This year’s Best Upper Floor Residential Rehabilitation Award was presented to Prospect Yard Limited Partnership and Perspectus Architecture for the Prospect Yard renovation in Cleveland.
The 5-story Stuyvesant Motor Company Building is on Cleveland’s Prospect Avenue, an area that has been affected negatively by gentrification and has little options for affordable housing. This building was converted into affordable housing and offers 42 one- and two- bedroom units, while incorporating the original historic materials and designs. The structure is listed as a Cleveland Landmark Bridging Planning with Results and is a great example of early 20th century commercial style architecture. Prospect yard utilized historic tax credits to make the rehab a reality.
