Battery Park Sets Standards as

Premier Model of New Urbanism

Not since the turn of the century has Detroit Shoreway been such a hotbed of new housing construction.  The largest new housing development to date in Detroit Shoreway neighborhood is Battery Park, by Vintage Development Group.  Featuring 328 condominium units, the $100 million housing development on 13 acres overlooking Lake Erie will feature lake and downtown views.

Battery Park will incorporate a broad range of residential unit types and price points – it will mirror the scale of the existing neighborhood to the south, allowing a smooth blending of new and old. 

The development will consist of detached single-family unites; two- and three-bedroom townhomes; and one-, two-, and three-bedroom lofts in three-story, five-story, and six-story buildings.  The living space within the units will range from 775 to 2470 square feet, with pricing beginning in the low $170s.

Situated on a bluff overlooking Edgewater Park, the site affords excellent views of Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland.  The development will extend the street grid of the existing neighborhood, with W.73rd and W.76th Streets acting as the project’s eastern and western border.

Battery Park will create a public green space overlooking the lake for use by new and existing neighborhood residents.  Plans call for a redevelopment of the historic Eveready Powerhouse, with its landmark smokestack, into a restaurant, market, and community meeting place.  Construction began in 2005, and occupancy of the first single-family homes started in Spring 2006.
