Commodore Place Preserves Historic Affordable Housing in Vibrant Cleveland Neighborhood

The renovation of Commodore Place Apartments provides 198 modern apartments, including 144 affordable units, in a vibrant neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio. Commodore Place had been a source of affordable housing in Cleveland’s University Circle neighborhood since 1964, but rising rents and gentrification threatened the building’s affordability. In 2015, the nonprofit The Community Builders purchased the property and fully renovated the building with improved sustainability and modernized units that preserved the historical design.
