RE Developer In Training

I'm surprised the May Co. building wasn't mentioned in the article. That is such a massive blight in the otherwise fully revamped gateway/Euclid ave/Public Square area. Does anyone know the status of this building?

Looks like it's four buildings! This is huuu-ge! Four Flats buildings set for renovations as Samsel, Geis and Catanese join forces http://realestate.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2016/11/four_flats_buildings_set_for_r.html#incart_target2box_default_#incart_target2box_targeted_ A restaurant is scheduled to open in the spring in the former Watermark space downstairs, where patrons will have access to spruced-up patios along the river. Samsel, Petrick and Geis won't say much about the eatery, but a building permit posted on the property alludes to a company registered with the state as Old River Brewing Company Cleveland LLC or Big Cat Brewery.

How could they announce phase III when they've got multiple vacancies in Phase II? Give it time. Last thing we need is more vacant buildings downtown.

Although FC continues to shed all Cleveland assets, I see this as a positive for CLE development. That size of company needing space along with potentially Medical Mutual and Sherwin could demand for that Public Square Tower we all desperately want to see. Jacobs sold that one lot for the Weston development, but they still own the parcel adjacent to PS, right?

Exciting to see a development of this magnitude coming to an area that so desperately needs an influx of new, market rate housing. Hats off to NRP Group for the vision and commitment to Cleveland! The Edison, along with the affordable project on w117th, really shows their commitment to Cleveland. Hopefully the recent sale of the Vue will lead to even more local projects in the near future.

I agree, the restaurant/club scene is way over-saturated. I'd like to see that micro-retail concept come to life downtown, and the flats would be a good place to start.

There is no way the city should allow for this enclosed, warehouse looking mall on some of the best real estate in the Midwest especially when you consider both the Galleria and the Avenue have trouble finding enough discount stores to fill their spaces.
