On the lower floors, apartments would bookend parking on the north and south sides of the building. Starting on the fifth floor, the developers envision two rows of apartments -- one facing out on the building's north, south and east sides and the other facing in, ringing a four-story atrium. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2013/09/investors_eye_downtown_clevela.html

I believe they get a column cover of probably aluminum or other material.

I'm somewhat ok with the current plan, but like others am not a fan of all these single story stand-alone buildings. Plus, who puts round-abouts in an urban setting. That screams Beachwood.

It's not a collapse, Exactly. When I heard that phrase used on the news I thought how ridiculous. The media sensationalizing their news cast. The building did not partially collapse as they mentioned.

One man's opinion

I believe the blue path is to eventually terminate at a completed and much larger Canal Basin Park.

I think the brutal winter caused many delays, which prompted them to make value engineering changes in order to finish before the season starts. What a f-ing disaster that is though! Total butcher job. The guards are metal siding with sheet metal coping at the tops? At a Major League Stadium? Instead of looking like somebody thought about this upper deck renovation, it looks like they tried to accomplish a project with champagne taste on a sparkling grape juice budget. Ok I'm done for now until I see a game there first hand but so disappointing!

Other rumored office projects also were too geographically distant, or too nebulous, or aimed at larger companies. Could one of those rumored office projects be Jacob's PS property? Hmmmmm.

^That would be my guess as well. I believe providing a safety rail of some sort is an OSHA requirement during construction projects. Note the wood rails on all the tower floors.

This intersection is a absolute traffic nightmare right now. But it'll be a great development when completed.

That is disappointing indeed. Hopefully they will still add the steel components that line up with the canopy supports to break up the uninteresting flat curtain wall look we currently have.

A time-lapse video is now posted on the webcam portion of the project website. It stops at roughly November is construction sequence. http://www.cuyahogacounty.us/en-US/earthcam.aspx

Was Cuyahoga County right to delay construction of an iconic lakefront pedestrian bridge? CLEVELAND, Ohio - Of all the no-brainers on the civic agenda, this one was easy to spot. Throughout last summer and fall, project managers had said that an iconic, $25 million lakefront pedestrian bridge designed by Boston architect Miguel Rosales and recently funded by the city, state and Cuyahoga County, would be ready in time for the 2016 Republican National Convention. But it just didn't make sense. A selection committee of city, county and officials from nonprofit organizations didn't even pick the team of Rosales and the engineering firm of Parsons Brinckerhoff to design the bridge until late last summer. Getting the bridge built by 2016 would have required lightning speed in design, engineering, fabrication of huge steel beams and cables, and construction of the bridge over active lakefront railroad lines.

Wow, a boots on the ground update! Thanks!

It'll be interesting to see how they play against Indiana. They have kind of had the Cavs number this season, but a few of those games we were not at full strength. Almost would like to see the Cavs slip to the 3 seed, smoke Milwaukee and then smack around the Bulls for an East Finals showdown against the Hawks.

She's quite a presence from the west bank.

I'm also wondering if those protruding accent pieces will still be added in the future. It's hard to tell in the pictures but there could still be a slight recess to receive an accent stone.

Unless I'm missing something, to me looking at this pic and the rendering it seems like the setback on the Lakeside facade is there, with the raised area for the meeting rooms sitting back. That top picture was taken from Ontario, not Lakeside.

It's not the most recent but the upper patio was still indicated in both renderings.

I was commenting based on what I saw on the earthcam and compared to the renderings. Either way, I'm excited we have this construction project well underway.

There is only 4 floors in the main base. The setback appears to be the raised roof of the 4th floor meeting rooms. The renderings always showed an outdoor space on the fourth floor. They have now installed curtain wall flush with the walls below.

It looks like they changed the Lakeside design slightly. The renderings used to show what looked like an outdoor patio on the fourth floor. The curtain wall system installed so far is flush with the floors below.

It is interesting that 75 PS was slated to become a hotel from a prospective buyer. But once the Hilton was announced he backed out.
