The Plain Dealer recently ran an article about the Loft Homes project in Cleveland’s St. Clair- Superior neighborhood.
St. Clair Superior Development Corporation and the Cuyahoga County Land Bank have teamed up to convert some of the neighborhood’s vacant homes into “Loft Homes” — with open floor plans to replace outdated ones and appeal to people interested in modern living.
The open floor plan requires less electrical, heating and duct work as well as far fewer materials for flooring and other interior needs than a conventional renovation. As a result, a Loft Home can be done for about the same cost as a demolition — about $10,000 to $15,000.
I’m impressed with this innovative way to breathe new life into the neighborhood and put vacant homes back into productive use. Check out The Plain Dealer article to learn more.
