If Sherwin-Williams hopes to start this summer (according to their FAQ) we might see massings by March, then renderings in June. You don't get this far in the process without an idea of programming on each site. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a concept massing from Vocon sooner than later For comparison we got massings from Stark for nuCLEus in the fall 2014 to get conceptual approval from the planning commission, then actual renderings in January 2015 for design approval.

I've found the coordinated leaks pretty interesting. When KJP didn't bite on the source feeding him the Breckville story, it went to a WKYC reporter. Not to say the story isn't true (I have no idea), but the back and forth on the various R&D locations stinks of negotiation tactics. The HQ complex should be more employees than the original HQ+R&D site so I guess it is still a plus for Cleveland. But can't help but swallow the bitter pill. Hopefully developing the riverfront wasn't a once in a lifetime opportunity.

One more missing that is under construction. * Snavely phase 3 at 2615 Detroit Ave., 79 apartments over retail, plus renovation of the adjacent Painters Union building. https://www.crainscleveland.com/real-estate/quarters-next-step-looms

These are now under construction * The Avian on Scranton Peninsula. Note, this is listed as new construction on the map. It's a renovation. * Grosvenor Place in Tremont * Electric Gardens in Tremont There's also a bunch missing. In particular around Battery Park. * Zion Church renovation into Apartments by Brickhaus Development https://www.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2017/05/tremonts_zion_church_150-years.html * West 19th and Freeman Ave -- Started construction last year.

Cleveland.com posted an article about the BZA meeting yesterday. They posted a couple low res pics showing the updated design. The garage entry is on the side now instead of the middle of the building. The article notes it may have to go back to the Landmark Commission because of the changes, so we should see more renderings soon. https://www.cleveland.com/business/2020/02/controversial-little-italy-apartment-project-moves-forward-with-favorable-board-of-zoning-appeals-ruling.html

Are TIF'ed properties still paying into the SID?

Yeah very cool. Hopefully more like this can get built so its no longer a big deal when they get built!

Any development along the riverfront and Huron would include a total reconstruction of Canal road. It's current state is irrelevant. Why vacate another street for no reason? It's 180 feet between the Huron and Canal Road right-of-way. That is more than enough for an office building. There's no reason to vacate it other than "well, Sherwin Williams supposedly wants it".

I almost don't believe my eyes. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2020/01/27/cleveland-city-councilwoman-dona-brady-is-stepping-down

Sounds like he was just making a joke because of the reaction last offseason after he said to enjoy the time with Lindor.

Again with the "campus style" verbiage.

It was so nice not caring about the draft for at least that one year.

Looks good. It's great these projects are starting to spill outside the usual neighborhoods. More pics here: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/drcagenda/2020/01172020/index.php

That looks great. Love the depth from the inset windows.

I'm excited to see another residential highrise, and won't complain if it's built exactly as pictured since Cleveland doesn't have anything like it. But it looks like every highrise built in Nashville, Austin, Minneapolis, or wherever. Dime a dozen crap.

He can build past the mapped setback if it's adjacent to a non conforming structure like the church next door, but it has to angle back toward the setback line 100(?) feet away. Judging by the odd angle this building sits in the renderings, I wonder if that's what they were trying to do. Surprised they got dinged with a variance notice for that.

Swagelok just started construction on their new headquarters in Solon a couple months ago. Maybe you're confusing them with a different company?

These haven't been posted yet. The pics of Electric Gardens (at Literary and University Roads) posted last year I guess were just proofs-of-concept(?). They've since signed LDA as architect of record. Here's a couple pics from their website. It's definitely bold. https://www.ldaarchitecture.com/electric-gardens

First shoe drops in Gateway district.

Term limits would help get rid of some of the long term council members that are dug into their wards.

The Mike McCarthy-less Packers won 13 games this year. I'd caution anybody interviewing him for another job. I'd take Rivera over him for sure.

That's great news. Love to see more coworking space. We definitely need more of it. This is oddly worded though: Spaces won't occupy the space, just lease it out. It could conceivably stay vacant, just leased and paid-for by Spaces.

Per Mike Silver. Got it.
