Historic Warehouse District
Cleveland's first neighborhood, the Warehouse District, was originally a residential area, then became a warehousing and shipping neighborhood, and has morphed into an entertainment, dining, and residential hub. The Warehouse District is the largest downtown neighborhood by population, and continues to grow with an assortment of shops, clubs, bars, and loft condos/apartments. In 2005, local developer Robert L. Stark, of Stark Enterprises, planned a $1 billion redevelopment of parking lots, adding retail, office, housing, and structured parking in a series of buildings from the lakefront to Public Square, see "Stark Project" below.
