^ Both kind of look like they were designed by someone who had never seen a real house, only children's drawings of houses. Glad to see stuff being built here, and I don't hate the design.

https://www.bls.gov/regions/midwest/oh_cleveland_msa.htm The MSA civilian labor force fell bigly from June to July. This is the first time on record that there has been a June to July decrease, so it's clearly not a seasonal issue. Unemployment is down, but it must be a result of people either leaving or giving up looking for work since total employed is down and total non-farm jobs is substantively unchanged. Hopefully someone has a more positive take on the numbers, but this looks pretty disappointing to me. The July numbers aren't out yet for most metros, but I'm interested to see how some more healthy economies compare.

I’m starting to wonder if it’s possible that not only is NuCLEus alive, but the residential component is still being tossed around. I wonder this because it’s been a long time now since the one-tower plan leaked, but there’s been no action on it and their website shows the two-tower version still. Their capital stack always looked to me like they should be able to afford the single tower version easily. What if they’re still trying to do the two-tower version with a residential component, but they have the single tower version as a fallback. Maybe they’re just waiting till the last possible minute to move forward holding out hope that the two-tower version works.

Calling it now—return of Jenga NuCLEus, this time as a supertall. Seriously though @KJP, in a world of bad news, thanks for giving the good girls and boys of Cleveland news to look forward to.

Assuming this project is completed and occupied fully by 2023 some time, think about the population difference on Euclid from Public Square down through Playhouse Square vs 2018. You’ve got: City Club Lumen Athlon Euclid Grand May Co. Beacon *fingers crossed* Centennial And I feel like I’m forgetting a couple. All coming online from 2018-2023. I don’t have a count on hand, but that’s got to be like 1500+ units just in 5 years and just on a few blocks of Euclid. Insane. I’m psyched for this project and even more psyched to see what walking down Euclid feels like in a couple years.

This infographic is for total moves. There’s a table above in the article that shows net moves in and out. Also, I’m more skeptical of all these numbers having reviewed the 2019 and 2018 reports they have online. The numbers from those don’t make sense which makes me wonder about whether there’s a big enough sample size for midsized cities.

https://www.hireahelper.com/moving-statistics/covid-migration-report/ This is depressing if it's accurate. The numbers suggest there has been an increase in moves to Cleveland but an even larger increase in moves OUT OF Cleveland.

Alright after actually walking by at street level, I have to say it’s a lot better than the pictures. The mismatched materials are less jarring and it’s basically a normal looking building for the area. Sometimes judging by the picture ends up tasting like hat.

I love you @KJP, but IDK what you mean by “it relates to the street.” This building doesn’t even relate to itself.

I don’t really care about how ugly this is. There are plenty of buildings our there that are ugly. But it is very weird. I don’t understand why it is this way. It’s like one of those model homes with mismatched trim to show off different materials.

@KJPany idea what percent of current sales are out of state buyers beyond “many?” I don’t find the 60% LLC buyer stat troubling by itself. A prudent buyer of investment properties really ought to use an LLC. But the out of state absentee part sounds concerning.

This project may need a variance for erotic business, because it’s pure SEXY.

They’re nice but still affordable grocery stores/super stores. Similar to Target but more grocery focused and usually a bit nicer than Target.

Holy crap, I LOVE this. Hopefully this happens. Kiss my derrière, City Target; City Meijer for the win.

There is actually some curvature at the bottom in the rendering. From ground level, I bet the effect will be fairly pronounced.

Folks, if you look at the renderings, you can see they're on some level conceptual. The office building has different facades in different renders. The tops of the buildings are also obviusly not going to look the way they look in the render. The render quality is also low, so even if they built the buildings as closely as possible to the renders above, the buildings would look way better in real life than they do in the renders.

The rendering is kind of low res and ugly, but I think this will look great. There is one glass facade building in all of UC right now (Clinic doesn’t count) and it’s black glass. UC is not going to be overwhelmed by some glass.

This.

Man, what a power move would it be if they just started construction with no permit and got the permit partway through though. Not saying that makes any rational sense, but I’d dig it!!

https://www.bls.gov/regions/midwest/oh_cleveland_msa.htm June preliminary BLS data for Cleveland-Elyria is shows big increases again. June civilian labor force is now the highest June number since 2010. If the trend continues, July will be the highest civilian labor force for any month since 2010.

? Me gustaa ? Gorgeous. At a high level, it’s a conservative design, but a lot of the details are very unique. It’s a standout in the perfect way.

Looks like the case is probably Cuyahoga No. CV-20-930466 Seese, et al.. vs. Ambrosia Enterprises, LLC, et al. It's a quiet title action. There already was a TRO for fourteen days back in March. We should know this week whether Michelle's article has screwed anything up.

Love the microapartments. Does the $900/mo guestimated starting rent apply to the 235 sq ft units?? That sounds like kind of ambitious pricing. There are apartments downtown right now 2.5x that size for about the same price.

3% is still massive. About 9% of people move each year, so if 3% moved due to covid by June (i.e. a 2-3 month window) that means the rate of moving has temporarily more than doubled. Put differently, that 3% that moved is equal to more than the entire population of NYC.
