24-Story, 437,000 Sq Ft Apartment Tower Filed for University Circle
UC City Center LLC filed a $24 million permit for a 24-story rental apartment building at 1999 Circle Drive in Ward 6, adding 437,000 square feet of multi-family housing near the University Circle cultural district.
A permit filed April 10, 2026 signals a major new residential tower in the University Circle area. UC City Center LLC submitted plans for a 24-story rental apartment building at 1999 Circle Drive, with a construction value of $24 million.
The project would deliver roughly 437,000 square feet of multi-family residential space using Type IA fire-resistive construction. The filing indicates both a change in use and site work, suggesting the tower would rise on a parcel not currently used for high-rise housing.
The permit is currently listed as 'Awaiting Plans' with the city's building department. The site sits in Ward 6, in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood — home to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Case Western Reserve University, and University Hospitals.
