History

Shaker Square is central to Cleveland’s history.  Located between “work” and “play” it was always planned as a place where people could relax after a workday in a green and beautiful setting.  The Square is the second oldest outdoor shopping mall in the country.  Presently positioned as a destination for eating and enjoyment, Shaker Square is close to the dozens of cultural events at University Circle and downtown.

Shaker Towers inherits an important piece of Cleveland history – historically and presently home to mayors and ambassadors, diverse populations of cultural and business leaders who enjoy suburban quiet and urban busyness.  The feeling is warm and friendly, and caring.  A mid-century building (1950), the architect was Joseph Ceruti who designed this high-rise apartment building – the last in Cleveland with windows in the kitchens and bathrooms. In 1979, Shaker Towers became a condominium, one of Cleveland’s earliest conversions.
