Uh we shakerites would never want to pull our trash to the curb, are u out of your mind? I will gladly pay the taxes! It’s bad enough just to pull it out of the garage…. in fact we are going to probably raise taxes to build new schools soon…. Ha anyway back to Van Aken, so disappointed in that qua Buick design, we get a beautiful modern glass high rise and then boom right back to cookie cutter boring blah… you’d think an architecture firm designing a building in part for themselves would want something a little more flashy! Maybe I’m alone on that IDK.

Work on new blue line station

this building is going to be very cool, the bridge being that high really creates a fun view under / thru building.

Couple days ago, but thought the RTA sign added to your discussion.

5/22/23 update going up quickly

It’s gonna have a presence in the neighborhood that’s for sure

Tower crane going up in Shaker today. Appropriately red.

Anyone have insight on the warrensville chagrin corner lot? Is it possible they are adding temporary parking? Or maybe this is a staging area for the rapid station redo?

Apartment tower at farnsleigh and van Aken

Should probably go in transportation but, the Jersey barriers are slowly being removed on the 480 bridge, the end is near!

There is a survey out from noaca and downtown cle alliance in regards to Amtrak expansion and asks about a transportation center. Would advise everyone to go complete it and bump up the numbers.

North Star cafe’s construction barriers coming down, getting close.

There was also some geo tech drilling occurring on the old Patriots Village site off Lombardo north of Rockside in independence. Not sure why.

New CBIZ headquarters construction is in progress near Top Golf, they even have some let’s call it continental class signage

On that site plan, isn’t that the current site of Slymans Tavern?

Good view from flight in yesterday.

‪Give me a David Blitzer / blackstone group purchase so Blackstone and Blitzer can build a high rise with condos on top that he can look down on his new Baseball team from…‬

I believe it’s being torn down to be used for construction staging on the new tower to be built nearby, then later hopefully developed.

KJP, I saw on shaker’s oct 25th council meeting that the city and RMS entered into a lease agreement on the land for the new van Aken apartments and future office building site at chagrin warrensville. They did so in order for RMS to apply for TMUD on the 18 story apartment project. Wasn’t sure if you had seen this as it wasn’t on the last article I read about potential applicants. Thought it was interesting and hopefully not a sign that financing has a hole…

Regarding the lighting, Sherwin has a unique opportunity with the slope roofline and middle cutout that I hope they don’t miss. Sherwin neon paint can logo at top elevation that “tips” over with light change and when it does so, LED “paint” runs down the slope to the middle cutout and down to ground level. Rough illustration attached. Doesn’t need to be continuous, maybe a show it does every so often and can obviously change to whatever their feature seasonal color is.

If we add these 5 cranes up it sort of equals 1 tower crane right? Right?

If you go up thread there is a link to the latest planning commission meeting which goes in depth on everything and you will get your explanation on what PAL means along with what’s included in each phase. You just have to fast forward thru the dumb council questions. While the website may not be up to date, they have been public with their plans, no need to be upset with them being secretive. Also, it’s not public debt, the airlines are who will end up paying for the new airport, money not spent here can’t be spent elsewhere such on 3c or the like.

I don’t know how anyone keeps a calm demeanor answering some of those council questions.
