The 9: Exciting Geis Development Project Downtown

Keith Halfmann and Fred Geis

The 9 is what Cleveland developer Fred Geis of Geis Companies is calling the project on E. 9th Street between Euclid and Prospect.  A boutique "autograph" hotel, apartments and restaurants will open in September, along with the new county building and Heinen's supermarket, in the old Cleveland Trust Rotunda at 9th and Euclid.

Keith Halfmann is CEO of Geis Hospitality Group.  He joins Fred Geis in this interview, during which Geis talks about his other Cleveland projects as well, which include renovating the Agora and resurrecting Peabody's.
