Cleveland Cavaliers Break Ground on Training Facility

The Cleveland Cavaliers, along with the Cleveland Clinic and Bedrock Real Estate, broke ground on the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center, a 210,000-square-foot state-of-the-art training facility set to open in 2027. This center marks the first major project in Bedrock's $3.5 billion Cuyahoga Riverfront Master Plan, which aims to revitalize the downtown area. Notable players including Donovan Mitchell attended the ceremony, expressing excitement over the team's commitment to player health and longevity. The facility will not only serve as the Cavs' new practice venue but also provide comprehensive sports medicine services to the public, enhancing community access to elite health care. Mayor Justin Bibb highlighted the rapid progress of the project, which will include residential and commercial developments alongside public spaces. The partnership with the Cleveland Clinic has been extended for 25 years, reinforcing the long-term investment in both player welfare and community health.
