Legacy at Saint Luke's Pointe, Phase II RFP
I. Introduction
New Village Corporation (NVC), a wholly-owned
not-for-profit development subsidiary of Cleveland
Neighborhood Progress, is seeking proposals
from multidisciplinary design and development
teams interested in either Master Developing or CoDeveloping 7.1 acres of undeveloped land immediately
North of the revitalized Saint Luke’s Pointe campus
in the Buckeye community of Cleveland, Ohio. The
development area is part of an 81-unit Planned Unit
Development that originally commenced in 2006 but
stalled with the residential market crash of 2008.
To date, 25 of the 81 units have been built. Having
recently completed an award-winning $63 million
adaptive reuse of the historic Saint Luke’s Hospital
into a mixed use project on adjacent land, NVC is
eager to reconsider the master plan, development
program, and housing typologies for the area on the
North side of East Boulevard.
II. Site History & Amenities
Since 1988, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress has
played a central role in the economic recovery of the
City’s preeminent urban neighborhoods. New Village
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent,
was formed in 1991 to manage the real estate assets
of the parent company and directly facilitate catalytic
development projects across Cleveland. One such
project presented itself in 1999 when Saint Luke’s
Hospital officially closed its doors in the East side
neighborhood of Buckeye. The striking seven-story
brick building was originally built between 1926
and 1929 and became an immediate icon for the
middle-class Hungarian community–it’s 92 foot bell
New Village Corporation
tower soaring into the sky and serving as the most
recognizable landmark outside of Downtown.
The building sat vacant for five years and the community
had all but written off the beloved structure as yet
another victim of the continued economic decline in
the community. New Village Corporation’s purchase
and subsequent rehabilitation of the 380,000 square
foot structure into low income senior apartments, a
high-performing K-8 charter school, preschool, youth
club, and 18,000 square feet of office space have
flipped the script for the community and provided
proof that anything is again possible in Buckeye.
Combined with the recently-developed Harvey Rice
Elementary School (2009, $16 million), Rice Branch
Library (2010, $9 million), and forthcoming Train
Station rebuild (2016, $4.2 million), the entire area is
now known as “Saint Luke’s Pointe” and the vacant
land across from the hospital is the next logical step
in the community’s resurgence.
The undeveloped area now platted for single family
parcels formerly served as the sprawling surface
parking lots for the Saint Luke’s Medical Center.
When the campus was acquired the City graciously
agreed to help NVC remove the parking lots and build
a series of service roads intended to serve “Legacy at
Saint Luke’s Pointe”, a 81-unit market-rate residential
development. Twelve detached single family homes
were built as part of CitiRama 2006—a home builder
showcase. An additional ten lots were sold and
developed between 2006 and 2010, but the Great
Recession took its toll on sales prices and made the
construction of the remaining homes impractical.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Saint Luke's Adaptive Reuse
Finished: 2014
Cost: $63Mn TDC
The renovation and
adaptive reuse of former
Saint Luke’s Hospital, a
landmark on the National
Register of Historic Places,
serves as a model for
strategic initiatives involving
historic rehabilitation,
neighborhood revitalization,
and intergenerational
community engagement.
Phase III builds upon earlier
phases (south and west
wings) of the project that
comprise 139 units of
senior housing. The mixeduse east wing is anchored
by The Intergenerational
School, a top-ranked K-8
charter school, which
occupies the majority of
levels one through four.
Other tenant spaces include
the Boys & Girls Club
on 15% of the first floor
and the November Early
Childhood Learning Center
on 20% of the fourth floor.
Neighborhood Progress and
the Saint Luke's Foundation
occupy the fifth and sixth
floors, respectively.

ORGANIZATION FOCUS
Neighborhood Progress
Three Portfolios:
Placemaking
CDC Services
Economic Opportunity
Two Subsidiaries
New Village Corporation
Village Capital Corporation
One Mission:
To Foster Communities of
Choice and Opportunity
Throughout Cleveland.
Our Vision:
For all of Cleveland’s
neighborhoods to
be attractive, vibrant
communities where people
from all incomes, races,
and generations thrive,
prosper, and choose to
live, learn, work, invest,
and play. Working in
partnership with community
development corporations,
local foundations, the
business community,
and government, our
efforts have worked
to create a strong and
productive system that
has visibly improved many
neighborhoods and enabled
thousands of the city’s
residents to enjoy a better
quality of life.

Three non-contiguous parcels along East 116th Street
were transferred to the Cleveland Housing Network
in 2013, bringing us to our current development
footprint of 56 undeveloped sublots that have been
partially parceled and served with utilities. With the
Saint Luke’s redevelopment now complete, the NVC
development team is eager to reconsider the vacant
land immediately to the North in order to determine
the most impactful and saleable development
conclusion. The site is walking distance from Shaker
Square, the to-be-redeveloped “Saint Luke’s/East 116
St” RTA station (served by green and blue trains), and
the Larchmere Arts and Antiques District.
$115 million over a 10-year span (figure 4-1 above).
With the upcoming rebuild of the E116/St. Luke's
RTA rail station, Saint Luke’s Pointe (inclusive of this
development) will be one of Cleveland’s most vibrant
and successful transit-oriented developments.
Perhaps most importantly, the site is a four-minute
drive/bus ride or ten minute bike ride from the heart of
University Circle, Ohio’s fastest-growing employment
center and home to the Cleveland Clinic, Case Western
Reserve University, University Hospital, Cleveland
Institute of Art, Little Italy, and dozens of impactful
cultural amenities (Cleveland Symphony, botanical
garden, art museum, natural history museum, etc.).
Indeed, the Buckeye neighborhood is squarely within
the geography of Greater University Circle. As such,
it is eligible for several incentive programs such as
the Greater Circle Living initiative, which provides
financial assistance to Circle employees that choose
to buy a home near their job. The site is also fifteen
minutes (via car or train) from downtown Cleveland
and all that it has to offer.
ZONING
All parcels are currently zoned 2F-B1, a residential
designation allowing for up to two-family
construction. This zoning is denoted in the parcel
list in Appendix B and is mapped at the right. The
first phase of this development was completed as
a planned unit development (PUD), approved by the
City of Cleveland on May 21, 2003. The full text of
that approval will be provided digitally to those that file
an intent to respond. Faithful execution of the original
plan could avoid zoning approval, but it is anticipated
that at least minor amendments will be necessary.
III. Land Summary
As indicated above, this project is surrounded by
significant community investment, totaling more than
SITE DESCRIPTION
The existing project site is roughly 7.1 acres, spread
across 29 parcels, and originally envisioned as a mix
of single-family and town homes totaling 56 sublots.
A breakdown of the site parcels can be seen at the
right. The map and full parcel list are also included in
Appendix B.
IMPROVEMENTS
The site lots are currently vacant lots with a number
of infrastructure improvements made in preparation
for development in the mid-2000’s, including: new
streets, curbs, and sidewalk curb-cuts; clay caps
under proposed foundations; and utility stub-ins.

Intergenerational School
Founded: 2000
Years in Community: 2
The Intergenerational
School (TIS) is one of only
seven K-8 public charter
schools in the country to
be recognized by the US
Department of Education’s
Office of Innovation for
closing the achievement
gap. TIS has 239 students,
of whom 95% are African
American or multiracial
background and 73%
qualify for free or reducedcost lunch programs. The
school emphasizes small
multi-age classrooms,
intergenerational
mentors, and community
partnerships. The school
has achieved an “Excellent
with Distinction” rating
from the State of Ohio each
of the last three years and
has most recently been
celebrated as the 2014
recipient of The Eisner
Prize for Intergenerational
Excellence.
At Saint Luke’s, TIS benefits
from the senior residents
on-site who may serve as
mentors, and from joint
programming with other
building tenants.

CONVEYANCE
The parcels will be conveyed “as-is”, without
warranty by New Village as to the condition of the
land or the infrastructure. Respondents should draw
their own conclusions concerning conditions that
may affect the method or costs of development. All
assumed development and remediation costs should
be detailed in Respondents’ submission.
IV. Master Plan & Governance
As originally envisioned, “Legacy at Saint Luke’s
Pointe” would accommodate an additional 56
attached and detached single family homes along
roads installed by the City of Cleveland less than ten
years ago. However, NVC understands that 2015 is
a dramatically different development environment
than 2006 was and is prepared to consider new land
use approaches, development strategies, housing
typologies, and project and development team
structures. The project name and branding should
also be updated to better leverage inherent site
advantages and promote the development as a peer
to other trend-setting Cleveland developments.
COVENANTS
Portions of the Project Site (and those previously
developed) are subject to a declaration of covenants,
conditions, easements, and restrictions recorded by
the St. Luke’s Pointe Homeowners’ Association, Inc.
with the Cuyahoga County Recorder on 11/10/2005 as
AFN 200511100549. The document will be provided
digitally to those that file an intent to respond. The
respondent’s proposal should enumerate any material
changes seen as necessary to this document.
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this request is to select either a master
developer or development partner with the capability,
vision, and experience necessary to deliver all of the
components of this project in a manner consistent
with NVC’s enduring objectives:
1. To strengthen mixed-income neighborhoods with
a variety of housing products and community
amenities.
2. To leverage investment and attract new residents
to the City of Cleveland.
3. To enhance the built environment and Cleveland
neighborhoods, specifically, with high quality
development.
V. LEED ND
“LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED ND)
was engineered to inspire and help create better,
more sustainable, well-connected neighborhoods.
It looks beyond the scale of buildings to consider
entire communities” (USGBC, 2015).
The “St. Luke’s Neighborhood District” was awarded
LEED ND Silver certification in 2009 and maintains
that accreditation today. The Legacy plan was an
integral component of the district and its geography
falls squarely within its boundaries. This LEED ND
certification (one of Ohio’s first) will require any
new development to adhere to these now relatively
common sustainable development approaches. The
project scorecard is included as an appendix.
VI. Water Stewardship
New Village staff have been working closely with
Legacy at Saint Luke's Pointe, Phase II RFP
program staff from the Northeast Ohio Regional
Sewer District (NEORSD) and engineers from the
Environmental Design Group of Akron in pursuit
of making this development a demonstration
community for progressive water stewardship
practices. Techniques will likely range anywhere from
storm water collection and filtration to rain gardens,
attractively-designed retention elements, and
wetlands landscaped with adapted native species.
Should our proposal gain traction, the presumption is
that NEORSD would provide funding for the increased
costs of site enhancements and New Village staff
would privately raise funding to integrate residential
water conservation systems into planned homes. A
copy of the NEORSD grant application will be provided
under separate cover to those that confirm their intent
to submit.
VII. New Village Corporation
New Village Corporation is a not-for-profit real estate
development subsidiary of Cleveland Neighborhood
Progress. Throughout its history, New Village
Corporation has developed projects that are either
too large for a non-profit community development
organization to take on or too "risky" for a private
developer acting alone.
PROJECTS
Over its twenty-four year history, New Village has
developed over 800 residential units and more
than 1.2 million square feet of commercial space
in twenty-one projects totaling over $206 million of
investment. Its completed projects include for-sale,
New Village Corporation
market rate housing projects, retail projects, adaptive
re-use projects and new construction projects. New
Village has utilized conventional financing, public
financing, low income housing tax credits, historic tax
credits and new markets tax credits. A sampling of
our projects includes the following.
• Acquisition, relocation, demolition, brownfield
remediation and new construction of two standalone Dave’s Supermarkets (35,000 sf in Ohio City
and 45,000 sf in Slavic Village);
• Site assembly and construction of 81 market rate,
for-sale units in the Central Commons housing
development (Central);
• Acquisition, adaptive re-use, and historic renovation
of 36 units in the Fries & Schuele Apartments
Project, Phase 1 and acquisition, relocation,
demolition and new construction of 42 units in
Phase 2, both (Ohio City); and
• Acquisition, selective demolition, brownfield
remediation, and adaptive re-use of the former
Saint Luke’s Hospital into 139 units of affordable
senior housing and 80,000 sq. ft. of office and
institutional uses (Buckeye).
PROGRAM AREAS
The main focus of New Village Corporation’s parent
company, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, is to
foster communities of choice and opportunity. As the
attached chart reflects, the family of organizations
has three primary program areas:
1. Community Development Corporation (CDC)
Services;
2. Placemaking; and
3. Economic Opportunity.

Summary
The proposed undertaking
is to rehabilitate and bring
into ADA compliance
the existing East 116th
Street Station at Shaker
Boulevard. The platform
length is sufficient for 3-car
trains with curb ramps
and access to the station
entrance, which will also
be brought within ADA
compliance.
The design features one
ramp with a butterflyroofed canopy on the
north side of station and
one new stair with canopy
on the south side. The
ramp would connect to
E. 116th Street and has a
secondary connector to
Shaker Boulevard, near the
Saint Luke’s property. ADA
accessibility for the south
side will be accomplished
with a track crossing.
Working through Cleveland’s strong CDC network,
Neighborhood Progress and its subsidiaries work
to make certain that both the places and the people
in our city are healthy, prosperous and thriving. As
part of the Placemaking agenda, New Village’s
work embraces the Placemaking mission: more
Clevelanders are living in vibrant neighborhoods.
PLACEMAKING
“Placemaking” is a multi-faceted approach to the
planning, design, management and treatment of the
built environment. New Village Corporation aims to
engage stakeholders in revitalizing strategies that
leverage existing investments, expand on community
assets and integrate new amenities that improve
businesses and the lives of residents in Cleveland’s
neighborhoods.
VIII. Neighborhood History
Saint Luke’s Pointe spans the area between E110
to E116 Streets, from Woodland Avenue to Martin
Luther King, Jr. Drive in the historic Buckeye-Shaker
neighborhood. Buckeye has traditionally been a
working class neighborhood, while nearby Larchmere
(bordering Shaker Lakes Park and the suburb of
Shaker Heights) has predominantly been middle
class and affluent. In the 1970s and ‘80s, Buckeye
rapidly transitioned from a primarily Hungarian and
Italian-American community, to a significantly smaller
African-American neighborhood, with growing
numbers of vacant and deteriorated homes. The
population in Buckeye is now 81% African American,
and 13% white; nearly a quarter of the population is
60 and over, and another quarter is age 17 or under.

SAINT LUKE'S
PHASE 2
Almost one-third of households with minor children
live below poverty, and the median household income
is $25,283. Finally, more than 90% of school-aged
children are enrolled in public schools.
LARCHMERE
Though Larchmere also became a majority AfricanAmerican community, it retained a larger proportion
of white homeowners and professionals in the
classic apartment buildings near Shaker Square. The
main arteries of this community—Larchmere Road,
Shaker Boulevard, and Buckeye Road—reflect these
socioeconomic shifts. Larchmere Boulevard—wellknown for its unique antique stores and retail shops—
largely avoided the growing vacancies and blight that
afflicted Buckeye Road. Shaker Boulevard, with the
Regional Transit Authority (RTA) tracks running down
its middle, marked a stark border between the two
neighborhoods.
SAINT LUKE'S
In the late 1990s, the closing of Saint Luke’s
Hospital would prove to greatly disturb the vitality
of Buckeye and surrounding neighborhoods. Saint
Luke’s Hospital had long been a vital community
anchor, serving as a major employment and service
institution for Buckeye residents. The need for a
strategic, catalytic intervention in the Buckeye-Shaker
community was poignantly apparent. Determining
how to redevelop the abandoned hospital and its
campus, and how to leverage the redevelopment
to reinforce efforts to invest in and strengthen the
surrounding neighborhoods, was the foremost
objective of discussions between ranging community

stakeholders including Buckeye Area Development
Corp. (now Buckeye Shaker Square Development),
Shaker Square Area Development Corporation
(SHAD), and Cleveland Neighborhood Progress. The
closure of the hospital also resulted in the formation
of the Saint Luke’s Foundation, which has since
become an integral supporter of revitalization and
public health efforts in the neighborhoods around the
former hospital.
In 2004, with financial support from the Saint Luke's
Foundation, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress began
working closely with local community development
corporations to undertake a community planning
agenda that addressed priority concerns within the
Buckeye-Shaker area. Through a process which
included focus groups and visioning sessions,
community members identified the following as priority
concerns: housing maintenance, blight elimination,
neighborhood perception and identification, social and
health amenities, safety and security, and commercial
corridor upgrades. The redevelopment of Saint Luke's
Hospital into Saint Luke’s Manor emerged as an
integral part of the comprehensive planning vision
created and vetted by and for the community.
Since acquiring the former Saint Luke’s Hospital in
2006, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, the parent
company of New Village, has worked diligently to
restore the crumbling historic landmark to its past
glory and position as a vital community anchor. The
newly renovated Saint Luke’s Manor is again an iconic
symbol of community health amidst the ongoing
revitalization of the Buckeye-Shaker community.

TODAY
Though the Buckeye Shaker area continues to face
significant challenges, the community has equally
significant assets that make stabilization and
transformation a real possibility. Shaker Square is a
vibrant commercial district with a culturally diverse mix
of stores and restaurants appealing to Clevelanders of
all backgrounds. Buckeye Road features a shopping
plaza with a supermarket and two bank branches.
Larchmere Boulevard has distinctive shops, galleries,
and restaurants. The area also hosts three RTA light
rail stations, which connect the neighborhood to the
airport, Downtown Cleveland, and Shaker Heights.
Additionally, Buckeye Shaker is directly adjacent
to two stable inner-ring suburban communities in
Cleveland Heights and Shaker and minutes away
from the bustling economic and cultural engine of
University Circle. The image below identifies some of
these adjacencies.

Shaker Square
Completed: 1929
The historic American
Colonial-Georgian shopping
center was the nation's
second planned shopping
area (Country Club Plaza,
Kansas City) and was
largely influenced by
European town squares.
It was built by the Van
Sweringen brothers, who
also developed much
of Shaker Heights. They
envisioned Shaker Square
as a gateway between the
urban and suburban living
spaces represented in the
early 20th century. A short
distance east of the Shaker
Square stop, the track splits
into the Green and Blue
lines, which service the
