Just saw the spectacle this morning… billboard stays, building goes; welcome to Cleveland

Oh, this is great news. Move the Browns to Brookpark, build the thunder dome and then Cleveland can annex the whole bit for $85K

Totally agree. There isn’t an American city today that could find the money to build anything as comprehensive as that proposal. I read something that if NYC had to build its subway system today it’d cost about $370 trillion… lol

Great scoop @KJP . I like the idea of them moving the stadium there. Anyone coming into town for a weekend to see a game will be a short train ride into the city so, as far as I’m concerned, this is TOD. I cant wait to see what comes of the current stadium site; so much potential for all that land overlooking the water… and maybe the city can annex the land from Brook Park, magically, and then everyone can say the Browns are still in Cleveland and we’re all winners

I had the same initial thought. There are so many other things with setbacks. I’d rather see Detroit feel more crowded… you know, like a city. I live nearby. There’s enough open space and empty lots

They made short work of this elementary school… I hope something ambitious happens here

The Verizon building did for views from the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC what Rhodes Tower does for that bit of Cleveland town. About 10 years ago they turned a lot of it into glass. Still not the most remarkable bit of architecture but a huge visual improvement. Anyway, it'd be neat-o for them to do something like this. Apologies to the 50 other people on this forum who have made this observation and posted about this exact thing already

Unbelievable ideas made manifest… and the galleria is the cherry on top

Thanks for sharing this @KJP Great news, great article. Here’s to it making its way to the top of the heap 🍺

Two rapid stations and now a boulevard (I mean, corridor) connecting 79th to the east and west side... can't wait to see what the next generation can do to make use of all that infrastructure

Oh, that’s in phase 2 :)

This is my TOD plan for down the street from me… just need that first $240 million and its a go. Apologies if your home was razed in the making of this proposal yellow= apartments blue= retail

Couldn’t do it; I was a tour guide driving out of town-ers around

I finally got to see what’s there with my own eyes… thats gonna be one impressive tower. Thank you, photographers, for sharing all these pictures

Agreed. I live over here. The train station is only a 10 minute walk down Madison for me and there are a LOT of empty lots. Infill ‘er on down. I doubt any of my neighbors will show up to the town hall meeting complaining about whatever it is people complain about
