Inside The New High-Rise That’s Changing University Circle

Two years after breaking ground, Cleveland's newest high-rise apartment building is welcoming its first residents. One University Circle features impressive city views, deluxe amenities, and a convenient location in the heart of Cleveland’s education, medical and cultural hub. Developers hope their $116 million investment will attract young professionals and empty nesters and set new standard for urban living in Cleveland. Leaders of University Circle Inc. view the project as an affirmation of their efforts to create a true neighborhood – and  a catalyst to spread the Circle’s success to nearby less affluent communities. Joe Frolik, ideastream’s managing producer of community affairs, takes a look at the high-rise and how it fits into the larger story of University Circle’s evolution.
