Cedarview Management

Since 1972…

Cedarview Management began in 1972 when Dr. George and Sydell Lewis moved their family to Bloomington. Sydell and her eldest son, Barney, partnered to create Cedarview Management. The first building constructed, known as “Cedarview Apartments” at 509 E 10th Street, is still a part of the Cedarview Management portfolio today.

For Every Lifestyle & Budget

Cedarview Management has grown to be one of the largest downtown housing providers in Bloomington, offering a wide range of residential properties across the city for “every budget and lifestyle.”

Downtown & Campus

Cedarview Management was instrumental in improving the downtown Bloomington district with the development of the luxury apartment complex, “Tenth & College”. This corner of downtown has now been dramatically transformed into the Tenth & College Campus, which consists of eight luxury apartment buildings, offering residents a lifestyle with a heated swimming pool, 24/7 study room, clubhouse, and a state of the art fitness center.

East Bay I & II was built next door to the Indiana University Technology Park at 10th and the Bypass. It is steps away from the new $500 million Regional Academic Health Center, which houses Indiana University Health Bloomington.

The Gateway offers modern finishes, amazing views of Miller-Showers Park and is just a few blocks from IU Memorial Stadium and Assembly Hall. Go Hoosiers!

CitySide By Alexa, The Alexa and G3 are located in the heart of downtown Bloomington, 1 block from Kirkwood on 4th Street – within walking distance to restaurant row, shops, the B-Line Trail, and Indiana University’s campus.

POSH on Kirkwood

As part of our continued commitment to thoughtful development in Bloomington, Cedarview proudly introduced POSH on Kirkwood to our portfolio — a reimagining of the historic People’s State Bank into a boutique luxury hotel in the heart of downtown.

Carefully restored and refined, POSH has become the Jewel Box of Bloomington — distinct in service, elevated in style, and designed for both sophisticated overnight stays and meaningful gatherings. Its suites offer an intimate, artful experience for guests, while curated event spaces provide a setting for executive meetings, celebrations, and community connection.

The first floor brings additional walkable energy to Kirkwood with the Bar at POSH and Gables Bagels, creating welcoming spaces for locals and visitors alike to gather morning through evening.

With POSH, we continue our mission of enhancing Bloomington’s landscape — preserving its history, supporting local partnerships, and attracting new visitors who contribute to the vibrancy of our growing city.

Commercial/Retail

Cedarview’s downtown properties blend living and local life, featuring street-level units reserved for commercial spaces designed to support local small businesses and essential services that make Bloomington vibrant, walkable, and economically strong.

Historic Properties

Cedarview Management’s portfolio also contains four historic properties, which have been renovated, to preserve the rich history of our community.

Stone Mansion, with 5 unique apartments, is an elegant limestone J.L. Nichols designed structure built in the early 1900’s for the Showers family and renovated to retain many of the original historic features.

In 2007 the Oddfellows Building, home to FARM Bloomington and 12 one-of-a-kind apartments, was added to our portfolio and immediately underwent much needed major renovation and preservation, with support from the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association [BUEA], to restore this historic structure.

In 2013 the Buskirk-Showers Mansion [formerly The Pinnacle Building] was purchased. We re-named this home to honor two of the home’s former families. Immediately after purchasing, the Buskirk-Showers Mansion underwent extensive preservation efforts, also in cooperation with the BUEA, to maintain its historic façade that was found to be in danger of collapsing. The Buskirk-Showers Mansion is now home to Greene & Schultz Trial Lawyers.

Renovations on Kirkwood Towers [formerly Victoria Towers] were immediately begun after purchasing this historic house on the corner of Kirkwood and Lincoln.  Restoration was extensive and included a new roof (with “fish-scale” shingles), a complete rebuild of the back structure that had walls collapsing, repair and paint of all the exterior wood siding, and a painstaking hand-restoration of the stained glass.  Kirkwood Towers is now home to 6 apartments, one apartment has a one of a kind round bedroom nestled in the tower of the house, and Fat Dan’s Chicago-Style Deli.

Cedarview continues to search for new opportunities to enhance and contribute to our community.
