Fairfax neighborhood on the south, and University Circle on the north.

The goal of the master plan is to tie together these four districts proposing clarification of roads, and developing the area into more of a pedestrian-friendly environment. Tying in closely with the 1990 Civic Vision 2000 plan, the master plan vision is to develop technology-based businesses and reinvigorate the neighborhood in midtown and adjacent areas.

Ultimately, this revitalization and development will improve business in adjoining neighborhoods, as well as upgrade infrastructure and amenities.
