The NRP Group announced the grand opening of The Collins, a 316-unit luxury community on the Scranton Peninsula in Cleveland, Ohio. The development has transformed a long-underutilized waterfront site into a vibrant new neighborhood, adding modern housing, open space and direct access to downtown Cleveland, Tremont and Ohio City.
Just steps from the Cuyahoga River and a short drive to downtown Cleveland, The Collins offers highly amenitized residences designed for a wide range of residents. The project responds to the city’s growing need for high-quality, modern housing while activating a key part of the Scranton Peninsula.
Located at 1957 Carter Road, The Collins is close to major employers and medical centers including Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and MetroHealth, along with cultural and dining destinations such as the West Side Market, Great Lakes Brewing and Irish Town Bend.
Designed by BKV Group, The Collins spans over seven acres and comprises two five-story apartment buildings and three townhome buildings. Apartments range from studios to three-bedroom layouts. Townhomes include private entry, rooftop balconies and two-car garages. All homes are designed with high-quality finishes such as stainless-steel GE appliances, polished quartz countertops, modern cabinetry and luxury vinyl plank flooring.
Indoor amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, resident clubhouse, conference room, private breakout pods and a pet spa. A fifth-floor lounge provides sweeping views of the river and city skyline. Outdoor amenities emphasize connection and community. The Collins features a resort-style pool, firepits, grilling stations and a woonerf-inspired plaza designed for events, food trucks and neighborhood gatherings. Wide walkways prioritize pedestrians and connect directly to the Towpath Trail, with free onsite bike rentals available for residents to ride the trail to Irish Town Bend, Ohio City and downtown Cleveland.
Dollar Bank served as the construction lender. The Ohio Department of Development provided critical funds through its Brownfield Remediation and State Opportunity Zone Programs. The Ohio Water Development Authority provided gap financing as well. The City of Cleveland also provided tax abatement and Tax Increment Financing (TIF). All were crucial in achieving a successful project.
