Cleveland: Downtown Office Buildings Updates
NRP Group planning on a move to Halle Building by end of year NRP Group, a powerhouse national developer of apartment complexes and other multifamily properties, is set to make some real estate noise on its own account. The company, founded in 1995 and based in Garfield Heights, plans to move by the end of the year to the Halle Building in downtown Cleveland, contingent on the approval of state and local incentives. NRP Group said late Friday, April 28, that it's working with JobsOhio and the city of Cleveland on incentives to complete the relocation plan. If all goes as planned, NRP Group will take about 43,000 square feet and will occupy the entire fourth floor of the Halle Building, 1228 Euclid Ave. The company declined to disclose how much space it has in its existing building in Garfield Heights, at 5309 Transportation Blvd. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170430/NEWS/170439990/nrp-group-planning-on-a-move-to-halle-building-by-end-of-year?X-IgnoreUserAgent=1

Cleveland: Random Development and News
Western Reserve's future may include Fred Geis In the latest sighting of real estate developer Fred Geis, he may play a part in helping even higher-profile developer John Ferchill resolve a foreclosure proceeding over the Western Reserve Building. Sources familiar with the situation have seen Geis and associates inspecting the eight-story downtown Cleveland landmark at 1462-1480 West Ninth Street dating from 1897. The property includes a contemporary office building the Ferchill-led Reserve Building Associates ownership group constructed in 1989 that connects to the landmark. Attorney Jon Pinney, who represents Ferchill, confirmed in a phone interview that Ferchill's Reserve Building Associates is negotiating a potential settlement with its lender that involves Geis. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170424/NEWS/170429915/western-reserves-future-may-include-fred-geis?platform=hootsuite

Cleveland: Ohio City: Development and News
Project 29 Joining Westside's High-End Apartment Boom, Stoking Neighborhood 'Growing Pains' The growing pains of Ohio City's commercial-residential interface are well worn territory for Cleveland's civic-minded base — and especially for those who actually live and work in the area. In the corner of Ohio City that some call "Hingetown," the question of how to negotiate neighborhood development is crystallized in the newest big-ticket project. The development team behind Project 29 landed before the Cleveland Planning Commission this morning, and, by most accounts, they're well on their way to securing approval for an 11-story, 163-unit mixed-use site on Detroit Avenue between West 29th and West 28th. The project proposes two buildings ("The Church" and "The State"), split by a walkway that would be used for anything from concerts to wedding receptions. It's backed by westside power couple Graham Veysey and Marika Shioiri-Clark. http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2017/04/21/project-29-joining-westsides-high-end-apartment-boom-stoking-neighborhood-growing-pains

Cleveland: Population Trends
There are a certain select few who consistently paint such a negative picture of our regional economy (both population wise and jobs wise), and put other metros on such a high pedestal. I am actually more optimistic now than ever. A LOT of people are retiring in NEO, and the fact of the matter is, they're going to move to Florida. They've had their hearts set on that since they started working. So what's going to happen, or should I say what is already happening is that this creates a lot of job opportunities for the younger generations to back fill those jobs. The negative here is that the growth is more of a replacement of the older workers as opposed to new job creation. I agree that is a bad thing; however, the upside is that these newcomers are going to increasingly settle in the city. Cleveland is basically going to mirror Pitt metro. Good concentration of high skilled jobs in and around the core, redeveloping urban neighborhoods, rapid decline in inner ring post war suburbs, and an overall economically stagnant outer metro (cities like Lorain, Y-town, Painesville, etc.). I hate the rhetoric of Detroit is doing so much better. They are not, and as the economy improves, only so many empty buildings will be rehabbed in their downtown. Eventually people are going to seek the Tremonts and Ohio Cities of Detroit which are virtually non existent. So as their economy begins to diversify like Pitt and CLE, the younger generation who do not relocate into the immediate downtown will have two choices, build new in an urban prairie with no amenities whatsoever or continue to settle in Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, Grosse Point, etc. It's not at all trying to paint a negative image, at least not on my part. I am one of the biggest supporters of NEO/Ohio on these type of forums. I am getting tired of watching Cleveland get passed up nationally and regionally. It's unacceptable, especially for what the region has to offer. It's called being a realist. The utopian view that Cleveland has few problems is not doing the city any justice. So my optimism is not nearly as high, forgive me. When I have to travel and see how other areas are doing, it gets even more frustrating. Cleveland is far behind. The Cleveland boosterism gets old, and this is coming from a big Cleveland booster. Being from Youngstown, I was a huge supporter of Cleveland, and still am to this day. I was a bigger fan of Cleveland than Pittsburgh, and still am to this day. I believe NEO is a far more attractive area to live than Western PA, and it's not nearly as backwards. But Pittsburgh is a far different city than Cleveland, and much healthier city. Go to Youngstown, the majority of the younger population prefers Pittsburgh, especially southern Mahoning and Columbiana Counties. It's going to take Cleveland a lot longer to comeback than Pittsburgh has. Pittsburgh's surrounding areas suffered the brunt of its economic collapse, whereas Cleveland was all in the city. The built environment is different, and so is the economics. Pittsburgh had Duquesne and PITT, Cleveland doesn't have that caliber of an institution to bring in tech companies. Case Western is a wonderful research university, but Pittsburgh has more, and they turned to their universities to turn the economy around. If Cleveland was truly in Pittsburgh's position of, well it's really just the old people retiring and we aren't seeing enough births or in-migration to offset the loses I would think Cleveland was pretty stable, but that's not the case. Cleveland is losing its educated workforce in large numbers. Facts do not lie. Again, economics at play. And if your comments are directed at me as far as Detroit goes, maybe I should come on here more often. There's not a lot of development news in Cleveland, so I do not pay too close attention to what is happening on this forum, but I have made those suggestions about Detroit before. Let's be real, Cleveland only has a small land area of the Tremonts and Ohio Citys, while huge swaths of Cleveland are doing terrible. A little background, I work closely with land banks throughout NEO, and the Ohio land banks have held their annual conference in Cleveland the last two years. In 2015 I went on a Slavic Village tour to check out how new plexiglass was being introduced to make homes look more attractive to rehabbers, and virtually impossible to break into. I sat next to a woman who worked heavily on neighborhood activities in SV. I asked her what she thought about the Opportunity Corridor and the impacts it may have on SV. She could not stop talking about the investment in Downtown and Ohio City and how so much of the rest of the city was forgotten about. Just like Detroit, only a few areas are being invested in. Downtown Detroit today is doing far more than downtown Cleveland, it's not even close. Do I think Detroit is a healthier city than Cleveland? No. Detroit is making huge progress though. And don't count Detroit out. The rebound is spreading much further than downtown into the Midtown area, so people are moving beyond those empty buildings downtown. And Detroit has some beautiful residential areas as well. On the other hand, Metro Detroit is healthier than Metro Cleveland. The two are always paired up next to each other, especially in news days like today when census numbers come out. "God forbid if you're like Detroit or Cleveland." Metro Detroit is growing. Metro Cleveland is not. That speaks volumes in itself. Cleveland is still heavily invested in manufacturing, so I don't see how Cleveland is even close to diversifying its economy like Pittsburgh. Cleveland is more like Detroit than Pittsburgh in economic recovery, minus the fact that Detroit has gained a far larger percentage of its jobs in the last year than Cleveland. It's not about being negative on Cleveland. It's about being tired of watching Cleveland accept the bare minimum and think things are going to move forward. Instead of just focusing on small areas of the city, move out and help areas with potential. It's there, but they're not getting the attention they deserve. Collinwood anyone? Don't tell me how I am suppose to respond about Cleveland. I have loved the city since I was a little kid looking down on Public Square from my aunt's office window in the 55 building. I have supported Cleveland far more than Pittsburgh, a city I grew up closer to. I see Cleveland's potential, and I know great things can happen, but I am so tired of a mediocre attitude from an economic development standpoint. If Cleveland wants its population to grow again, there's a lot more needed than just investing in Downtown, OC, and Tremont. Pittsburgh isn't doing as well as you seem to think it is... https://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.pa_pittsburgh_msa.htm http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/09/27/pittsburgh-region-leads-in-job-loss-in-latest-economic-reports/ http://www.post-gazette.com/local/region/2016/03/24/Census-shows-population-decline-in-Pittsburgh-region/stories/201603240067 Wait, that's all you have? I already recognized Pittsburgh is declining in population, but their population dynamics are different than Cleveland's. You're painting Pittsburgh with too broad of a brush. You're pulling out monthly data reports/articles. Look at what Pittsburgh has done in the last 15 years and get back to me. Take a walk through Pittsburgh and notice how much more lively the city is than Cleveland and get back to me. I will be the first to tell you, there is a lot Western PA that is extremely undesirable, but the city of Pittsburgh is not. Look at Cleveland versus Detroit and Pittsburgh in this chart... only one isn't doing well. Detroit and Pittsburgh are seeing rebounds, Cleveland not so much: http://www.newgeography.com/content/005557-detroits-recovery-oh-yeah-its-real-alright Detroit and Pittsburgh haven't rebounded any more or less than Cleveland. Your puff piece proves nothing. Wayne Co has lost 70k residents since 2010. Yeah, that's booming...
