Who We Are
CentroVilla25
Situated in the heart of the Clark-Fulton neighborhood in Cleveland, CentroVilla25 is envisioned to be a vibrant hub that celebrates the rich Latino heritage while fostering substantial economic growth. This initiative is more than just a development project; it is a beacon of hope, a testament to the resilience and vibrant culture of the Latino community, and a catalyst for change in a neighborhood that holds a special place in the history and fabric of Cleveland.
Our vision for CentroVilla25 is grand yet grounded, with plans to transform a 32,500 square foot warehouse into a bustling nucleus of economic and cultural activity. From affordable micro-retail spaces that nurture Hispanic entrepreneurs to a commercial kitchen that promotes culinary arts and healthy living, every facet of CentroVilla25 is designed with the community in mind. It is a space where dreams are nurtured, where culture is celebrated, and where the next generation of leaders will emerge.
