Battery Park was the first major housing project constructed in connection with Cleveland's Lakefront Plan. Adopted by Cleveland's City Planning Commission in 2004 as the Waterfront District Plan, the local government actively promoted shoreline development between Edgewater Park and Gordon Park as a means to help transform and revitalize the city. Providing tax abatements and infrastructure development, the City provided support to the site's developers - Vintage Development Group - in the planning of the proposed 325 unit development. Vintage Development Group also consulted with local organizations and offered community meetings in an effort to incorporate the existing neighborhood into the planning process.
