Euclid council rejects plan to convert landmark office tower to apartments
Summary
The Euclid City Council voted down a use-district exception that would have allowed Euclid Office Campus LLC to convert a largely vacant commercial building at 26300 Euclid Avenue into a multi-family residential development after weeks of debate over safety, tax revenue and neighborhood impact.
A plan to convert a largely vacant office building at 26300 Euclid Avenue into about 190 apartments failed in a roll-call vote by the Euclid City Council on Monday, July 21, 2025.
The measure, a third-reading resolution asking for a use-district exception under the city code, drew more than an hour of discussion from council members, city staff, the development team and residents before the council voted 8–3 to reject the proposal.
The proposal’s supporters, including the administration and the project developers, said the conversion would preserve a $55 million investment, retain roughly 20,000 square feet of commercial space in the building and produce more income-tax revenue than the site generates today. Director Groganmeyer told council that the building currently has “approximately 50% vacant” office space and that the project team expects the development’s income-tax yield to exceed current receipts once units are rented.
