Update on Woodhill Station West: (9/10/2023)

The Amelia doesn't look like it is moving very fast on the back portion: (9/10/2023) Looks about the same since May? Even on a rainy Sunday, this whole area still had foot traffic. It felt alive.

I always thought Ravenna was nice, and I don't think I saw anyone mention it? It always seems to get lumped in with Kent. Also Wellington was very lively for it's size.

So you were inside the new Medley Apartment building... where are those pics? 😅

I would hate to see those come down, but they are part of the Nautica Waterfront project area: Nautica Waterfront District and they propose a midrise on that block This is what is currently on their website.

Update from 7/26/23:

While I feel there could have been a little more time spent on the design, I think a big reason for replacing them all is so they share the same parts. They should now all have the same bolt sizes and light bulbs to make it easier to maintain them. What did they do with the old ones they just removed? There are plenty of theater buildings in Northeast Ohio that lost their marquees over the decades and could have used them, at least as templates if the structures were too far gone?

SW sold and leased back all of their stores years ago to free up capital and to pay down debt. Just because it happened before they broke ground for the new HQ doesn't mean much when interest rates were favorable. I'm sure corporations, like residential landlords, can claim the corporate rent they pay to landlords and deduct that from total earnings to obtain a better tax outcome. Obviously i want more density, but I'm not reading into the decision. But someone please prove me wrong!

In regards to the Cleveland Playhouse; fences have been placed...

And the gas is free! 🤑

Does this building have a name, or am I not picking up on it yet? It keeps being referred to as the "New Global Headquarters" that is part of the "Headquarters Campus", but did they name the building? Like Key Bank tower, or the Sohio Building, or just use the address. They can just go with the Sherwin Williams Tower (or building), but The Sherwin Williams Global Corporate Headquarters Tower is a lot to emboss above the front door, and there is nothing indicating a building name on their website? https://corporate.sherwin-williams.com/media-center/building-our-future.html
