  1. I’d take it. Something close to One University Circle in height. Here’s hoping it has an outdoor pool too.
  2. I don’t care what anyone says, those are palm trees in that rendering. I wouldn’t even be upset if we had them imported for 4 months a year.
  3. Dang it KJP beat me to it.. but still. No. Sleepy Frank is not leading the charge. I don’t know that he’s so much involved in the charge.
  4. Love it. Could you imagine what the cameras would capture under the bright lights of the 2021 NFL Draft if something like this went forward?
  5. Wow, couple more replies like this and the internet may break ?
  6. It’s all hands on deck to retain SHW and they’ll be incentivized to stay like nobody’s business. I side with those who say if SHW decides to leave it’s on them. My gut tells me if they planned to leave Cleveland they wouldn’t string us along. It could just be they’re being thorough in their search. You could reveal elements of your source without tying anything to you or them. Do they work at SHW, work in real estate, work in government?
  7. Man, that’s terrific news, but definitely the news we’ve been burnt by before. Are you able to hint at who’s backing this? Public/private partnership I hope.
  8. There is no more city jail, anyone arrested in Cleveland is booked at the County.
  9. https://www.cleveland.com/architecture/2010/01/cleveland_design_competition_w.html?outputType=amp
  10. Spot on. Would like to see rail go south of the inner belt as well. Really fill out that empty land and that large Progressive Field employee lot at e 14th and Broadway.
  11. MetroHealth’s progressive culture has me really impressed. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2019/09/twenty-metrohealth-employees-to-attend-cleveland-rising-summit-on-company-time.html
  12. My only hope is that when those SHW cranes are hard at work over downtown, the people that read this press release and said “woe is me” will have a whole new psyche.
  13. Right, and seeing as how it’s Wikipedia maybe I jump on there and drop a one and a comma in front of that 669’. That would make for some real excitement ?
  14. Agreed. BASF should relocate their HQ to Cuyahoga County.
  15. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Google have a stake in Bernie Moreno’s Ownun? Could that be what’s being referenced or do we expect a larger Google presence?
  16. https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/oh-cuyahoga/cleveland-sees-record-breaking-number-of-visitors-in-2018 Video version. Is it time for another large hotel in the CBD?
  17. I’ll reserve judgement on the buildings accents until completion. I guess this is a good problem to have though if this is our debate. At least the tower portion of the Lumen could rise on Miami Beach or the Vegas Strip and no one would bat an eye.
  18. And didn’t someone say upthread “looks cheap” ?. Those are great photos thanks for sharing. Those floor to ceiling windows really open those apartments up.
  19. Sooo, I don’t come to UO to debate politics. The option is there and I’d rather not. However, I feel with politicians there’s always going to be a peacock show of “what’s in it for my constituents” that seems to hamper these type of developments. The resistance is part of the political show and what’s feasible will still come to fruition.
  20. It’s been five years since this project was announced. Frankly, I’m burnt out.
  21. What a transformational project this will be for Cleveland.
  22. I do hope Mr. Albert’s finds a new home. Cleveland staple much like Norton’s Furniture.
  23. That would be great news for us fans of Ichabod the Crane’s Twitter feed ?
