11815-11837 Lorain Avenue
11815 Lorain Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44111 United States

OVERVIEW
The former Variety Theatre, located at 11815 Lorain Avenue on the near-Westside of Cleveland, presents an exciting opportunity for a mixed-use redevelopment. With its iconic architecture and rich history, the theater is primed for repositioning. As demand for both residential and entertainment spaces continue to grow in Northeast Ohio, transforming the theater into a venue for concerts, events, weddings, and entertainment could fill a critical gap in the mid-market sector. A key advantage of this project is the property’s status as a historic landmark, as well as the approval of a federal historic tax credit (HTC) award ($1.6 million), a state HTC award ($1.4 million), and the availability of completed architectural plans. These factors save time and resources, streamlining the development process. Redeveloping the Variety Theatre into an entertainment venue offers a compelling investment opportunity to restore a historic landmark while meeting the community’s evolving needs. This project holds the potential to enrich Cleveland’s cultural landscape, generate returns, and preserve the legacy of a cherished institution.
