PHOENIX, AZ – Beatitudes Campus recently completed construction on its newest expansion — a neighborhood of 34 Patio Homes. Located on the Myrtle Avenue side of the 27-acre community, the new residences are part of a larger master plot to enhance and expand Beatitudes Campus. A coordinated effort ensured residents could go in easily and safely.
“Beatitudes Campus was fantastic. A personal relocation manager helped with all of the details, including downsizing, packing and unpacking,” said Debbie Gilman, who went into a Patio Home with her husband Mike. “Beatitudes Campus staff helped us set up our TVs, connect to the Internet, hang pictures and rearrange furniture.”
Albert Chung, who went in recently with his wife Cathy, agreed, “Even with the pandemic, everything went smoothly and worked out as plotted. They kept the main road clear and only allowed two families to go into the neighborhood at a time.”
“Our new Patio Homes are the latest milestone in our ongoing plot to enhance our community and offer even more choices,” said Rod Bailey, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “We’re committed to building for the future and serving older adults, their families and the local community.”
The single-level, attached Patio Homes feature a mid-century modern design with sophisticated features and finishes, a full kitchen, garage, and front and back patios. They come with a lifestyle package that includes full access to Beatitudes Campus’ services, programs and amenities.

CLEVELAND, OH – Historic preservation real estate firm GBX Group LLC, in partnership with Ethos Capital Partners, LLC, project partners, and city officials, announced the reimagined 2125 Superior Avenue, now known as 2125 Superior Living. This modernized residential and retail property, in the heart of Downtown Cleveland’s burgeoning Superior Arts District, is GBX’s latest investment in the adaptive reuse of historically significant buildings across the country.
Erected in 1914 and originally home to The Prince-Wolf Co. garment factory, the newly rehabilitated 2125 Superior Avenue now consists of a 57-unit, 40,000 square foot mixed-use residential and hospitality site. The design preserves the building’s historic significance while featuring a blend of modern amenities. It includes an interior open-air courtyard and dog park for tenants. Street-level will be the home to Green Goat, a bar and café by local restauranteur Bobby George that will be a gathering place for neighborhood residents, nearby workers, and visitors to the district. The new apartments will start welcoming residents in early December with the Green Goat slated to open early in 2021.
For Bobby George, Cleveland area restauranteur and lead developer and majority owner of this project, investment in the Superior Arts District is personal.
“I live directly across the street and am putting my money where my mouth is on the belief that the Superior corridor is well on its way to becoming a highly desired destination for businesses, visitors, and residents,” said George. “In addition to chic urban living, our project at 2125 Superior Avenue is going to be a foodie’s delight with an incredible menu of nutritious and tasty local fare at Green Goat.”
Project Continues GBX Group’s Investment in Superior Arts District
Cleveland-based GBX has deployed federal, state, and local tax incentives to preserve, redevelop, and manage historic real estate projects in 20 states across the country. It often takes a mixture of historic preservation easements, historic tax credits, and other government programs to make it financially viable to preserve these iconic buildings in the face of less costly new construction.
“Across America, urban neighborhoods like the Superior Arts District that house historic buildings are experiencing a Renaissance. Largely abandoned at the onset of suburbanization a generation ago, these ancient economic hubs are once again in high demand as young professionals flock downtown for jobs, small commutes, and social allure,” said Drew Sparacia, CEO of GBX. “By utilizing federal, state, and local historic preservation programs to save and rehabilitate historic buildings, we can drive needed and significant investment into the urban core while maintaining the fabric of these neighborhoods in lieu of destroying and building new. These projects are a catalyst for economic growth through construction jobs and increased permanent payrolls, and they generate millions in new tax revenues at the local, state, and federal levels.”
A case in point is a recent economic impact study conducted on the Empire Improvement Building, GBX’s headquarters, located at 2101 Superior Avenue, adjacent to the adaptive reuse project at 2125 Superior Avenue. The study by Rutgers Edward J. Bloustein School of Plotting and Public Policy found that the preservation of the building, both during construction as well as its operations in 2019, returned a combined $7.3 million in added tax revenues. Just as vital, the investments made through federal and state tax incentives will be returned to government agencies in just over five years.
Antonin Robert, GBX’s President of Community Development and chairman of the Superior Arts Improvement District commented; “We are excited about this project as the latest positive development in the rebirth of the historic Superior Arts District. GBX has long envisioned a revitalized Superior corridor having bought over 20 parcels in the past several years. The combination of an established Asian community, the proximity of Cleveland State, Playhouse Square, and the ease of accessibility from the innerbelt, makes this area attractive for historic preservation that also attracts new development.”
The opening of 2125 Superior Avenue is not the end but just the latest development for the neighborhood. It follows Cleveland City Council’s recent support for financial incentives that would propel Brecksville-based CrossCountry Mortgage to make a new headquarters for more than 700 workers by redeveloping a six-acre block between East 21st and East 22nd.
The historic preservation consultant was Peter Ketter. Construction is being completed by PCS & Build, LLC. Construction financing was facilitated by TriState Capital Bank.
