  1. Is there a parking lot in the back? If not, imagine paying for street parking lol
  2. Columbus has 2 that are 20 minutes apart from each other and while the city has a larger population that us the region population is similar and they are maintaining fine, the Cleveland one would be a similar distance apart. The Downtown one wouldn't draw away from Westlake too much because suburban drivers wouldn't want to pay for parking. The downtown one would be a draw for downtown residents, tourist, workers after work, sports fans that are visiting downtown and surrounding neighborhoods such as the growing Ohio City, and Tremont due to proximity.
  3. I feel a Dave & Busters would do wonderful in NuCLEus, a sports bar for the sports fanatics and an arcade for, well everyone AND it's smack in the middle of what is our entertainment district which bustles.
  4. Micro apartment project on Ashbury Avenue off of East 115th Street
  5. Windows are in. The building has an impressive presence to it. Hopefully the final product is better than the rendering but I'm in love with the feel it has from the street.
  6. Ugly especially due to material choice and the lack of front door access bothers me still.
  7. I love the simplicity of this and how it fits with the surrounding buildings so well. Timeless, I'd take these over the ultra modern designs we get so often.
  8. That used to change to a one way?! That must've been one large one way lol, bizarre.
  9. What's interesting is with these HUGE apartments taking up one half of a block (sometimes an entire block) going up all over the city in addition to the high-rise apartments. It seems Cleveland is building for a million again lol. I remember a study being done that stated Cleveland should focus on building for 500K people. Seems like developers are just going for the gusto instead of playing it safe. We are replacing older buildings on main thoroughfares that housed maybe 10-20 people above storefronts with apartments with 80-150 Units. I forgot where I saw the quote but they said in an article in development "Cleveland was built for 1 million people, we have a lot of room to grow" or something along those lines. I like that energy lol. Long story short, keep buildings like these coming!
  10. University Circle has a lot of curves!
  11. Oh they are actually serious about building that design? D*mn!
  12. Won't those get replaced when the new LED's go in?
  13. Also, are these train tracks being actively used? If not you already know what I think should happen, an RTA rail station, pipe dream I know.
  14. Welp, it was an ambitious thought but just refocus with something more tangible. The use right now is fine, effort just needs to be put into the mall to get it back going. No one wants a watered down version of what was once proposed, do it in the original form or don't do it at all and focus on retail. A streetscape (not closing) of Prospect can still happen because it needs to be shrunken, do retail incubators for smaller business in the storefronts on Prospect to increase activity and subsidize the retail space inside the mall. If the retail incubators are successful and the businesses get popular, transition them to other Bedrock owned retail space and put national names in that spot. Cleveland needs to move past just settling for SOMETHING being better than nothing.
  15. If that land gets built for a soccer stadium I hope they would look at ideas to make a sort of "neighborhood". I attached what I'd like to see built at least over time, it contains parking simply because lets be honest, it won't see a road diet so it will be very car centric, but I want it to be mixed use. There are still normal sized roads that pedestrians can cross to access these different parts of land to bounce around and interact with the various developments. Housing is big here simply because of downtowns housing boom, so maybe a mid rise apartment or condo (only mentioned because of the recent outcry, idk how desirable this area would be), basically The Beacon/515 but shorter. I just feel that if a stadium is built, instead of revisiting mixed use around the stadium down the road like the Browns we need to get it right immediately. The area would be tricky due to it being fed cars getting off the highway but if done correctly this outlier of Downtown Cleveland can be a connector of two different areas. It ESPECIALLY the would benefit the Woodland area and help activate that underdeveloped neighborhood.
  16. Is the Beacon renting well? I’m asking because if the prices are similar it could give an idea of how these may do. Last time I saw on here someone said it was 50% leased.
  17. I'm excited for this but I wish they would just match the brick color of the existing building.
  18. By this logic he really could care less if retail returned to the city proper or his ward which is dumb considering that's what can attract people that may not have had their eye on or known about an area, which could lead to future residents, which leads to a more prospering ward.
  19. "Councilman Matt Zone told cleveland.com that putting retail on the site is a bad idea. The property is too valuable to use for a shopping center, he said, especially if the city does more to develop its lakefront." "Even if the population is dense enough, he’d rather not see valuable land that could be part of a lakefront development plan be used for something so “auto-dependent.” #1. Dealing with the city of Cleveland that may be the biggest "if" in the country. There has been NO PEEP of plans in that area, no one was thinking about that land, stop pretending. #2. It's off the Shoreway of course it's auto dependent. Population was a concern but your job is to make your city a draw, with it being off the freeway if you make your city a major draw people from out of the region will support in droves. Put your energy into that instead of potentially blocking a development for land that was forgotten about.
  20. Sherwin Williams said we're a conservative company so we only will put our name on a conservative building! Take it or leave it!
  21. Fine, build faster but stop building so ugly.
  22. I still like the plan maybe now that the train station is moved the walkway can be placed in that direction. Designed correctly it could be a kick off of other development around there. Is the Bioenterprise building fully occupied? If not a conversion of a part of that building into residential would be possible as well.
  23. More reason to use the transit that's next to them ?. Take the train to Little Italy and walk ?
  24. A free wix site is better than the City of Cleveland site ?
