  1. I'd believe it. Most cities built more than we have over the last 5 years or so. Makes it easy to find a place when demand flattens. Cleveland is catching up though. There's about as many units under construction downtown as the last 3 years combined. Oh, and welcome back!
  2. There are 3 streets in/out of Scranton Peninsula, not 1. And eventually I'd like to see the city rebuild the Eagle Ave bridge, which would make 4. The rail right-of-way cutting through the middle of the peninsula will be an impediment to a true street grid, but that doesn't mean you can't emulate it.
  3. Agreed. I hoped they would aim higher than just 200 units on 7+ acres of land. A parcel that size is begging to be broken into phases.
  4. What NRP proposed was far worse than our already low expectations of them. Glad to see the city feel the same way. The entire peninsula needs a master plan to guide how these projects are going to relate to each other. Just selling it off in large chunks to different developers will inevitably lead to a mess.
  5. The out of state CEO strikes again. https://www.crainscleveland.com/scott-suttell-blog/viewray-inc-looks-west-future-growth
  6. Love this project. It's exactly the kind of mid-size density that we should be building up and down the Euclid corridor (and a hundred other places too).

    ^ J Roc is putting another Limelight coworking space in their Electric Gardens building proposed for Tremont. At 8000 square feet it'll be a little larger than the one in Ohio City which is just under 5000.
  8. Why the hell do they need to close yet another street for this projects?
  9. Ground floor of the garage.

    $20 billion in real estate development. What bizzarro world are you living in?

    The height restrictions around Burke are largely overstated, if for nothing else than the economics of new construction in Cleveland. It's unlikely we'd see something taller than 11 stories here regardless.
  12. A couple things missing and a couple corrections: New Construction Proposed * West 11 and Fairfield Ave 75 unit apartment building proposed in 2017 https://www.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2017/04/property_owner_plans_75-unit_a.html https://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170825/news/133501/tremont-stays-hot-will-add-apartments * Washington Inn Housing in Little Italy Denied at Landmark commission but the project isn't dead https://forum.urbanohio.com/topic/994-cleveland-little-italy-development-and-news/page/24/?tab=comments#comment-889994 https://www.cleveland.com/business/2019/05/little-italy-apartment-proposal-sparks-residents-opposition-saying-respect-the-neighborhood.html New Under Construction * West 5th and Jefferson -- Started construction last year. Project is well underway * The Tappen on Scranton Ave -- Started construction this past April. * West 19th and Freeman Ave -- Started construction last year. Project is well underway 29 townhomes south of the animal clinic by Knez, "West Nineteen" https://www.knez.net/neighborhoods/west-nineteen-7076 * Uptown Phase 3 in University Circle -- Construction started earlier this year Under Construction Renovation * Zion Church renovation into Apartments by Brickhaus Development https://www.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2017/05/tremonts_zion_church_150-years.html Infrastructure Parks * Towpath Stage 3 from Steelyard to Literary -- Completed this Spring * Towpath Stage 4 from Literary to Carter Rd -- Groundbreaking in June, technically "under construction" but not much to see yet
  13. Looks to me like they have. The panels are slightly reflective, so the light colored panels pick up a lot of blue from the sky.
  14. Even the Edison phase 2 NRP proposed last year had a parking garage instead of surface lots, and a lot more units. That project was ugly but at least had a decent site plan.
  15. The wife and I were sitting in the Memorial Plaza (Mall A) right behind the stage when the concert started. Couldn't agree more, the Malls and convention center were the perfect place for this.
  16. @bdaily posted his own heat map yesterday. There are points on his map that aren't on this one. A few larger Tremont projects for example: 1. West 5th and Jefferson -- 10 new townhomes + renovation of mixed use building into 6 condos plus storefront. 2. Grosvenor Place at West 7th and Jefferson Ave -- 21 unit apartment building 3. 11 Fairfield at West 11th and Fairfield Ave -- 75 unit apartment building Might be worth combining the effort.
  17. What's a good size cutoff for projects to get on the map?
  18. I've never seen a project get so much community input, and have people still express that their voices aren't being heard.
  19. The old Byzantine Catholic Church at Kenilworth and W.14th changed hands last week. The church, parking lot, and house make up a shade over a half-acre. The new owner is "1415 KENILWORTH, LLC". A quick lookup on the statutory agent shows they also registered a "IRG Investment Partners LLC" the same day. It could just be a coincidence but Integrity Realty Group owns the brick apartment building catty-corner on W.14th. They seem to own a mix of aging complexes across the region, no new construction. I'm not hopeful for something substantial going in here, but who knows.
  20. I'd be surprised. Those lots are owned by Ignatius.
  21. I don't get the appeal. The only traffic circles I've found tolerable were in small towns with low traffic allowing a tight circle. You couldn't pay me to ride a bike around a busy circle. There are just far too many people in cars incapable of navigating them. I'd rather trust a traffic light.
  22. I'd be surprised if the city gave Stark $12 million to build a parking garage. The terms of the grant were that it would be "repaid" from income and other taxes generated onsite. That won't happen just from the garage and retail. The office space and residential are key components of that. P.S. I wish people would quit calling it a loan.
  23. True. The list was meant to draw attention away from the flashy projects like nuCLEus amd Market Square to show how most of the great stuff happening was neighborhood level stuff. I can add it -- it fits the criteria otherwise. Though I think it's farther off than most.
  24. You caught me before the edit. I forgot about that one. I removed the qualifier low or mid-rise. This is pretty much every new project announced in the last year.
