The historic Cleveland Masonic Temple has been listed for sale.
Cleveland Magazine reports the 220,000-square-foot Romanesque Revival complex, which encompasses several buildings and venues, was constructed between 1918 and 1921 by The Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Valley of Cleveland. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
The property last changed hands in 2017 when it was acquired for $725,000 by Beaty Capital Group, a Fort Smith, Arkansas company that conducted business as TempleLive Cleveland LLC and later as Masonic Holding LLC. The company invested $8.6 million in renovations, although plans to build an adjacent hotel and parking garage never came to fruition.
The property – which features a 2,200-seat auditorium, banquet hall and lounge – had been used a concert venue and hosted professional wrestling events before being closed last September. Newmark Group, the property’s brokers, has not published an asking price, although a 2025 appraisal by the county valued the buildings and its’ 1.5-acre parcel at $711,800 for tax purposes.
“The property offers strong potential for continued entertainment use or redevelopment into luxury residential, hospitality or mixed-use space,” said Newmark’s marketing materials.
