Would they also use the crane to put up the signage at the top of the building?

That LaQuinta would be an improvement IMO.

I actually see this pretty routinely going on I-76 through Medina county towards Akron. This has been going on for several years. I'd always assumed there is some sort of service depot to the east, but the economics for that doesn't seem to make sense. Also I saw an article about BART retiring cars recently, thought maybe they get recycled somewhere in the east. I'd love to know if you find out! BART retiring legacy fleet

Isn’t the group that brought us Church + State behind this? I thought they had a pretty strong design ethos, and the earlier designs were much more aspirational. Surprised they’re settling for this instead of insisting on something better.

No need, it’ll all be electric cars in there before too long anyway.

It really is much better. I have griped about the "purple" in the past, but it comes off much better in real life. As good as the rendering visuals are these days, it's hard to render subtleties and nuances in lighting, reflections, etc.

I hear the Rockefeller building right across the street is for sale.

Zzzz. Looks like a watered down version of what was teased a couple years ago. I was looking forward to that jenga style facade, but I guess the value engineering must’ve won the day.

I kinda like the idea of a project with some huge beans on the roof. 😜Imagine all the potential for selfies on Instagram, Tik Tok videos, etc.

Unlike other recent proposals (ahem - Bridgeworks), this one has improved as the design evolved from the original renderings.

@CbusOrBust do the combustion chambers going to the recycling plant have anything to do with Intel, or is it just unrelated and happens to be shipping at the same time?

@Foraker this has been discussed exhaustively up thread over the past few weeks.

On the current Justice Center site! 😉 I know, I know, the availability of that site is several years out.

Waiting for someone to say "I like the blue, wish they would keep it."

I can imagine there being a decent amount of demand for modern hotel rooms at various price points around the airport, far above what is driven by game days. But it’s hard to see that being enough to move the needle toward paying for a ~$2 Billion stadium. So we shall see eventually I guess. As a side note, if this happens at the same time as the airport terminal rebuild, that whole area is going to be a mess for several years.

Ken, do you care to speculate on the financial rationale for a potential move to Brook Park? If it’s a given that the Haslams are looking for a handout to help build a new stadium, how in the world does the city of Brook Park bring a financial incentive better than what Cleveland could? The only thing I can think of is maybe the Haslams want to control and profit from the spin-off development opportunities like hotels, restaurants, etc. to an extent that they feel they can’t in the lakefront location.

If this is purely due to financing, I’m having a hard time seeing what Brook Park could be bringing to the table that Cleveland isn’t.

I wonder who will have the offices on the floors where the signage is installed on the outside of the building. IIRC, the logo will be installed near the top, but I would think that's where the executive offices are going to be. Certainly they're not going to have their views spoiled by giant letters mounted outside. There's probably some clever solution though, like maybe wood paneled conference rooms behind where the lettering goes.

This sort of reminds me of looking through the porthole into the dining room when I’m using the urinal at the Mellow Mushroom in Rocky River. Something about it just seems wrong.

And the local TV news sets. Except for Fox 8 of course with their live cam background.

Or they could’ve dusted off the Ameritrust Center plan. Almost 1,200 feet, just sayin’.

I’m still trying to get my wife to finish putting ours away, so I can relate.

It’s almost as if they’re trying so hard to let you know these are “lofts” or “industrial” or whatever, they needed to somehow squeeze in some exposed metal ductwork through the units. Sheesh.

A conspiracy theorist would say that’s actually what they wanted to happen, so no one could see it until they were damn well ready for us to! Now don’t be surprised when they ask you to take that picture down.
