That video got me pumped! I'm ready for Friday!!

^ It looks like the two guys in the lower right are debating the same thing

^ Of course it was pivotal. Their goal is to have the apartment building ready to lease by summertime. It would be a little harder to lease the apartments in the middle of winter with freezing blasts of wind coming off the lake!

Wow, there are some priceless pics in that album! I couldn't stop scrolling threw those and thinking "man I really wish those buildings were still around!" The rotunda still looks like it has a bit of cleaning left to go. I'm also glad that the twin Breuer tower was never built which meant more structures would have been demolished and lost forever.

How do these numbers look? Does anyone live at these places and can provide their apartment size and rent for confirmation? All the info I grabbed was for one bedroom units. I'm using this for a school project. Now that I'm thinking about it, it would be cool if I added in the number of units. I'm not sure where I would find that data though.

I manually pulled data last night by looking at various apartments and taking the average size and rental cost. I actually came up with $1.20. I'll post it when I'm home this weekend. Lots of good info, I love this forum!

Does anyone know or have a breakdown of the current rental rates per sqft for the various apartment buildings downtown? I'm curious how close we are getting to hitting the magical $2.25-$2.50 per sqft to justify new construction. I know the average rent for the 9 will be about $2.00 but they are also going to have higher overhead to cover.

I'm pretty sure that would all just be wasted breath anyways but should'nt be much longer till we find out once and for all. I personally prefer the rock gym over Brickman's

Your daily pictures are awesome, keep it up! :clap: It really shows how quick they are moving along.

So if/when this gets built, will the credit go to the Health Line or Opportunity Corridor??? :wtf:

Are those old car guard rails getting updated in the parking garage? They look so old and ugly! My eyes go right to them whenever I'm walking or driving by.

Is the prison population included into the DCA downtown population number of 12K?

I propose starting a movement for "Fence War of Public Square" round 2! It is interesting to know that there was such a strong push (150 years ago!) to close the roads going through Public Square and to create a "great central park. http://ech.case.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=FWOPS

I noticed a worker power washing the Euclid side of the Rotunda last night

Yes, I completely agree!!

Yeah, when they tore down that corner in late 2012 it's been a terrible eyesore ever since. That gas station was "remodeled" in 2009, IIRC. At least Enhance Clifton is finally in real progress after years and years of waiting. By fall, there will be a much needed facelift to the streetscape. Fingers crossed on the church repurposing. It seemed that it was beyond the point of economically viable repair. Kudos to the folks who searched for viable options! My only hope is that the church plan doesn't make it easier to let the rest of the site become another strip mall. There seems to be too many factions all working towards something different here. Everyone needs to combine forces. Wow, I'm impressed, they are serious! The PDF says that the neighborhood is concerned about the rezoning and it setting up future commercial developments. However, the gym would be rezoned to a recreational use. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zy4rzcfoholcbn3/The%20Sanctuary%20at%20Edgewater%20Proposal_3.27.14.pdf

How far do these columns go into the ground? I know at the CC hotel the caissons go 200ft deep, but this building will obviously not be anywhere near CC hotel height...

Why is there a square cut out of the surface parking lot? You can also see it on the design layout from Reply #4972. Any ideas?

Pictures?? :-D

Anyone heard any updates on this? The only thing I've seen is a quick mention here (planning stages): http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/more-on-tap-think-cleveland-has-a-lot-of-breweries-just-wait-more-will-be-opening-their-doors-this-year/Content?oid=3847155

^ctownballr2 :wink:

Sounds like the hotel project should be moving right along now

^Cool, thanks! I always learn something new on UO :-D

Nice! More pictures the better!! I asked on FB about the construction camera and this was the response: "Thanks for checking in. The construction cam will be released at the completion of Phase II. If any footage becomes available any earlier, we'll be sure to post it." So it doesn't sound like they will have a live camera like they did for phase one :-(

What do the Area District and Height District codes mean? I am not familiar with zoning laws.
