Maybe "The Ivy" is closer to opening than we think!!! Following Months of Renovation, The Ivy Readies to Open in Former Liquid Space in Warehouse District Liquid, a mainstay of the Warehouse District nightlife scene for 24 years, closed its doors for good last June. Following months of construction and renovation, that venue’s replacement will open on or around April 19, according to management. When it does open, The Ivy (1212 W. Sixth St.) will usher in a new option for dining, entertainment and nightlife for West Sixth Street. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2019/03/20/following-months-of-renovation-the-ivy-readies-to-open-in-former-liquid-space-in-warehouse-district

I walked by there at during lunch yesterday. You can see a bar and some tables & chairs set up inside, but it also looks like they're in "mid-construction". Hopefully they can get things figured out / finished up and re-open. But it's not looking all that promising with it being over 6 mos past their re-opening!!!

So The Century Federal Credit Union did move down to the 1st floor of the Landmark Building. But it's in a totally different spot (with no outside access), than I thought it would be in. So it really doesn't help the area look more "lively". ?

At first this seems like a strange street to make "pedestrian only". But I'd imagine there were similar thoughts when they first suggested converting E.4th to "pedestrian only". Hopefully this would encourage some retail to open up in a few of the spots on the east side of W.2nd in the Midland Building. Or even another restaurant in the old Hard Rock spot on the corner of W.2nd and Huron. If a restaurant opens there, and the street is "pedestrian only" they could have a decent outdoor patio along W.2nd

Here's a pic from today of a different angle of the building. It's nice to see that some of the facade is visible from farther away!!!

I also think it's going to be a strange transition from the glass, then a space, and then the bottom floor of the building. Although maybe it looks a bit odd now because of the white tarps that are up. When the tarps are down it'll be a black space there and hopefully wont stand out as much.

I just heard that The Century Federal Credit Union is moving it's branch and ATM from the 9th floor of the Landmark Building down to the 1st floor. They should be moved in by mid-March. It'll be nice to see something there on the corner of Ontario and Prospect!!! A bit more "life" in that area.

I worked in this building years ago. Nice to see it get some updates!!!

Ahhh, ok makes more sense ...

I knew they had some layoffs and a few hiring freezes over the past couple of years. But having their HQ building on the market definitely seems like a bad sign!!

This is from a couple of days ago, but they're starting to put the glass up on the south side of the Q (the side that faces Progressive Field).

Aren't they're going to shut the Q down again this summer with the plan to have things finished up by the start of next NBA season??

The issue I had and was referring to was in the FEB on Fri / Sat nights.

I think they also don't allow on-street parking in the area after midnight. Which in some respects seems like a good idea to keep traffic flowing. But it's also a hassle to head down there at 9pm/10pm, park on the street and then have to remember to go out and move your car somewhere else before midnight and then head back to wherever you were for another hour or so.

Yea, this would definitely change that whole area!!!

Depending on what's going on in the area, it also occasionally happens when heading down to the bars on a Fri / Sat night. But that being said, we've always found parking down in the general area. It's just sometimes a slow go getting down there.

Looks like some new windows have started going in on the Prospect side!!! I cant wait to see the windows on the lower floors.

I saw some big crates out next to the Q a couple of days ago and thought it might be some of the new glass ... And I was right. This morning I saw them installing the first pieces of the glass!!! It's looking good!!!

This doesn't seem like a very big building for CSU to use as additional housing. Wonder how many units they'll get out of this building??

Yep, it's open. I walked thru there on Friday!!!

It just means we're one step closer to getting people living in the building!!! ?

Yep, I realize it was going to be remodeled / rebranded and the reopened. But it was just way past the scheduled reopen date. I was interested in seeing the new place and was hoping that it wasn't gonna be closed for good.

Yea I agree. Just a bit concerning that there dosen't seem to be much activity going on in / around the building recently.

Any idea what's going on with the Liquid remodel?? They apparently missed their "Late Summer" reopen ... During the summer I saw work being done when I would occasionally walk by, but I haven't seen anything being done there recently.
