The engineering experts at The C.W. Courtney Company have been busy providing services to extend the Battery Park housing development into the vacant property between West 73rd and West 76th Streets, north of Herman Avenue in Cleveland’s Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood. We partnered with Vintage Development Group to design the public infrastructure and other crucial elements in the development’s Master Plan.
The project involved extending the grid of the existing neighborhood to West 76th Street on the east and West 73rd Street on the west. Our engineers designed the infrastructure, which was completed back in 2006. The housing development is still under construction, but it has an extensive and advanced foundation to build upon. The infrastructure has been equipped with approximately 1,500 feet of sanitary main and appurtenances, 2,400 feet of water main and appurtenances, about 4,700 feet of storm/combination sewer lines of various sizes, and both gas and electric as well as other utilities.
The Battery Park site is home to the brand new Edgewater luxury townhome community. The Edgewater townhomes were designed to be stylish and contemporary, with upscale features and amenities that include granite countertops, bamboo floors, stainless steel appliances, and outdoor entertaining spaces. Many of the homes offer postcard-worthy views of Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline.
The development is located at the former Eveready battery factory site above Edgewater Park. Home buyers have been drawn to the area for its accessibility to the downtown and University Circle areas and walking-distance proximity to the Gordon Square Arts District and countless local shops, restaurants, and bars. The location is also ideal for families who love the outdoors, as residents enjoy access to the pedestrian and bike tunnels to Edgewater Park and Lake Erie Beach.
Buyers who purchase a home at Battery Park will benefit from the 15 year tax abatement for new townhome and loft residences, so if you’re looking for a home in the Cleveland area, check out the Battery Park development. We’re proud to be part of such a great community project!
