Cleveland Crunch debut exhibition game sells out Due to COVID, only 150 tickets total, but sold out in 48 minutes.👍

Return of the Crunch: After nearly 20 years, professional indoor soccer is returning to Cleveland (channel 5) I went to high school with #10 and the teams Vice President of Operations. Cool. I'm excited to see this team😁

But now it looks like they are tearing down some of the historic structures to build a parking garage. Does that sacrifice historic credits?

There is more happening in Willoughby than I thought: Willoughby Ward 2 Newsletter from Feb. 4 with 6 large projects for the city! The Denny's on the corner of Euclid and Som Center Rd will become a new Swensons. Demolition started over a week ago. The old car dealership on Vine St at State Rout 2 became the Marous Brothers Corporate Headquarters. They just moved into the new building last week. became: Also: NOPEC grant to enhance gateway into Willoughby that will use money to replace lighting on the Mentor Ave. bridge over the Chagrin River. Also, this Willoughby Ward 2 Newsletter October 1 2020 hints about the potential future of this land, in limbo since 2002:

New construction at Shoregate in Willowick: The outparcel A and B were demolished and their replacements are about half built: Each building has a drive-thru, but I can't find any information on if they have already lined up tenants. Google streetview of the project area:

I know I'm reviving a rather old topic, but I didn't see this completely answered yet after the project finished: This is now called THE FIVES AT ERIEVIEW PLAZA with a handy "Brochure" with more pics and renderings.

They did plan to add canopies to the storefronts: The Alto Partners website There is a "Brochure" you can click on for lots of details and more pictures of the project.

Can someone explain Ohio House Bill 312? It is a Crowdfunding bill for fiscal 2021 to allow three projects to proceed to the Ohio Controlling Board: Sherwin Williams Co., Cleveland, $35 million. Columbus Crew SC, Columbus, $25 million. Origin Malt, Marysville, $10 million. "Only Ohio residents can purchase securities, and an investor is typically limited to a $10,000 contribution per year" Does it mean I could invest in a project? Or is there some voodoo witchcraft involved? Cleveland's skyline could dramatically change under legislation signed by DeWine (Cleveland Business Journal) Link to Ohio House Bill 312 Sorry if this isn't the right thread to ask this.

This building looks like a heat map. Since it's residential, do all of the sexy people live on floors 20-32? 🤣

DealPoint Merrill Acquires Detention Basin Parcels From the article: 69-acre site 791 Class-A apartments "approximately 315,000 square feet of retail, including a completely renovated Regal Cinema 20-screen theater complex." This development just grew in size. The DealPoint Merrill website has yet to be updated for comparison: Belle Oaks at Richmond Road

Progress as of today:

But someone is doing their best to change that!🤣 It's raining poop in Cleveland made national headlines as this article was from Charlotte, North Carolina. From the article: Robinson lives nearby at Bohn Tower. For the past month, he says every time he walked to the grocery store, or he waits at the bus stop, he came across what appears to be dog waste littered all over the sidewalk. “Then one day I seen turds, and that’s when I knew somebody was sweeping feces off the balcony,” Robinson said.

Cleveland Commercial Group a commercial real estate broker who handled 75 PS sale among others, lists these two projects on their page: Has there been any recent movement on these two locations? Quick fun fact, 8/1/2019, the site mentions mid-rise developments in Cleveland and the article link is to one of @KJP's articles!

Don't see this posted here yet: REPURPOSING AN INSTITUTION DOWNTOWN YMCA about the facade restoration. (with pics) "Phase one is complete, but this project will take 4 years to be all the way done." " and the parapet at the top of the building will need to be replaced." I didn't think the parapet was in that bad of shape, so i would rather it said "rebuilt" instead of "replaced", but maybe it's referring to the stuff above the deep decorative cornice? Either way, i'm not worried, CBR seems to pay attention to detail.

Height aside, I need a little help with the floor size speculation math:🙂 The One Campus Martius building in Detroit is just over a million square feet in 16 floors and a whole city block, built in 2000 and just recently expanded. The expansion turned the building into a large box with a central atrium that doesn't let in a lot of natural light. SW said they want to maximize natural light, and speculating 2 buildings at 25 and 20 floors, how big are these floor plates going to have to be to fit a million square feet? Does this new floor count information sound plausible?

Still progressing:

Construction on Petmin's Ashtabula facility begins This is a $474-million plant that would produce 425,000 tons per year of high-purity NPI (nickel pig iron) for foundries. Well, it began a few weeks ago.

I agree, but the plaza needs to exist where it is to preserve the original subway ticket booth that they want to retain. They could shift the building over to have plazas on both sides of the building, but that creates less usable spaces. What would be cool is if they constructed the building similar to the Lausche State Office building on the West 6th side to have the plaza exist under the building but also command a strong street wall. This also provides a handy place to wait for buses to arrive, but it isn't my money being spent.

I know this is Stark, and unlikely, but assume that Stark doesn't apply for any tax credits, so there are none of the stipulations you mentioned, can the latest rendering of the Herold building addition be built, or are there already limits to alterations because of the historic district or some other form based code? All i can find is that it isn't breaching a height limit, and it's in a historic district, but idk if that means anything? I see, that makes sense.

Hi, most of this conversation is exciting, and I love to read it, but i think TMUD's should have it's own thread I wanted to create a new "Ohio Transformational Mixed-Use Development Projects" thread so we can all discuss potential projects before any are granted a TMUD credit, but I figured that @KJP should have the honor since he has been following and updating the rest of us on this bill for years. Then someone can create the same topic for each of the regional construction threads and pin it so it appears at the top so we can post pics of the Cleveland projects in the other regions and brag😝. Speculation aside and ignoring stipulations from any forms of financing, what codes and stipulations are actively in effect and enforceable on the Herold building, and what would Stark have to change in the design to get it too pass landmarks, design review or city council? Or, what are the building code differences between Cleveland and Columbus that allows vertical additions to historic structures there? or are those buildings not land-marked or in historic districts?

From today:

Was I blind or didn't they also miss the MayCo.? or is that not officially finished yet? Otherwise a article.
