While the Sherwin-Williams headquarters and research center are the biggest, most expensive developments completed in Greater Cleveland in 2025, plenty of others carry impact. These three recent projects showcased major investments not only in real estate but also in the communities they serve.

CentroVilla25

Set in a 32,000-square-foot warehouse renovated for $14 million, CentroVilla25 on 3140 W. 25th St. is an authentic Latin mercado in Cleveland’s growing La Villa Hispana neighborhood. This is a launch platform where entrepreneurs, often first-generation immigrants, can energize their small businesses, realize their dreams and help Cleveland grow, too. cv25.org

MidTown Collaboration Center

Another launch platform opened in 2025, this time at 1974 E. 66th St. The 100,000-square-foot, $32 million center was built by the Cleveland Foundation next to its HQ on Euclid Avenue. It’s a wonderfully busy mix of people, tenants and disciplines – art, software, food, business, education, social and health services. clevelandfoundation.org

Skyline On Stokes

This seven-story apartment building at 2132 Stokes Blvd. in University Circle is smaller than its 22-story Downtown brother, Skyline 776. But it’s the first one built under Cleveland’s transit demand strategies that let developers trade some costly parking spaces for high scores in bike parking, access to public transit and walkability. skylineonstokes.com
