freethink

These guys just keep their heads down and continue to do great work, without all the drama. Need more like them.

Maybe about 10 years ago there was talk about the Crawford Auto Museum moving back downtown. I wonder if that's what this depicts.

@KJP Have you heard that the hotel component is still in play? Also all that retail scares me. We're just not there yet...

Yeah that's what I was thinking but it shows Campbell Sweets which I think is local right?. And none of the other properties has them. It also shows Jan 2021 as when the property would be available, so that probably puts them at a 2021 Summer opening maybe.

Lookee what I found... https://www.loopnet.com/xNet/Looplink/TmplEngine/ListingProfilePage.aspx?LID=17731035&siteid=3349&LL=true

Not sure if this graphic has been posted yet. It's from today.

^ I think it was about a year-and-a-half ago Ohio released some funding to demolish most of those buildings at the top of the hill, although I can't find the article right now. They were supposed to come down this passed fall / winter so I'm not sure what the delay is. Hopefully there's no snags in this. Except for that building on the corner.

If you haven't noticed they have removed the RMFH signage on the West and South side of the building. When that first went up I had never seen letters attached in the way they did it. It looked really bad. Alot of extra framing that was left exposed. So I saw a building permit for that about a month ago (can't find it now) that describes replacing the framing. I hope that's what it is because it did not look good. Here is how it looked

The Loopnet posting for the Thunderbird site is now listed as For Lease/Relet. It is usually listed as For Sale. I wonder if that might make it more attractive for commercial tenants as opposed to residential. I am sure they have pitched it to SW, I mean who hasn't. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/Scranton-Peninsula-Cleveland-OH/12944713/

I wonder why SW just wouldn't stay on their current R&D site where they have been for over 100 years. There is enough room to build other buildings on the existing parking lots and green space, when those are finished you move everything a couple hundred foot, then tear the existing buildings down and replace with surface parking or garages.

Despite push back from various groups looks like some prelim work is out for bid. RFPs/RFQs: Police Headquarters: Material Testing, Geotechnical, Environmental and General Engineering Services The City of Cleveland is soliciting proposals from pre-qualified ODOT firms for engineering services for new Police Headquarters located west of East 75th St. and Grand Avenue. http://www.city.cleveland.oh.us/node/164337

Reconstruction of E 105th from Wade Park to Bratenal should start this month. It will be done in phases, the first should last a year and cover about 1.5 miles. This is much needed, every time I am on that stretch I can't wait to get off. But with all the new and coming development in that area it is going to make a huge difference. Unfortunately the burying of utility lines gets the axe again. Must be crazy expensive. This might be part of the OC project though I am not sure. https://www.cleveland.com/cityhall/2020/01/road-construction-project-on-east-side-artery-to-begin-tuesday-will-disrupt-traffic-for-a-year.html

^Damn this is a good day!!

Thnx for your efforts @KJP I can't wait to see what may be announced over the next 12 months because of this decision. So many opportunities for new development in and around these new buildings. And as for connectivity from Scranton, Skylift anyone?

So the Landmarks agenda shows improvements coming to the Westside Market/Produce building. The render shown is from the year 2000 from the White Admin. Kind of odd.

You could check out The Edge on Euclid. It is geared toward student housing but I think it's open to all. Has 4 bdr. New building.

Yes I can't wait to see what's planned at St. Michael's. It could be awesome! And btw @jrosen no one is going to question your vision. You guys do great stuff...

These should go up quick. Going to look great from the river.

In Crains today there is a piece about the upcoming Blockland conference. But a short sentence regarding CityBlock saying that there will be an announcement on Tues. Dec 3rd. Might be just more of what we already know or something new. Stay tuned.

Nosotros the rock climbing gym in Lakewood is opening a second location, downtown next to the Amazon (2020 Euclid) store. Should be open in early Feb.

I pass by this location sometimes on Woodland Ave where this restaurant will open. Woodland is a pretty cool Street as you pass by Woodland Cemetery of which they are currently restoring the gatehouse. We need more people like the woman who is opening up this up because all her friends told her to open it up in the suburbs. I know I will definitely give it a try once it opens just because she took a chance. https://www.wkyc.com/article/life/food/crispy-chick-cleveland-new-restaurant/95-b4fdcf5a-b8da-42be-9ea6-443c893c4729

Permits are up.

There is also a duplicate docket on that same page for the Garfield bldg.

There is a lot more of that concept from Tha Austin CO. with a video. The one thing I like is how they use the corner of the current Hdqs as part of the proposal. Still hoping that one day something, anything is built there. https://t.co/CUygiAV12v?amp=1
