Within a downtown area of Cleveland Heights (Coventry) there exists a strong sense of vitality and rehabilitation. An important step to the success of this area is the ability to provide convenient parking shoe-horned into tight L-shaped downtown sight, so as not to detract views from any of the adjoining residences. Also, it was important to ensure a continuation of street activity via retail facilities integrated into the parking structure. This project serves as an activity beacon for the city streetscape.

Numerous meetings were held with the neighbors from the adjacent residential area to overcome opposition to the project. We worked closely in creating a sensitive solution, which was in the best interest for everyone in the community. This animosity soon turned into admiration as the project continues to be a vital and successful piece of the urban environment of the area.
