Canvas at Valor Acres
Project Type
A Vibrant Residential and Social Hub
Canvas is the first residential offering within the Valor Acres master plan, strategically located in Brecksville—the heart of Northeast Ohio. This premier mixed-use development exemplifies modern, efficient design and a dynamic live-work-play lifestyle, blending premium retail, hospitality, and corporate spaces.
As a multi-family residence, Canvas is centered around vibrant common areas that serve as the social heart of the community. The ground floor is dedicated to various communal spaces, including residential amenities, fitness facilities, a bar and lounge, and co-working areas. These co-working spaces, curated by an outside operator, introduce a steady flow of people and events, fostering a lively and ever-evolving environment.
Residential units are positioned above, while the active ground level promotes seamless interaction between residents and the broader community. The design prioritizes fluidity—spaces radiate from a central core, blending and evolving to blur traditional boundaries. Lounge and co-working areas open directly onto pool terraces, graffiti walls, and pickleball courts—outdoor “rooms” that merge effortlessly with the interiors.
Art plays a central role in the Canvas experience. A refined material palette is a backdrop for curated artworks, allowing creativity to shine. The journey through the space is punctuated by distinctive “follies”—including a mirror-ball bar, illuminated ceiling screens, and a horizontal garden—enhancing the atmosphere and sense of discovery.
