December 15, 2021 – Cleveland Clinic, The City of Cleveland, Meijer, Fairfax Renaissance Development Corporation, and Fairmount Properties broke ground today on a new grocery market and apartment complex in the Fairfax neighborhood of Cleveland.
As part of the $500 million Cleveland Innovation District, the new Fairfax Market mixed-use project will be located on the corner of East 105th Street and Cedar Avenue. The $52.8 million development will include a 40,000-square-foot grocery market opening by Meijer and 196 apartment units.
This new development underscores Cleveland Clinic’s commitment to addressing social determinants of health, which are factors other than medical care, such as job opportunities, housing and education that determine 80 percent of a person’s overall health.
As one of the largest employers in Northeast Ohio, the health system creates indirect and direct jobs that support families, neighborhoods and community life. Collaborating on the grocery market is another way Cleveland Clinic is boosting local indirect employment, the organization says.
Cleveland Clinic expects the grocery market and apartment complex to open as early as 2023.
