Cleveland Cavaliers Make Major Announcement on Tuesday

The Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Clinic, and Bedrock celebrated a major step forward Tuesday with a ceremonial topping-off event for the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center.

The moment marked the completion of the facility’s structural frame, with a final 66-foot steel beam, signed by team executives, construction crews, and civic leaders, hoisted into place, adorned with an American flag and evergreen tree to symbolize strength and longevity.

Set to open in 2027, the 210,000-square-foot center will anchor Bedrock’s $3.5 billion riverfront redevelopment and serve as the new home for the Cavaliers. Designed by global architecture firm Populous and built along the Cuyahoga River, it’s set to become one of the world’s most advanced training and sports science facilities.

“Today marks a historic day for the Cavaliers, for Cleveland and for athletes around the world,” said Dan Gilbert, Cleveland Cavaliers Chairman and Bedrock Founder and Chairman. “This milestone reflects the exceptional work of the dedicated tradespeople and the strength of our partnership with the Cleveland Clinic and the City. This is more than a new building. It is the future of performance, health and innovation on Cleveland’s riverfront.”
