  1. This kind of town home development would be ideal next to the old cemetery just east of Progressive stadium. I hope that gets developed some day. Lots of surface lots there.
  2. The remodeling of the atrium a few years ago is terrible with that new box like restaurant smack in the middle. They got rid of a beautiful fountain and destroyed one of the finest interior spaces in Cleveland.
  3. I was wondering if the notched corner will be part of the final design or if its there to compensate for the thickness of the cladding. I'm assuming the latter but not sure if it will fill in the notched corner entirely in order to be flush with each other.
  4. I think it will make a rather dramatic entrance (no pun intended) to Playhouse Square and downtown in general coming from the east.
  5. It sure would be nice to wedge a tall building in there!
  6. The glass facade that hugs the sidewalk will help create a nice walled in corridor look to the street that wasn't there previously with the old building. Hopefully the Nucleus project will do something similar on the other side of the street to compliment the look.
  7. looks like an exciting project: http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/breaking-ground/ChurchandState011419.aspx?fbclid=IwAR2vxZQcKmuh_5tpgHyYsa9NhFs6nYU_y2_BO5UuuB3ToF_0lhGLnileuvw
  8. This building will dazzle at night with indirect lighting. I just hope they highlight the natural color of the building. I think the colored LED lighting of the Terminal Tower is ugly. Like a kid coloring it in with a crayon. With old buildings highlight the natural color.
  9. I think you chose well! I don't think i would enjoy the view of the Justice center across the street. Playhouse Square is a much better location.
  10. Great location for a movie bank robber scene!
  11. Progress on the Tru Hilton:
  12. New glass going up. MVI_0506.AVI
  13. I would be happy to see it filled up to the inner belt highway during my lifetime.
  14. That Gehry building would have been a show stopper for this town!
  15. Hopefully the refurbishment of Quickens Loans Arena will serve as a catalyst for this ambitious project. Would love to see Prospect Avenue be built up next after the Euclid Corridor revitalization is nearing completion.
  16. Reminds me of the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi building: http://www.w5design.net/cleveland-clinic.html
  17. The signage seems very old school to me. It may very well be a nostalgic reference to the old Superman comic books.
  18. Nice shot! Never noticed that before, and I've walked by it many times.
  19. The PNC building when illuminated at night is a beautiful building. The accentuated whiteness of the building is a welcome relief to the skyline. 55 PS doesn't do much for me, day or night. Erieview has elegant proportions and has aged quite well.
  20. That and the offset windows will have an interesting visual impact. The Key Bank has some interesting reflective properties as well on its crown and the metal poles that run down the windows. Downtown needs more visually exciting buildings such as these. Most are very bland and boring.
  21. Would love to see the City Club get a face lift. The exterior is so filthy that it takes much away from The Schofield being joined at the hip as it is. It has such great potential!
  22. The May Company facade will be just as impressive as The Schofield when its restoration is finally completed. Quite a remarkable renaissance downtown is experiencing with all the various projects being developed simultaneously. I've lived here for fifty years and have never seen anything like it.
  23. Cleveland Construction did a fabulous job with the Trump International Hotel at the Old Post Office in D.C. . I hope they get the job as well, politics aside. https://www.clevelandconstruction.com/portfolio/trump-international-hotel-at-the-old-post-office/
