A transit-oriented development (TOD) plan for the Red Line rail station at Euclid Avenue and East 120th Street will be completed in 2008. The station location will be moved.

To help fund the design effort, RTA is working with the Cleveland Foundation, the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA), Little Italy and Case Western Reserve University.

Proposed development in the surrounding area would include:

• two buildings (one five-story, one seven-story) featuring first floor retail and nine floors of apartments
• retail use of approximately 24,000 square feet dedicated to convenience-oriented uses such as small grocer, dry cleaner, restaurants, etc.
• apartments in Building One (four floors, 48 units) designated to temporary corporate (institutional) housing. CWRU, UH, CCF or other institutions and businesses would be candidates to lease an entire floor or two.
• each floor would contain 12 units – averaging 1,000 square feet per unit
• apartments in Building Two (five floors, 72 units) would be designated for market rate apartments, with the future opportunity for these to convert to condo
• the institutions would be able to offer their visiting professionals a place to stay on a short-term basis at the designated corporate housing area; a separate key card to create exclusivity would access these floors

• the medical resident group and their families would look to this project as a place to rent for their 3 +/- year stint in Cleveland, rather than searching for housing in other areas
• the first floor would feature convenience-oriented retail for the residents as well as the 30,000+ employees of University Circle parking nearby or walking by
• the building should offer services to distinguish it from other building and service the residents – concierge for dry cleaning, car wash, theater tickets, dinner reservations, etc.
• incentives would be limited to new markets tax credits and tax abatement
