CLEVELAND — Cleveland is seeking developers for 50 acres of its Downtown lakefront – including the land where Huntington Bank Field now stands.

During an interview, Mayor Justin Bibb said he’s being “pragmatic and crystal-eyed” about the Cleveland Browns’ plans to leave the lakefront for a new stadium in Brook Park in 2029. At this point, he said, it makes sense to pitch developers on the entire site, including the stadium, and not just the 25 or so acres of parking lots to the north and east.

“We have certainty that the Browns are going to Brook Park,” Bibb said. “And now we have 50 acres of prime real estate on our city’s lakefront to develop. And so we’re excited to get proposals from developers from across, really, the world, who have been reaching out.”
