Here is a list of all the new developments announced in the last 12 months. Keeping the list to projects officially announced and gone to city design review at least once, so it doesn't include the Carnegie W.25th RTA project and the Detroit/Wheat Court midrise KJP scooped a few weeks ago, and a couple historic renovations. I know Dexter Place and Tappen are under construction. Any of the others from last year? 2018 Dexter Place (Franklin and W.28th, Ohio City) Tappen (Scranton and Barber Rd, Tremont) Edison phase 2 (W.58th and Breakwater, Detroit Shoreway) Uptown 3 Student Housing (Euclid and E.115th, University Circle/Uptown) Cle. Institute of Music Student Housing (Hazel and Magnolia Dr, University Circle) Market Square (W.25th and Lorain, Ohio City) 2019 Shoreway/South Marginal (E.55th and S. Marginal Rd, Goodrich-Kirtland Park) Snavely phase 3 (Detroit and W.28th, Ohio City) Shoreline phase 2 (N.Marginal and E.55th, Goodrich-Kirtland Park) Electric Gardens (Literary Rd and W.4th, Tremont) Hough-Ansel Residences (Hough and Ansel Rd, Hough) Washington Inn Housing (Mayfield Hill and Cornell Rd, Little Italy) Library Loft (Euclid Ave and Stokes Blvd, University Circle)

Knez's Jekyll and Hyde continues. These are reasonably attractive and more substantial from the street, compared to phase 1 going up next door. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/drcagenda/2019/06212019/DF-DRAC-agenda-6-20-19.pdf

^ The concrete pour has been the same day they install the conduit, every floor. So if you see the piping being installed during the day, that means the pour will be later in the afternoon.

If anything, the windows look narrower in the updated pics. The conceptual design from April had little detail, but a few of the images showed how the big the windows were going to be (huge).

The Shoreline Phase II next to Quay 55 is back for conceptual design approval. 214 apartments and around 400 new parking spaces. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/drcagenda/2019/06072019/index.php

Everybody's favorite apartment building is back for design approval. The colors are different and the facade was tweaked for more variety. I like the updated design better, but I kind of miss the all white. The vertical nature of the design get lost in all the dark color. Still looks good, IMO. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/drcagenda/2019/06072019/index.php

Didn't they fundraise under the auspices the land would remain green space?

^ Nice idea, but I'd much rather see all that vacant space developed with mixed use right up to the current sidewalk, like E 55th. and Hamlet Ave in Slavic Village:

Nice! I remember townhomes were planned for 4005 Detroit a couple years ago. They were listed on MLS for a second, then disappeared. With all the development nearby I assumed the project would come back much bigger.

edit: nm

Allard gets a lot of hate, but I'd rather have somebody bringing to light how these projects are financed. The other outlets haven't covered it whatsoever. Now if you want to debate the merits of the subsidy I'm all for that.

I was driving up West 25th yesterday behind a semi truck with large John Deere combine on the trailer. Looked brand new. I didn't follow it past Lorain but I assume it was heading to the port. Not really news, just thought it was an unusual site driving through market square. ?

After reading the link, this was my thought too. I'm glad only 20 of the 250 acres will be set aside for commercial. That stretch of Aurora Road already has quite a lot of new retail. Not sure it needs another strip mall.

*without clicking the link* Lemme guess. A retail/lifestyle center?

I'm wary of people fighting against new development when they own rental property in the neighborhood.

Making either the brick or aluminum something other than white would help. The blocking is lost in all the white. Otherwise I like the design more the more I look at it.

The project is also scheduled to go back to city landmarks on Thursday. There is an updated site plan with tweaked renderings. It shows the northern section behind the houses to be renovated is now 3 stories, not 4. The part fronting Cornell looks unchanged. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/landmark/agenda/2019/05092019/index.php

Here are larger pics of the Snavely phase 3 project at 2601-2719 Detroit Avenue. Taken from this week's landmark agenda. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/landmark/agenda/2019/05092019/index.php

^ I wondered if that was the case with Brickhaus. This project is still listed on their website. http://www.brickhauspartners.com/communities/ohio-city/

I like they decided to push the apartment floors to the sidewalk instead of setting them back to show the library. Feels more substantial that way. The design is inoffensive, no wonder it was approved.

Don't worry, this project will get dumbed down to your standard generic modernism. Somebody has to explain to me the context of the neighborhood. Maybe a bunch of cement board and EIFS to match Bergen Village? http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/brd/detailDR.php?ID=3137&CASE=NW 2019-005 Date: April 19, 2019 Committee: Staff Action Type: Revised Plan Submission Conditions/Notes: A dynamic color palette and natural materials are recommended for the exterior finish. Date: April 24, 2019 Committee: Local Design Review Committee Action Type: Conceptual Approval Conditions: Approved conceptually with the condition of revisiting the exterior design. The exterior design should reinforce the conceptual block massing shown initially in the presentation. The heavy use of vertical elements means the massing articulation is lost and is not compatible with the neighborhood context. The parking garage must be fully screened from the Towpath Trail.

These look a bit better than the designs posted in March. If anything the panorama makes Alleycat the outlier, not these new buildings which look more substantial on the waterfront.

What is that interior facade material? Is that wood or metal?
