  1. This will be great - adds another bunch of residents and some retail. Design is going to blend into the neighborhood and will look totally normal sitting between the stonebridge and the quarter. Keep building! Plenty more large prominent sites, the continued growth and success of the neighborhood will only increase the chances of affording high-design for the next one.
  2. I would view this as a broker and owner getting some renderings done in hopes of increase buzz and visibility for the property. Hopefully it works and they can attract something, but I wouldn't think of it any differently than an architecture competition proposal.
  3. This looks incredible. Will make a big difference in feel of the place walking down Market Ave towards something instead of a parking lot.
  4. There are only a handful of 30+ acre industrial sites in the whole of Cuyahoga County A NFA letter does not mean the site is clean enough for residential development There is a lot of available residential infill land that would help the neighborhood more than this site
  5. Popular coffeeshop pays local owner to restore historic building, subsidizing 4 micro-retail units for new businesses.
  6. This is a Ten-x auction, not a court-ordered auction, so no guarantees that the sellers will actually sell. There is an enormous amount of property on the Columbus Rd. peninsula that is available. Would be a great development project if you have a very long timeline and an large amount of capital available.
  7. Attracting national chains will help spur additional development in the neighborhood. There are many people who look forward to having familiar options nearby when choosing a place to live. National chains also can pay higher rents, making renovations like this one financially feasible. More people coming to Ohio City will help attract local retail and there is not a shortage of retail space. The building is also adding 4 additional small local storefronts, which would not be feasible without Starbucks rent...
  8. I'd be very surprised, price tag is outrageous ($2.3mm/ac) and it's less than an acre, with single family intermixed. For comparison, the BK site and the W 73rd site are both larger and asking much less.
  9. It looks like the Forest City!
  10. Hingetown has more than 36,000 square feet of retail space available for lease in 7 different buildings right now, and that's just between Franklin, Detroit and inside of w 32nd. Nobody is even attempting to list retail space along the viaduct or in the flats despite the many empty storefronts. Pickleball courts are a nice way of activating the street level until the retail demand is high enough to convert the space.
  11. There are 3 larger and better located development sites listed for less than half of the $/acre: Former BK, W 73rd, 6400 Herman.
  12. This is great, we could use about 35 more of these, all stacked up next to each other wall to wall. This type of density is what makes neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine or Brooklyn so great.
  13. That parcel might have the highest # of parks and most acres within a short walk of anyplace in the city.
  14. So they could bulldoze it and find a new use instead of paying for more and more upkeep
