By STAN BULLARD Competition is intense for an assignment to remake the site of Lakewood Hospital as a mixed-use project. City officials and a citizens advisory group short-listed five teams from eight that vied for the site. Several of Northeast Ohio's largest real estate developers and a sprinkling of out-of-state firms are on the short list posted on the city's web page. Since the suburb's request for qualifications asked for full project teams incorporating consultants and architects, a panoply of the region's service providers are allied with various teams. The goal is to repurpose the 6-acre site on the southeast corner of Detroit and Belle avenues. The five teams are as follows: Carnegie Management & Development Corp., a Westlake-based developer and owner of shopping centers, office buildings and government properties throughout the region and nationally.

First Interstate put the most flesh on its request for qualifications. The company indicated it envisioned at least 250 residential units on the site and what it called "amenity spaces" for the community as well as kiosks to add to Detroit's retail activity. First Interstate said it envisions the empty two-story Curtis Block Building, 14501 Detroit, as co-working and flexible office space. The century-old building is owned by the city of Lakewood. The hospital site was donated to the city by the Cleveland Clinic as part of its plan to close the once city- owned hospital that had served the community since 1907, according to Encyclopedia of Cleveland History. The Clinic broke ground Monday, April 3, for a family health center costing more than $30 million to construct. The health center will rise on the southwest corner of Belle and Detroit opposite the commercial redevelopment site. An office building and parking garage previously on the southwest corner were razed last year.
