Until now it was very rare to find a three-car garage offered with any new residential construction in the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood. Even if you didn’t own three big vehicles, the extra storage was coveted for bikes, motorcycles and stuff your adult kids left behind. But now there is The Vantage.
“All five units of The Vantage have attached three-car garages,” says Ted Theophylactos, president of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services’ Ted & Co. team, and a self-proclaimed “car guy” who is loving that idea. “All homes have three bedrooms, and four of these units are 2,200 square feet and one is 2,400 feet. The buyers of these homes need a little more square footage. Some will be empty-nesters coming from the suburbs, and they will have room here to put a college kid on the ground floor. Others will be those who lived in townhouses, but who want something a little different and bigger.”
All residences also feature outdoor space on the ground level. Theophylactos says he believes some residents prefer easy access from a living or dining area instead of a top-floor terrace.
“The Vantage is the right product for the times,” says Theophylactos, adding that unit prices are in the $700,000s and that this property still qualifies for the City of Cleveland’s former, full 15-year tax abatement.
Groundbreaking for The Vantage, located on Herman Avenue, is scheduled for summer 2024. Theophylactos describes the location as “a little more tucked away,” with “a mix of interesting retail and lakefront."
The Equinox
Theophylactos also is excited about The Equinox, a nine-unit complex that may be move-in ready at the end of 2024 or early 2025. It’s the perfect year for this property’s sophisticated “shadow, light and eclipse” design concepts. The Equinox reflects this year’s obsession with the total solar eclipse in Cleveland. Its location provides a balance of vibrant city living and the serenity of the lakefront, according to Theophylactos.
He also points to the property’s more affordable cost for such a desirable area. Units begin in the $470,000s, allowing a wider range of people to become part of the neighborhood’s fabric.
Edgewater South
When completed, Edgewater South, another property listed by Theophylactos, will have only three townhome units. But good things come in small packages. Located at the top of Edgewater Hill and W. 74 Street, this complex’s exterior uses brick, corrugated steel and geometric designs to complement the neighborhood, but has its own striking personality. Ground is expected to be broken in 2025.
Unit 1 will be 1,816 square feet and is listed at $569,000. Unit 2 is 2,140 square feet and is priced at $674,900. Unit 3 is 1,816 square feet and lists at $569,900.
Located two miles west of Downtown Cleveland, Detroit-Shoreway is home to more than 90 small businesses and 50-plus galleries and artisans. Gordon Square Arts District is a walkable adventure in the neighborhood’s center that includes unique cultural and dining opportunities. Highlights include: Capitol Theatre, an historic movie theater; Cleveland Public Theatre, a nationally recognized center for contemporary drama; Near West Theatre, a well-respected, community-based theater; and 78th Street Studios, a fascinating art and design complex with free gallery days.
And, as Theophylactos will tell you, residents of Detroit-Shoreway like to celebrate life. New residents won’t have to wait long for a unique festival or special neighborhood event to participate in and enjoy.
“I currently have 17 new homes being built in this neighborhood,” says Theophylactos. “And all the owners are going to be happy.”
