CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH, 05/5/2020 - The City of Cleveland Heights has taken the final step in preparation for the construction of the Top of the Hill project, a catalytic development at the gateway to Cleveland Heights.

"It represents a major new investment and positions the City for additional growth and development in the future."

The Top of the Hill is expected to include 261 market-rate luxury apartments, over 11,000 square feet of first floor commercial/retail/restaurant space, close to 25,000 square feet of green space, and a structured parking garage resulting in approximately 550 parking spaces.
