Paul in Cleveland

It was not as of midday on Wednesday ...

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but wasn't sure where to ask this. We see this view of 75 Erieview every day from our offices, and I've often wondered what the small section of red squares was about. The first time I noticed it (years ago), I wondered if it was a test to see whether they wanted to paint the whole facade red (obviously not, as it's stayed this way). Now I don't know if I'd care for an entire red facade, but I do think the red is interesting — and could work if it were a little more widespread. Seems sort of random the way they have it. A coworker wondered if it was to memorialize Aliza Sherman, who was murdered nearby a few years ago, but it seems really unlikely to me that a building owner would be okay with that sort of thing. Not a great way to attract new tenants. Anyway, if anyone knows more, I'd appreciate the insight. ??

From Tuesday afternoon the 22nd. Looking good from all angles!

KJP ... as to the design of the main tower, do they just have an architect hired — and if so, who? You made a comment a while back about how sources said it will be new architecture to Cleveland, so that makes me think they do have a firm hired.

Missing side panels finally being installed ... from today at lunchtime.

From today / 26th floor of 1111 Superior.

I wasn't told anything more than there may be movement on it soon. I could tell that the person wasn't willing/able to share any more so I didn't push it. Especially in a casual, party setting. ?

They didn't say, but my impression was more a land bridge ... based on the entirety of our conversation.

So there may be movement on some sort of lakefront bridge soon. That's all I know, but it comes from a very credible, high-on-the-food-chain source. I got the impression that something new was involved.

Thanks!! You rock!

Urgent request ... can somebody find me a pic of that old design competition entry for bridging the Shoreway from about a decade ago ... the one with the wavy/undulating white steps that almost evoked a Santiago Calatrava Design? I’m at a party with a high ranking city official and we are chatting about projects. I brought that old design up and he said he didn’t recall it. Thanks!

I had the exact same thought/concern!

From this morning ...

Work continuing this morning ...

Crane jump proceeding today. Some views from the ground and 26th floor of 1111 Superior.

This will be fun to cover from our offices ... also, an update from the east side of the building, too. ?

I had caught the 4, 3, 2, 1 pattern in the rendering, and that's why I took that upward looking photo (the last of my batch above), to try and figure out how it was going to match that. It now seems more random, which is disappointing.

From yesterday.

Framing now going up ...

Well, she's now above the horizon line for us here on the 26th floor of 1111 Superior! Taken this morning.
