I thought this was going to be the case, the rotunda has had some activity with sign removal on it.

the eyesore one reminds of cia's gund building

yea as of today they were still cleaning the site there

theres free parking there, so id say workers drive. at lunch time the places there do seem busy, just something i noticed. and id argue that the arts district and the chinatown ones are pretty much in the same places. from the E20s to the E50s/60s

i would say the place would be more successful due to its proximity to downtown, if the neighborhood cant manage to support it, the people who work downtown during the day most definately can. which is somewhat why chinatown is successful right now.

Building in the spirit of harmony Developers designing with feng shui in mind Sunday, April 24, 2005 Olivera Perkins Plain Dealer Reporter Gladys Lane will cut its way through the Florian Court townhouse development with a slight curve instead of a straight path. The bend is more than a minor zig- zag. "It slows down energy so that it will bring better prosperity and health to the residents," explained Diana Garber, a consultant for the project. Read More...

Intel imagines wireless Cleveland Chip maker offers its help in creating a cutting-edge regional network Thursday, April 07, 2005 Henry J. Gomez Plain Dealer Reporter Cleveland rarely tops the list of information-technology trendsetters. But by this time next year, police could be filing reports from the coffee shop. Building inspectors might be able to complete a walk-through with a few simple clicks. Officials from Intel Corp., the Silicon Valley computer chip-making giant, visited the rust belt this week to schmooze with politicians and local technology leaders about collaborations that could make Northeast Ohio one of the most wireless regions in the country. Intel has tapped Greater Cleveland to join Philadelphia and Corpus Christi, Texas, as the U.S. participants in its Digital Cities Initiative. The project offers the possibility of Intel funding and professional support to regions looking to enhance their wireless communications. Representatives from Intel presented their plans to Mayor Jane Campbell at a Wednesday breakfast. Among the possibilities discussed were mobile technology for building inspections and utility-meter readings, a digitally reformed public safety department and a "wireless cloud" that eventually could hover over all of Northeast Ohio. For Cleveland, it's a chance to promote a business-friendly atmosphere. More at Cleveland.com

wow couldnt they ask a cia student to make something better...?

connections to Lorain and Akron/Canton would be nice either that or make the red line into brt? :-P :wink:

^ very :wink:

in the paper it was showing recent expansions, this ones up there with the MoMA in NYC

Dont forget University Circle's 2 million sq ft campus that was just made public. 50 million square feet? good lord, if that happened we would be as well off as Toronto. The spin-off would be mindblowing

yea they really need to move into the Ameritrust highrise... and paint it...

so this is probably going to be something taller than 10 stories im assuming... heh this is amazing news, at first i didnt really think theyd do this when they first mentioned it, but now that they're looking for developers... wow... exciting. everything in that area is going to get a shot in the arm, not to mention the whole things with the EC

17+7, i think its showing a 17 story tower on top of the 7 story garage/retail actually

well i kinda liked the cia rendering I think if the photo is made proportional the tower looks rather proportional as well. Also i like the other renderings on the website, its nice to see some fresh ideas/concepts for cleveland for a change, regardless if they're realistic or "pretty" or whatever

whoa! nice, that thing looks like it rivals fifth third and national city. I know this is unrelated, but look at their "entertainment wheel" for the city http://chiarchitect.com/institutional/cleveland/night.JPG -gasp- why is that a Gehry skyscraper in the skyline?? along with ameritrust tower?? and CIA, omg cmon build this shit people, altho i do like the car factory... so i shouldnt complain.

whoa, what the hell? i doubt this is going to happen though

wow this sounds great!

wow i really dont like seeing these renderings. the one looks like a different city altogether with TT plopped in the middle.

ya know i saw the tip of of The Pinnacle from Lorain/Carnegie downtown. It barely dented the skyline, but still, if something 20+ stories got built in the lot where the crain is it would definately be adding height to that area and it would be a noticeable skyline change.

wonderful shots, i just drove through there last week umm also "pounded" is putting it lightly lol i woke up to 1 F and 2 feet of snow

actually i remember there being a private developer wanting to buy the islands off of Forest City. "Scaravelli Islands" he wanted to create out of it. But he only was offering $50 million for it
