These are great @MayDay where do you go to best access this part of the towpath?

This is just stunning. Love the awning work.

That is a sharp building... really like the design and how it incorporates the existing building(s).

I don't hate this- and wonder if its actually a good idea. It gives the market time to absorb more apartments that are currently being added to the market. Who knows, by the time they are ready to think about building the second tower maybe condos would make sense!

Idk...I feel like this is going to be good? I have opened tequila and am waiting ?

And yet.... it is the people who are doing the May Co. renovation. So I am torn!

Certainly will be an improvement to the "Casino Welcome Center" which features broken trees and streetlights on its sidewalks.

Definitely better than looking at a garage, ... I like that the entire thing aside from the entrances will be mostly hidden but very curious to see how this will look at night, with the proposed "projection" system

Ill see if I can get an update before it gets dark ? Edit: I needed some air so here you go. Still a tough go ahead but it does look like it’s helping!

Does this kill whatever they had planned on the Spaghetti lot? Or delay it?

Wow that is really nice... LOVE the outdoor space. I live at the Halle Building and while I love the units, the huge windows and the location I WISH so badly they would've designed outdoor space on the roof. All the nearby buildings have rooftops (CAC, Statler, and soon to be JHB)

Looks like most of the facade work is completed!

While unfortunate, not really that surprising given the situation. Hopefully things are able to progress in the near future.

^ That is infuriating ?

While taking a walk today lamenting no baseball (a warm opening day!? come on!) I saw this cool view highlighting how a good scrubbing can transform the back of a building (CAC). Perhaps a preview of what the unfinished sides of 925 Euclid will look like.

This seemed like a decent place to put these, I wasn't sure. I came across these fascinating photos tonight after having not seen them in a long time. These were taken in 1973 (I believe) by my Grandpa. He and my Grandma took my mom, who was 11 at the time, on a trip to Europe to tour the Bible Lands with a group. They lived in California at the time, where I grew up, so had to fly to NYC first and took a tour there. Here as you can see, are the twin towers still under construction. Pretty incredible photos... I couldn't believe them when I first saw them. Sobering.

Driving onto the Shoreway from Downtown heading west the other day I was blown away by the impact of Church & State, as well as the Quarter. The density is amazing from that view! C&S seems way taller than it is. Very impactful architecture.

I just cannot stop gawking at these renderings... what stunning design highlighting all the original beauty and detail of the original building. At the same time everything new, from the proposed canopies outside to the design of the interior fits so flawlessly with the character of the space and even manages to elevate it MORE. I can't wait to see how this comes to life. And I cannot help but cringe at what a "Miami Beach flair" might have done to this building ... (anyone remember that? ?) ... very glad Sinitio's designers have good taste lol

Landing a JW would be big, there aren’t that many. I would think this would help spur some retail development in this part of downtown, such as the corner of the Schofield and all the new empty storefronts going towards Playhouse Square. I usually am all for preserving the original architecture but in this case the addition of the chandeliers is stunning. Will that be allowed under the rules for historic tax credits?

Same logo as Saitanos @ Rivergate - must be a new venture for them

Good news!! "'Old Public Square building's next life may loom' Downtown Cleveland real estate developer Frank Sinito's Millennia Cos. is about to break its long silence about plans to convert 75 Public Square to apartments from offices. Millennia is on the agenda to appear before the Downtown/Flats Design Review Committee meeting on Thursday, March 19, for final architectural approval of its plans to transform the Italianate building to 114 multifamily units. Among the multitude of changes, one of the most striking from the outside will be stripping red granite sheets from the building's front entrance. The shiny stone sheets were added in the 1950s to make the classically styled building look modern. The granite will be replaced by terracotta and bricks to re-create the building's early storefronts facing Public Square..." https://www.crainscleveland.com/real-estate/old-public-square-buildings-next-life-may-loom

I think he probably went to Twitter to bring awareness to the fact that the City is ignoring him. I'm sure he has tried to contact them through the appropriate means first.

Rocco Whalen has been tweeting about this for a week or so... unsurprisingly it sounds like he's getting no response or acknowledgement from the City regarding his ideas for the market...

Looks like they are installing what will be attaching the panels to the garage.
