In 2017, Dalad completed a $32 million mixed-use renovation of the 200,000 square foot, Worthington Yards complex. An award winning development, the project combines five buildings comprised of 98 apartments with highly designed amenities, private and public shared courtyards, an art gallery that regularly hosts events and rotating exhibits of local works, and 2,000 square feet of street level retail space.
In 2013, Dalad re-entered the downtown apartment market, working with Tower Press Development in converting the historic M.T. Silver garment factory, located in the Campus District at 2320 Superior Avenue, into 39 state-of-the-art loft-style apartments ranging from one to four-bedroom layouts. On the tails of M.T. Silver, Dalad teamed up with local developers at the Slyman Group for the 80-unit Creswell Apartment renovation at 1220 Huron Road in Cleveland’s world-renowned Playhouse Square theater district.
In 2002, Dalad completed a 100-acre land assembly for Oak Tree Office Park. As the last large-scale commercial site in Independence, Oak Tree Office Park would be the first master-planned commercial office park in the Cleveland community to be unified through common graphics, landscaping standards and material palette.
In 1996, The Dalad Group opened Beacon Place, the first new suburban ground-up office building to emerge following the real estate recession of the early 90’s. Beacon Place introduced a variety of new design and engineering features to the Rockside Road office market.
In the mid 1980’s, The Dalad Group significantly influenced the resurgence of downtown Cleveland’s Warehouse District, assembling 60% of The District’s 2.5 million square foot inventory of historic property. The company developed The Hat Factory, Cleveland’s first Tax Act loft restoration, and followed with The Hoyt Block, a pioneering office loft project.
In the 1970’s and 1980’s, Dalad began acquiring land along Rockside Road in Independence, eventually becoming Independence’s largest single land owner. The company also began assembling land at State Route #82 in Broadview Heights, initiating its focus on the broader south-suburban market along Interstate #77.
In the 1960’s, The Dalad Group established the Canal Road industrial market, creating hundreds of acres of industrial land by cutting down hillsides, filling low lands and re-channeling a segment of the Cuyahoga River in cooperation with the Army Corps of Engineers. In the newly formed Canal Road Industrial Park, the company developed Cleveland’s first flex building.
