Offices overlooking the City Club site could also mean PNC? Is PNC discussing a move?

If theres asbestos containing materials, or any materials inside that can't be dumped at a C&D facility, then they have to abate those before mass demolition.

Its just the nature of the way people live. People I have noticed, especially the younger population, are definitely home bodies staying in, ordering for delivery, working and leaving in the evening for bars. Leaving to go to a store, or pickup food or walk to work seems very taboo now in an Era of "all things brought to you". Something I've noticed with the population increase in DT Cleveland, less foot traffic than before.

Do the have NFA's from OEPA on these properties? Wasn't sure. If not they probably can't get an underwriter to craft a policy to tack onto the agreement.

And even adding residents doesn't do nearly what it did 15 years ago with regard to pedestrian street life. People seem to stay in their homes, ordering everything, working from there, etc versus going out on the streets to catch buses or shop. I can only imagine if downtown Cleveland's residential population in 2005 was at what it is today. The scene on the streets would be vastly different.

I'm assuming all of this hinges on the fact that there is a strong potential suitor for the existing facility. Obviously if there is not, renovation at any cost would be the better option.

It appears they could utilize the existing crane by lowering it. 🤷‍♀️

IMHO, you can paint this picture as very grim by organizing the data so tightly, and assigning color coding in very small increments. Essentially you have 10 out of 100 in Seattle ranking number 4, and 5 out of 10 in Cleveland ranking number 41. While there is a difference, it's really not huge. This is more of a socio-econmoic issue of wealth distribution in the United States versus regional issues.

^😉 Strategic shot of Intro in the mirror!

Nice! This is something I will definately frequent!

Kinda give it that Pinnacle Condo's vibe? I get ya. Pinnacle looks rough now for a relatively newish building. But that's probably moreso due to the exposed steel. Hopefully this one doesn't go the way of that.

^They would tie into the existing sewer. IDK, just thought its odd that they would stage precast concrete structures prior to stripping the existing asphalt parking lot if they were planning to excavate for sewers.

Seems strange that they're delivering manholes, and several of them, to the site of a residential tower. I really hope the lot isn't being used to stage materials for a sewer project on Euclid, and this is the start of the project.

We're watching Yellowstone right now. I like it. Fast with individual confrontations, but follows an overall storyline. IMO Kevin Costner is great in it!

^Love the Hilton from that view!

Is the picture above actually from the site? Maydays Caisson picture?

Gilbane had an even larger office ground level on Prospect during the Lumen Construction.

And that was my point a few days ago. We really need to cater to young couples having kids. If we just keep replacing people in their mid-20s moving to the suburbs, with more people in their mid-20's, we'll never counter-act the flight from especially the east-side neighborhoods. Is raising kids in the neighborhoods that are gentrifying possible, sure. Is it ideal? Not yet...IMO

Continuing to focus on the gentrifying neighborhoods, with the hope their growth spills into the depressed neighborhoods is also key. Hopefully UC can bleed south of Cedar and north of Wade Park. And Ohio City can stretch further west on Lorain, and continue south of Lorain. Essentially how cities start in the first place. From the core out.

What Cleveland really needs to see happen is the younger groups of people who have migrated to living in the city, staying, and having a couple kids to help increase the average home size. If we continue to have 1 to 2 people in each household, I'm afraid were not going to be able to counter-act the de-population of especially the east side neighborhoods. Visually, it appears that were growing based on some of the developments, but clearly that's not the case. It's definatley the time to start catering to families in the gentrifying neighborhoods, and less to the hipsters. We've definatley already captured them😂.

I understand that, but large college enrollments can spur a ton of fantastic developments surrounding their urban campus. I would totally understand this if the CSU sports programs drew crowds, but they don't. I guess when you see an aerial view, it's staggering how much average these take up.

All the fields just seem like alot of wasted space in the center of the city for venues that draw extremely small crowds...if any. It would be nice if the could've had a sports complex for CSU on the near east side somewhere. Maybe League Park area.

It's much better then having a 600' tower on the square, immediately step down to a 45' tower behind it...IMO.

You would never find me on it! 😬

Right. While Sherwin's a big company, between what they're building now, and their Brecksville campus, they'll have more than enough space.
