Phase II Several Restaurants (Alley Cat, Crop East Bank), bars (Beerheads, Punch Bowl Social), 1200-foot boardwalk, and 243 Apartments opened as a part of Phase 2 in 2015.

New restaurants on the East bank, Cleveland Aquarium, Music Box performance venue/bar on the West Bank, along with a piano bar, 2 breweries, a Water Taxi between the East Bank and the West Bank and many other upscale amenities have changed what was as recently as 2010 a ghost town.

The canal's towpath, part of the Ohio and Erie Canal Corridor, is also being restored to provide jogging and bike trails for city residents and to preserve part of the Flats history.
