In all seriousness, the parking cannot be overstated. Between residents, commuters, and Q-Goers, a parking garage there is a goldmine

^WOW, coincidence bomb. I went to lunch today with a couple of pals from law school, one of which works at the firm handling some of the financing for the deal. He heard from people in his department that Stark thinks the downtown apartment market is over saturated and is considering scaling back the project in favor of condominiums - which would completely gut most of the existing financing. DISCLAIMER: He has never worked directly on the project so he does NOT have first hand knowledge.

NVM... found it https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4861337,-81.6933639,3a,75y,169.58h,89.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQiZ8PttHsi4NtqQjUVu40Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4848953,-81.6947031,3a,75y,103.7h,104.05t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNlrZ_vFxFVb9lMnL2rsLDQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Anyone have a google street view of the building???

I just received a LinkedIn notification that says hiring in Greater Cleveland is up 20.7% since March of 2017.

I will never understand why the Sam Allard & Co. crew at Scene are so butthurt by Saucy. That strip now brings in tax revenue to the district, employs over 25 people, and provides additional fitness facilities. I get that people gripe regarding the facade and the fact that Title is a national chain, but come tf on.

This is gaining traction, people aren't happy... @cle_news has 25k Instagram followers and is blasting the decision... https://www.instagram.com/p/BgjsPMglju6/?taken-by=cle_news

Sent mine as well... Michael, I hope this correspondence finds you well. As an Ohio City resident who lives within a block of the proposed “Church and State” Project [29th and Franklin], I was distressed to hear about the negative commentary regarding this project. From my time at St. Ignatius High School – ending in 2009 – until now, I have seen the dramatic impact in which development can have on the Near West Community. Gentrification is often viewed as a four-letter word, but to the people in the community, it can sometimes mean a summer job for an inner-city youth, a safe greenspace for the community to enjoy, a place to get exercise, or a place to get ice cream on a summer night. Our neighborhood desperately needs this project – and we need it now. We are teetering on the brink of becoming a destination neighborhood with a reputation to rival any other in the Midwest, but we need projects like this to take us there. Capital investment in the city is absolutely crucial to continue to bring people into the city and to promote mixed-income neighborhoods that allow for cultural, economic, and social unification. I am a 27-year-old young professional who loves his city and neighborhood. I’m imploring you, do not give in to the loud voices of people who are chronic litigants of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Say yes to this project, and continuing our progress forward to revitalizing Ohio City. All the best, Thomas I. Moran, Esq.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Remember not long ago I shared the story about the kid in Hingetown telling me he wished it would remain an undeveloped lot... Said it would be better for the neighborhood that way

^Sorry! I read hastily as PHS

Friendly retort here... I actually think more volume is needed amid Key, 200 Public Square, and Terminal Tower... I actually think we have decent volume around East 6th to East 12th from St. Claire to Euclid.

^Nope. Center is Beacon, in front and to the right of that is Nucleus, and then to the right must've been either the Edge or a former proposal in PHS

Love that PHS isn't included in this... shows the momentum of the project

I think we're going to be amazed how much this building and the PHS tower will alter the volume of our skyline.

^Agreed, it extends from 25th to the Clifton exit now as well, quite incredible and encouraging

Oh I agree. And what's also interesting is that, with this new parking facility (and a residential tower) putting more walking wallets on Euclid Avenue, that frees up parking in the decks behind the theaters to support a development on the land (called the Middough Lot) that PHS bought on Chester at 13th. Or that freed-up parking could support a tower atop the C&H building. There is also the surface lot behind the Sterling Building, off 13th (which could also support a multi-level parking and be right across the street from a C&H tower). So I hope a C&H tower is the next project by PHS. I'd love to see some of the same boutique shops that thrive in Tremont, OC, and D-S, do well in PHS. That would be terrific.

Okay, allow me to post the first negative comment here... Access to the parking garage off of Euclid is going to be nightmarish at times. One lane can be difficult enough... but one lane and a popular parking garage will be an issue - especially considering a left hand turn will not available into the garage, eastbound traffic will be a sh**show

I, too, figured people would be angry about an announced groundbreaking...

Hearing that Hanna may begin a conversion to condominiums on the heels of this announcement, similar to the phasing route that Prospect Place took. Can anyone speak to that's validity / possibility?

I live at 29th and Franklin, that will be convenient!

^Falco is starting construction before financing closes. In other news, Falco has a giant set of balls

Even more importantly, it will dominate the eastern end of the skyline. Everything else at that end of downtown is a couple of stories either side of 20. Agreed! I initially thought it would be the size of the Keith Building. What a nice surprise

^Sorry, just looked on my own... It will be #11.. Taller than the 9!! WOW.

Can anyone tell me if this tower will crack the top 10 in height for Cleveland?
