Shaker Square celebrates 2nd anniversary of local nonprofit ownership, with an eye to future
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Going back to its opening 95 years ago, Shaker Square could be considered “the original transit-oriented development.”
That historical perspective came last week from the City of Cleveland’s chief integrated development officer, Jeff Epstein, during the observance of the landmark’s second anniversary under local nonprofit ownership.
Growing up in Shaker Heights, Epstein has his share of lifetime memories of visiting the square.
So does Tania Menesse, president and CEO of Cleveland Neighborhood Progress (CNP), co-owners of Shaker Square with Burten Bell Carr Development Inc. (BBC).
Shaker Square's Road to Recovery

Shaker Square's Road to Recovery
It’s been two years since the nonprofits Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and Burten, Bell, Carr Development purchased the east side shopping center Shaker Square to prevent an out-of-state buyer from swooping in.
Why it matters: The owners this week unveiled more than $5 million in recent investments, paid for with both public and private dollars, that have helped retain Dave’s Market as an anchor tenant, attracted a new coffee shop and positioned the retail hub for future purchase.
Flashback: The nonprofits secured a $12 million loan from the City of Cleveland to acquire Shaker Square after its foreclosure in 2020.
The goal was to “stabilize and reposition” on a five-year timeline, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress CEO and president Tania Menesse tells Axios, and to find an eventual buyer who would work in partnership with local stakeholders.
Driving the news: Dave’s Market has agreed to a six-year lease extension, with options to renew.
It’s getting $350,000 from the City of Cleveland and the Square’s nonprofit owners for renovations as part of the deal.
Plus: Melissa Garrett, who owns and operates UnBar Cafe in Larchmere, is set to open a new space — Cafe Indigo — in the former Dewey’s Coffee location in November.
She said at a press conference Monday that it will offer coffee, ice cream and sandwiches.
Will Shaker Square's $5-Million Makeover Be Enough to Sway Future Tenants?

Will Shaker Square's $5-Million Makeover Be Enough to Sway Future Tenants?
On a recent Thursday afternoon, there was a cacophony of sounds emanating from Shaker Square. Construction workers in neon vests were smoothing out freshly-paved road. Leafblowers worked down the block from contractors to clear weeds. Painters ran their white brushes up and down cracked facades.
“It’s kind of like puzzle piece matching,” says Michael Price, a contractor with Capretta who was shaping wood trim to match the aesthetic of the square’s original. Price looked at a sill. “Some of this is 100 years old. It’s really stood the test of time.”
This Whitman-esque orchestra of machinery is proof that, since this past spring, Shaker Square’s new owners and operators are working to reshape Cleveland’s oldest outdoor shopping district as an appealing place for 21st century, post-pandemic shoppers.
But even more so, to fashion the octagon of retail off Shaker Boulevard as a safe bet for developers and new tenants eager to buy into such vision–even as inflation, high interest rates and competition with Amazon continues to loom.
That hard belief—that a modernized Shaker Square is necessary—is what drove Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and Burten, Bell, Carr to buy the square from its previous owner, Coral Co., for $11 million in August 2022.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The nonprofit owners of Shaker Square on Monday announced a new tenant, Cafe Indigo, and detailed the work that’s been done to the center toward eventually making it attractive to a new buyer.

Shaker Square announces new cafe as renovations continue
Crain’s Cleveland Business, Alexandra Golden
Patrons of Shaker Square may notice the lack of a coffee shop — but that soon will change.
Cafe Indigo hopes to open by November, pending permits, owner Melissa Hirsch said Monday, Aug. 26, at a press conference updating developments at Shaker Square. Cafe Indigo will open in the space that has seen two other coffee shops depart in recent years: Dewey’s Coffee, which closed in May 2019, and Biggby Coffee, which closed at the end of 2022.
The new cafe will offer ice cream in addition to coffee and other traditional cafe items, such as sandwiches, soups and salads. Hirsch said Cafe Indigo will “feel a lot like a coffee shop,” but she’s adding the ice cream element as a “bonus to the community” because it’s not available in a nearby shop.

NEO Trans Blog, Ken Prendergast
Two years ago this month, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress (CNP) and Burten, Bell, Carr, Inc. (BBC) acquired Cleveland’s historic but faded Shaker Square mixed-use district. Today, the new owners outlined what they considered to be significant work and investment in making capital improvements to the property and carrying out a retail strategy to restore vibrancy to the square.
Today’s event centered around the unveiling of new storefront awnings, planned landscape improvements and recent roofing, electrical and heating-ventilating-air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades. All told, the investments to update the 95-year-old Shaker Square so far amount to approximately $4.5 million.

Preliminary Vision for Shaker Square Unveiled!
A community vision for Shaker Square is taking shape. Co-owners, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress (CNP) and Burten, Bell, Car (BBC) invite the Shaker Square community to see and comment on a preliminary vision for the future of the Square. The unveiling will take place at an open house on September 19, from 4pm to 7pm in the former Dewey’s Coffee space at 13201 Shaker Square. Attendees will enjoy live music and complimentary refreshments. Folks are welcome to drop in at their convenience to check out the interactive gallery. A presentation will take place at 6pm.
The Shaker Square Vision Plan is investigating marketplace strategies and public realm designs that support local businesses and position Shaker Square as both a metro-wide destination and neighborhood hub. This plan aims to determine an aspirational, yet achievable future for the Square based on the community’s interests and sensible development and retail opportunities. The vision plan is building on insights from the 2019 planning study, focusing its components that currently resonate with the community.
The plan is being co-created with community and merchant input. Nearly 500 people have responded to a survey, over 200 attended Stroll the Square in June, and many more stopped by a Vision Plan table at Summer on Shaker Square, Larchmere Porchfest, Parade the Circle, the Van Aken Block Party, and the Moreland Festival. Many of the Shaker Square merchants lent their time and insights via interviews.
All of this grassroots input has driven the creation of the Vision Plan. Check out the preliminary results at the September 19 open house and stay up to date at our website.
Celebrating Two Years of Investments at the Square
On Monday, August 26th, Shaker Square came together to celebrate the unveiling of our new awnings. This event marked the culmination of $5M invested in completed capital investments made at the Square over two years of ownership by Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and Burten, Bell, Carr, Community Development Corporation. These investments include roof repairs, HVAC replacements, electrical updates, improved lighting, paved parking lots, façade improvements, new windows and the most noticeable, awning replacements. These investments represent the commitment of CNP and BBC to the future of Shaker Square as a vibrant retail district and community gathering spot. We were joined by our many philanthropic and government partners that were responsible for funding the capital improvements, without which, we would not have been able to make the great strides at the Square!
Join us in celebrating the revitalization of Shaker Square. Visit our local businesses, participate in community events, and experience the new energy that these improvements have brought to our district.

Keeping Shaker Square Fashionable
Fashions By Fowler is a women’s clothing store that has been a fixture on Shaker Square for 14 years. The co-owners, Renay and Tracy, share a passion for fashion that was nurtured from a young age by their mother, who introduced them to the intricacies of fabric textures, color coordination, and design. This early exposure to fashion sparked their interest and eventually led them to establish their own business.
The inspiration to open their store in Shaker Square came from Tracy’s husband, Akin Affrica, the owner of Zanzibar. After their previous store in Cleveland Heights unexpectedly closed after 11 years, they were on the lookout for a new location. Akin informed them about a potential space in Shaker Square and facilitated an introduction to the property manager. Since then, Fashion By Fowler has found a new home and flourished in the community.
Fashions By Fowler continues to serve the community, providing stylish clothing options and showcasing the spirit of local entrepreneurship.
