Battery Park is an urban redevelopment project on 13 acres between W. 73rd and W. 76th streets north of Detroit Avenue in Cleveland's Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood. Developer Marous Bros. is investing $100 million in 300 new housing units, converting the old Eveready Powerhouse into a private restaurant, market, and meeting place, and setting aside public access green space on its site overlooking Edgewater Beach. Construction has begun on phase one of single-family homes, townhomes and luxury lofts with occupancy expected by spring 2006. 

In addition to the lake views, the developers are touting a future connection to the lakefront itself as $49.8 million in state and federal funds is already promised to convert the West Shoreway into a Lakefront Boulevard. As part of that project, W. 73rd Street will have a new intersection with pedestrian access to the lakeshore.
