Year in review:

• Key highlights include … 
  • In the office market, tenants continue to favor smaller, high-quality spaces. 
  • Cleveland’s national leadership in building conversions will help right size the commercial real estate market.  
  • Hospitality continues to rise with peak occupancy rates of 70% in hotels and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport at 86% of pre-pandemic traffic.

Clean and Safe Team Readies for Spring and Increased Outdoor Events 

• We are headed into the spring season fully staffed, with the warm weather comes increased pedestrian activity and events 
  • Our services are crucial with increased foot traffic, more trash, increased need for safety escorts and overall demand for our clean and safe team 
  • To keep the core clean and attractive we will be resuming pressure washing sidewalks 
• Also resuming is downtown greenery season 
  • This includes laying dirt, planting flowers, and continued maintenance throughout the season 

 

Lakefront Leagues 

• Lakefront Leagues at North Coast Harbor are returning! 
• Once again, DCA has teamed up with Hermes to provide the recreational leagues you’ve come to enjoy summer after summer. 
• Sign-ups are open now for volleyball and kickball!
