CLEVELAND — The Playhouse Square Foundation, the nonprofit steward of downtown Cleveland’s theater district, has been eyeing the nearby Greyhound station for at least a decade.Public records show Playhouse Square recently paid $3.35 million for the building and neighboring land. The purchase puts a historic property in preservation-savvy hands while giving Playhouse Square control of key real estate just north of the theaters.
The nonprofit doesn't just oversee the nation’s second-largest performing arts center. Playhouse Square is also a major landlord, using real estate to support the arts and education. That project never happened. It stalled as the city explored the prospect of building a multi-modal transit station – with Amtrak, Greyhound and RTA service – downtown.
That’s something Playhouse Square knows a lot about. The nonprofit has renovated and championed Cleveland's historic theaters, which were threatened with demolition in the 1970s. It has restored other nearby buildings, filling them with offices, apartments and restaurants.
