North Water Street Brewery update.

Design and Innovation Hub at Kent State update.

Across from the Aldi on Fishcreek Rd. Anyone know what they’re building?

This is what’s left of the BW3. They planted some grass. So I guess we’re just gonna have a field here.

I’m calling it First Bribery Stadium.

The old BW3 has finally been torn down.

Design Innovation Hub at Kent State is coming along nicely. Very cool building.

Construction delayed til spring 2021 https://www.record-courier.com/news/20200519/seventy-new-jobs-coming-to-davey-tree

Are there any eyes on the ground? Did any additional equipment arrive or did any drilling happen?

Our gal Lumen is prettier! ?

Yes, thank you! What I find so cool about this building is that during the day it looks silver or blue depending on the angle but at night it takes on a green and black hue! She’s a chameleon!

First time I’ve seen her in person. She’s BREATHTAKING...

Recorded in my basement in Kent. Psychedelic Rock must never die! ?

That was good. Perhaps rock is NOT dead.

Larry, you know I gotta ask...any word on the height/Sq. Feet of the office and apt. towers? A bit upthread you really had the pulse on how SW’s main tower was going to be built first with staging on the Weston lots.

Thank you KJP for tirelessly working your buns off to get this article done tonight! Now let this man have a well deserved cat nap!

^^^ This guy right here. Non stop! Do you ever sleep, Ken?!

I have to believe they will at least use 25,000 sq ft plates. Stokes Courthouse officially listed as 18.7 ft per floor. 877,000 sq ft with 25,000 sq ft floor plates = 35 floors. At 16 ft per floor = 560ft. At 18.7 ft per floor = 654.5 ft. 1,077,000 sq ft with 25,000 sq ft floor plates = 43 floors. At 16 ft per floor = 688ft. At 18.7 ft = 804 ft. This could be a massive tower. I hope they use 18.7 ft floors. ?

In that massing the main tower looks to be 500 feet. I know it is unofficial, but Ken, is this based on any inside info you have about it’s height? ?

Ok so we got 55 Public square at 22 stories and 300 feet...sooo, let’s say SW tower is 30 stories and 450 feet...BAM, there ya go!

With an irregular, concave pentagonal shaped lot, this could be an interesting high rise...?

29 million dollars for a parking deck?! Is it made of diamonds and gold?!

Per Gilbane’s website, The 34 story Lumen is 602,000 sq feet. We have heard SW needs 1.8 million sq feet, not counting parking. Does this mean they will construct 3 buildings the size of The Lumen?

How many floors is this building?

Great work, Ken!
