WhatUp

The Cleveland Clinic has some strangely planned construction ambitions. The M building is the current Cleveland Clinic Pediatric inpatient hospital. That building contains most of the pediatric OR's and ICU's, so demolishing it before a suitable replacement is built would be out of the question. The 8th floor of the M building has been under construction for over a year, being remodeled into a new epilepsy unit. The ribbon cutting to officially open M80 will be Monday. The R building next door now contains the outpatient pediatric departments that moved out of the T and S buildings middle floors, still vacant since the fall of 2018 when the newly remodeled R building opened. The TT building is old and largely office space, along with the S and P buildings, so they could vacate the P, S, and TT and RR buildings fairly easily. The U building is also underutilized and takes up nearly an entire city block with the Cleveland Clinic Police Station. The Cleveland Clinic also purchased the The Cleveland Playhouse complex which is heavily damaged due to decades of poor maintenance and neglect (trust me). None of my contacts within the Cleveland Clinic maintenance departments have heard any plans for the next construction project, nor the next demolition project. Most of the Cleveland clinic is talking about the new Mentor Hospital that is supposed to break ground by the end of the year, the closing of the TRW campus in Beachwood, the construction of Cleveland Clinic London, expansion of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and integrating of the recently acquired Akron General hospitals, Union Hospital, Martin Health System and Indian River Medical.

here is a Cleveland Scene Article about this development. Dirt is being moved on the property which has been cleared of trash and vegetation. I hope this project brings some attention to the 9410 Hough Avenue apartment tower that has been sitting windowless and empty for years. But I did find a snazzy fantasy rendering?

Centennial Peace Plaza has broken ground this past week and the Ethiopian painted wall is nearing completion, but not the arches yet.

thanks for the photo of the May Co @GISguy from the random developments thread. looks nice and clean and nearly finished on the Prospect side

The City of Cleveland, in cooperation with Woodland Cemetery Foundation, is rebuilding the historic Woodland Cemetery Gate House. The gate house was deconstructed block by block in the early 1990’s because of safety concerns. http://www.wcfcle.org/ Hopefully it can be reconstructed close to original. pulled from Wikipedia: Construction began in April 1870, during which time the south gate closed and a new west gate opened. The new gatehouse opened on November 8, 1870. The 80-foot (24 m) long structure was built of quarry-faced stone obtained near Independence, Ohio. James D. Copperfield provided the stone, and A.J. Piper provided carpentry work. The structure was Gothic Revival in style. The arch contained a central carriageway, with pedestrian gates on either side. The carriageway was 16 feet (4.9 m) wide and 22 feet (6.7 m) high. It was surmounted by a belfry, whose tip reached 42 feet (13 m) into the air. The roof of the arch was wood. Side buildings, each 18 by 22 feet (5.5 by 6.7 m), were attached to the arch. Each was accessed by a door under the arch, and each building had windows in the north and south facades. The western side-building was used as a waiting room, while the cemetery office occupied the east side-building. The structure's cost was reported as either $7,000 ($138,692 in 2018 dollars) or $8,000 ($158,505 in 2018 dollars). A small addition was made to the east side-building in 1876. Designed by architect Alexander Koehler and built by contractor A.J. Piper at a cost of $636.37 ($14,519 in 2018 dollars), this addition contained a coal room (a room for storing heating coal) and bathroom.

Not to change the subject, So I know this is old news from an article from 2016, but I haven't read anything about it on here in a long while, and I'm probly posting this in the wrong thread anyway. Saving the Waters of Lake Erie about the Dugway Storage Tunnel currently under construction, and how massive and expensive this project is. There are some really interesting articles on webuildvalue that show what infrastructure projects some global cities are planning.

A short video from the Wall Street Journal I came across that shows aerial views of the massive Amazon warehouses in North Randall and Euclid.

Wasn't there a plan to keep the Lakewood Hospital curved sandstone corner blocks and use them as a new entrance to the plaza, b/c it isn't in any of the new renderings? or was that a competitors plan to pay homage to what used to stand on this parcel?

They can call it Electric Gardens, but it will be known as the Barcode building (or the UPC) if they keep this design. At least it has decent density.

The Millennia Commercial Group partners with CBRE as exclusive listing agents for historic downtown Cleveland portfolio This portfolio includes The Centennial (formerly 925 Euclid & The Huntington Bank Building), a 1.3 million-square-foot mixed-use property in the heart of Cleveland’s central business district and a Cleveland landmark, The Statler (E.12th & Euclid Avenue), a historically renovated former hotel with high-end apartments, retail and office located in the Theater District, The Garfield (E.6th & Euclid), a historic high-rise built in 1893 now containing luxury apartments and retail in a high-demand location, and Public Square North (formerly as 75 Public Square), built in 1915 as the headquarters for the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company now featuring up-scale apartments and retail. So this is old news from November 26th 2018 but it wasn't posted yet. So the building has a new name Public Square North

Am I the only person who saw this pic and thought "this could have almost been the view from NuCLEus..." ? I can't wait for this building to be finished and light up so birds can fly into it! ? It would be cool if they could add development above the 5th street arcades to kind of balance the street out.

Among the many things I have, this edition of the Plain Dealer November 7, 1931 had a fun front page article And so you can read the good part: So the Post Office Plaza was constructed to allow for an additional 4 stories if the need arose... well, there could be a future need with all of this new construction happening.

Didn't I hear plans about repairing what's left of the old bridge down to Stones Levee and Canal Rd. and re-building the missing pieces to re-connect the Gateway District to the river? This video turns it into some weird land pier to look out over a power station and acres of parking lots, which is still better than what it is now... but still weird. Also, unless their graphics glitched, please don't paint a mural on Ontario St. or whatever that big rainbow crosswalk thing is. Besides that, lovin' the trees and public art, now all they need is one of the Cleveland signs to take a pic next to.

https://skyrisecities.com/news/2019/03/clevelands-quicken-loans-arena-finish-renovation-fall Nothing really new in this article, but it feels nice to be noticed in another construction forum.? By the way... Why hasn't anyone *cough* @KJP created a Cleveland thread on this site? Detroit and Baltimore have threads... And you may be the only hero capable of redeeming us?

http://www.eberhardarchitects.com/view_project?project_id=61 This look s pretty old to me, but it wasn't posted here yet. Wouldn't it be fun if this company came in and added the potential 5 new floors to the building? I never would have thought of it, but they said it could be done. Does anyone know if Kassouf might still renovate some of the building to residential since the office market is changing? maybe he needs those new floors!?

https://app.oxblue.com/open/ccf/cwruhec The link for the CWRU Health Education Campus construction cam shows they are finishing up the exterior of the Residence Inn at Innova. I love how the large tree growing at the corner of E. 101 st. and Chester was not cut down. Also, some progress at the Dental clinic not really visible in the construction cam. pic from 2-14-19

Studies/2013-UrbFwy-032; CUY-90 (19.50-21.60).pdf hopefully I added this right... this is obviously from 2013, before they closed and demolished the east side power plant, but I remember ODOT toying around with all the ramps in that area back then and thinking about changing the MLK / shoreway intersection to be a roundabout.

https://www.news-herald.com/news/ohio/lake-county-commercial-construction-boom-willoughby-union-putt-putt-sites/article_3d420cf3-ad0d-56b9-8b1d-612f265c8ce9.html This article is over half a year old, but it wasn't posted yet. It lists just about all of the large projects going on around Lake County, and some of them are pretty exciting

I don't know where I found this picture, does anybody know anything about where this plan came from? The background photo predates all of the Flats East Bank and the Convention center remodeling, but it could just be a stock photo and a school project. I want those towers above the shoreway and train lines

So this article is over a month old now... https://www.cleveland.com/business/2018/12/nine-northeast-ohio-projects-including-downtown-cleveland-hotels-land-state-historic-tax-credits.html Does anyone have any info on the Ohio Bell building hotel remake supposedly starting in the spring!? Also, The Fidelity/Baker building (1940 E. 6th) was awarded tax credits to become a mystery hotel? any new info on this? on a side note, I can't help but get excited as 2 more "office" buildings become non-office! Time for a new build office tower!

there is a short article about Restoring The May Company Building’s White Terra Cotta Façade on the Boston Valley's Terra Cotta website under their "news/blog" tab. They are going to re-cast 1300 "stones" guess I should stop calling them bricks

Does anybody have any information on the final plans for this building besides it will feature 119 apartments over ground floor retail? The picture in the May Co. thread from Nov. 2nd doesn't show a lot of change and I'm impatient. Has Millennia filed any plans with the city regarding exterior lighting? also, where would parking be for the tenants in this building? is there enough surface parking in the neighborhood?

If you go to the CWRU Health Education Campus construction cam, you get a good view of the recent construction looking north from the Cleveland Clinic main campus. If you zoom in the near middle of the image near where the new Cleveland Clinic Dental Clinic building is breaking ground, there is another crane visible... can anyone tell me what is happening those few blocks North?
