The Flats East Bank Project was one of the first new, large-scale commercial developments in the City of Cleveland in over a decade, and its construction helped to jump start Cleveland's renaissance. A key portion of the funding came from Cleveland International Fund and the EB-5 Program - without which the Project would have never been successful.
