w28th

For the record, from what I saw this morning, the hotel chain in the mix right now is not a W.

How much more info do you want?

Also, when the palm tree doesn't appear when the water droplets stay in the screen, an invisiblity cloak is created. Weird stuff.

Florida Guy, the one with the rain covered screen is freaking sweet. The randomness of the rain on the grid is incredible. Pixelated nature.

All these places around E4th are really producing some of the crappiest/cheapest storefronts I've ever seen. That is unfortunate.

It could be a blessing seeing what else has popped up in the vicinity (KJP's afformentioned crap).

^Nice.

^Eaton is a very conservative company, and I expect a designer of that status will be expected selectde for their headquarters.

I'm hoping somewhere closer to Cleveland State. But definetly on Euclid.

It's just not adding to the density the way it would if Eaton were built in the actual street footprint of FEB. I can apperciate the fact that they are taking up a garbage site, but that's really the only advantage.

Not sure it will be ready by... tomorrow. But we'll see. They were putting in the front doors this morning (they appeared to be french doors stolen from my grandma's premanufactured Florida solarium).

What a sweet hotel that will be. Historic rotunda as lobby, then viewing the skyline through a Breuer window. Bad ass.

Unfortunately, that quote could be a serious one from more than a few Clevelanders of the past. Albert Porter comes to mind.

Nice. I also saw the owner of La Dolce Vita in front of the La Strada space, seemingly giving a tour of the space to a few gents. E4th isn't that corporate afterall.

^I agree. Walking down Euclid with the construction, Bang and Clatter, The Park Building, apartments above corner alley, Terminal Tower renovations, Med Mart possibilities at Higbee's or May, Breuer in the background to the west, all in view from the north side of BP. Lot's going on.

This project is so interesting because it shows that if there are unique work spaces available, suburban companies are more than willing to move back into the city. ANd really, who would rather work in an office park than a refurbished warehouse with Lake and Downtown amenities and views? Just makes for a better work place.

It is just hard to believe in this day in age that a major corporation doesn't see the benefit of being part of a city. A city it has been in for many decades. Independence? Give me a break.

WTF? I see where you're going with it, but the May Company Building has 1.5 million square feet to appeal to the average person.

Honestly I can't see an easier thing to sell than a hostel. With the amount of people looking to move into the city that post on the Travel Assistance thread that may not know much about the city, this would be a good amenity to have until they find a neighborhood to their liking, let alone for the travelers (not tourists) that come to our fair city.

REX no longer exists, so I'm interested to see where this project goes from here.

With the right designer, maybe these huge, floating pieces of equipment (the truck docks) become the image of the building. If done correctly it could almost evoke images of the frozen industrial infrastructure of the city; the Jackknife bridges, the Hulletts, shuttered steel mill structures, etc. It could be very powerful.

Wasn't Cleveland in on this five years ago? What ever happened with that?

I bought this book, and so far it's been a very good read. I'd recommend it to anyone on this board.

Until Google gets to third tier cities, we'll never know.

I can varify that one of the ducks is in preparation to get things going very soon. I'd like to say more, but the current vaguries will have to do.
