PHSF also received millions of dollars in donations for recent capital campaigns to limit increases in its debt burden.Įven so, it has taken significant debt to build The Lumen. The project received significant public sector support including $50 million in tax-free bonds from the Port of Cleveland, a $4 million grant from the State of Ohio’s Capital Budget, a $10 million loan from Cuyahoga County, 30-year tax increment financing and a $1 million loan from the City of Cleveland. The Lumen was built for $138 million and sources are saying that PHSF will sell it on the market through their broker CBRE.

The closest residential tower that’s taller is the 410-foot-tall, 30-story The Residences at the Alcoa Building in Pittsburgh that was converted from offices. It is not only the tallest residential building in Cleveland, it’s the tallest in Ohio.

NEOtrans sources acknowledge that, but also are aware of what conversations are being had at PHSF regarding The Lumen and a desire for a follow-on project.īecause PHSF is tax-exempt and doesn’t seek a financial return on its investments, it was able to build The Lumen for less money per square foot than other recent or pending high-rise apartment towers in Cleveland.
