Geis Cos. unveils plan for $51 million office complex at former Ohio Knitting Mills building site By JAY MILLER December 02, 2014 3:20 PM The Geis Cos., developer of the Midtown Tech Park, is taking on another new development along Cleveland’s Health-Tech Corridor. At a Cleveland City Council committee meeting on Tuesday morning, Dec. 2, Fred Geis, a partner in the Geis Cos. and its Hemingway Development affiliate, described plans to build a three-building, $51 million office and lab complex on the site of the former Ohio Knitting Mills building at East 55th Street and Euclid Avenue. www.crainscleveland.com/article/20141202/FREE/141209949#email_daily

Playhouse Square gets $10 million gift for its 'Advancing the Legacy' capital campaign CLEVELAND, Ohio – Playhouse Square announced the biggest gift to its $100 million capital and endowment campaign to date on Tuesday: $10 million from the Richard J.

Does anyone have any pictures of what used to be here before it was built?

"The restoration of the vacant, historic John Hartness Brown building on Cleveland’s Euclid Avenue has passed the environmental cleanup stage and is well on its way to a projected January 2016 grand opening." How likely is it that they will meet this opening date?

Campus district? http://www.campusdistrict.org/find-us

So check this out - I think this project is priced in 2 phases. If you search for Cleveland projects here: http://www.constructionwire.com - you'll see that there were 2 listed in early November. One new construction "Parking Structures, Hotels/Motels/Resorts, Conventions/Arenas" project listed for $272 million and one new construction "Hotels/Motels/Resorts, Residential - MultiFamily (Apartments/Condos)" for $300 million. $572 million sounds more realistic for a project like this. I was snooping around on that site earlier in the month and it allowed me to look at each project listing on a map. I think I remember both of these 2 projects being listed at the NuCLEus site. Phase 1 being the parking and some retail components and Phase 2 being the larger tower. For some reason, I no longer have the option to view the projects on the map and I don't have an account so oh well. $272M is the same price tag for the Convention Center Hotel and the stage is currently listed as "construction". The $300M project is listed as "Approval and Planning (Active)". So I'm guessing that the one is the CC Hotel and the other is NuCLEus, just my guess.

Maybe they plan to have lots of the $23K conference tables like they did at the Juvenile Justice Center? :wtf: But still, furnishing that building came in at $4.2M http://www.cleveland.com/cuyahoga-county/index.ssf/2011/03/cuyahoga_officials_criticize_pricey_furnishings_for_new_juvenile_justice_center.html

Amtrak asks feds to investigate Norfolk Southern, CSX, over train delays CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Amtrak today asked the federal government to investigate Norfolk Southern Railway and CSX Transportation for "causing unacceptable delays for passengers" traveling on the Capitol Limited, which runs through Cleveland on its route between Chicago and Washington, D.C. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2014/11/amtrak_asks_feds_to_investigat.html#incart_river

Dang... Well, at least Gordon is coming back Monday. Even if his routes are rusty, I'd just have him run streaks down the field to draw attention and open up our other receivers.

For you height junkies: "the columns will rise more than 400 feet in the air"

Bucket by bucket, the Cuyahoga County Convention Center hotel is climbing upward When it comes to building skyscrapers, the typical image that comes to mind is that of a steel beam swinging into place on a steel skeleton for the building. However, tall buildings actually may use steel or concrete structural systems. At the Cuyahoga County Convention Center Hotel project in downtown Cleveland, the low-rise entrances, banquet rooms and amenities are going in a structural steel podium of four stories. But the 32-floor part of the hotel that will house guests is going up with concrete cast in place on the site at Ontario Street and Euclid Avenue.

A couple of questions that I have which might not necessarily or could impact the project: 1: Could the recent elections, including the new Cuyahoga county executive, impact the financing offered to Stark? 2: Will the "no orange barrels during the RNC" impact/slow the start of upcoming projects?

How long would it take to drive up 13 floors to park? Round and round and round...haha

Can I hang out with you for a Saturday? :wink:

The scoreboard (5,500 Sqft) is 700 Sqft larger than most Lakewood lots!!

What buildings do the KoC own on this block and which are they located in?

So this is a private company? The website doesn't really make it clear what bars and at what times they plan to arrive. I think its a cool idea and I'll probably use it. It would be awesome if they develop an app that tracks the bus so you can see where it currently is and then could estimate when to expect it to arrive.

What is the building called that the Clevelander is located in? I've also thought it was an interesting building. Also, was this sign on a recent design review? I like the sign but I didn't realize that they were getting one. Surprised I didn't see it posted on here, unless I probably just missed it.

That vacancy on W25th will not last long and will open up a new opportunity for a new business.
