  1. They can't emulate historic materials? There should be more brick facades along Lorain, not less. How did they feel about this atrocity? http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/landmark/agenda/2016/10132016/image/West_47_&_Lorain_08.jpg
  2. No, it's the apartment building and garage (and hotel?) shown in KJP's post in February: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,13381.msg791041.html#msg791041
  3. Hopefully this design doesn't get through design review.
  4. Seeing people stand next to the church provides scale that I never noticed before. Its much larger than I thought. And look at those 2 foot thick brick walls.
  5. A quick blurb about Brickhaus' "OneWest20" project at 20th and Lorain: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20161009/NEWS/161009825/realty-buyer-dan-siegel-turns-developer

    And it's final. Tribe win game one 5-4. Francona burned through the best of our bullpen. I hope Kluber eats up some innings tomorrow.
  7. ^ Milennia Companies is buying (bought?) the Key Tower and will be moving their headquarters there.
  8. Small update to the article earlier this year about CSU possibly replacing the Wolstein center. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/09/cleveland_state_to_seek_propos.html [edit] Fixed list of developer groups
  9. Construction update on a couple projects in Ohio City. Here is the 4 story apartment building on Clinton Avenue. They are still working on the foundation and underground parking. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2016/05/clinton_avenue_project_will_ad.html And a couple shots of the "Edge32" apartments at West 32nd and Detroit. This is much farther along. http://livingonedge32.com http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,2492.msg737998.html#msg737998
  10. The pedestrian retail overlay on the south side of Lorain stops right at the Fairview parking lot. I'm sure that is no coincidence. Here is the map if you want to check it out. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/gis/cpc/basemap.jsp The neighbor's only hope is to prevent the city from re-zoning the mixed use building, which is currently zoned for multi-family like the houses next to it. It would have to be rezoned to retail like the parking lot and other buildings east. Here is a better map. You can also see the PRO with this map. http://clevelandgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=a85a5285f3a949e991e0f086527604b7

    That is embarrassing.
  12. This project is on the BZA docket next week for variances. 340 feet? Not too shabby. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/bza/agenda/2016/crr09-26-2016.pdf
  13. The renovation of the Ace Fixtures building is a nice surprise. It should look great with the windows opened back up. Here is street view from 2009. Before anybody asks, the 3 story structure on the left was demolished somewhere around 2010-ish.
  14. Articulated bus? Guessing based on the context.
  15. Yes they were posted by me. :-P http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,14187.msg775750.html#msg775750 I was just wondering if there was any progress since then. I haven't been in PHS for a while.
  16. There is a thread in the abandoned project subforum about TOD at the Brookpark station started in 2004 (!). http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,1790.0.html
  17. (and Barrio) Dumbledore[/member], there is small 3 story building right next door to the Crestwell. Last time I was downtown it looks like they were restoring the facade. Did you happen to see if there was any progress?
  18. Maybe because we continually allow developers to front surface parking and garages along Carnegie? Between this, The Edge apartment building, and CSU CIMP building thats 3 blocks in 2 years that added parking where there was none or added structured spaces along Carnegie. You said we should wait for the momentum to build first. Please let us know when we are allowed to complain about poor land use patterns.
  19. The original images showed rust/red panels covering the columns between the glass. It was subtle but did a good job connecting the top and bottom. Maybe it was nixed? I like the design either way. And I'm already jealous of whoever lives on the balcony floor.
  20. Yeah the Carnegie experience was enhanced into a permanent dead zone. The garage should have been oriented east/west in the middle of the parcel so something could eventually be built on Carnegie. It would have minimized the impact of the garage from the sidewalk. Hell, it would have even made the walk shorter to the office building.
  21. ^ Interesting. Stark got schematic design approval back in July according to Michelle's article link). I wonder what changed.
  22. There is a reason the thread title is what it is. And I don't think anybody in Cleveland would disagree with you.
  23. Cool, thanks for the info.
