Global Peak Performance Center
Built Downtown
Cleveland Clinic, consistently ranked as one of the world’s top hospitals, the Cleveland Cavaliers, one of the NBA's most storied franchises and Bedrock Real Estate, one of the country’s leading real estate developers and city builders, are joining forces to introduce the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center. The cutting-edge Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center will deepen the Cavaliers’ Championship-caliber culture by providing Cavaliers players and prospective players the most state-of-the-art training resources of any facility in the world. In addition to serving as the new home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Peak Performance Center will also be open to the public, serving as a vital community asset for all. Designed by Populous, a global architectural design firm, specializing in creating world-class elite athlete training environments, the development will anchor Bedrock's $3.5 billion Cuyahoga Riverfront Master Plan. The center will invite elite and everyday athletes from all corners of the globe to downtown Cleveland and further solidify the city's position as a global sports science and wellness destination. The Center will offer personalized expertise in training, treatment, nutrition, and recovery from Cleveland Clinic's professional medical specialists.
The facility is expected to open in 2027.
We have established a championship-level culture in Cleveland, and this is another example of the commitment and overall investment we have made towards the long-term health and well-being of our players and the organization. We are extremely fortunate to partner with the Cleveland Clinic, which shares our vision of making this facility a global destination and a sustainable hub of resources and innovation.
DAN GILBERT
Cleveland Cavaliers Governor and Bedrock Chairman
Situated on the Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland, the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center will become one of the world's largest training facilities focused on enhancing the athlete's overall performance. The more than 210,000 square feet facility will serve as the new home and practice facility of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Adjacent to the Gateway Sports Complex and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center will bring renewed energy and beauty to downtown Cleveland and join the FieldHouse as a vital part of the city’s goal of being an 18-hour, 15-minute neighborhood to live, work, play and stay.
The Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center is the first vertical development of Bedrock's pioneering Cuyahoga Riverfront Master Plan, a $3.5 billion vision for the city of Cleveland that will advance 35 acres of the riverfront, prioritizing accessibility and sustainability. The Master Plan will additionally bring 2,000 residential units, 850,000 square feet of office space, new parking, 12+ acres of public space and opportunities for future hospitality, retail and entertainment venues to the riverfront.
“The groundbreaking of the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center is one of the first steps in transforming and revitalizing the Cuyahoga riverfront. Combining our practice facility with the sports medicine experts from the Cleveland Clinic means that not only will our players have access to the best possible care, but so will the residents of Cleveland and the surrounding areas – creating a multiplier effect that will benefit both the City and the Cavaliers.”

President of Basketball Operations for the Cleveland Cavaliers
