Harness Cycle in Ohio City looking at second location in the Garfield Building, errr ....Corning Place.

Talmer Bank and Trust which according to the sign on the Stark property as providing financing for the Nucleus project is merging with Chemical Bank. Wonder if this is having any effect as Stark continues to seek financing. The Chemical Bank board will now call the shots. Could be good could be bad. http://www.freep.com/story/money/business/michigan/2016/01/26/talmer-bank-chemical-bank/79340328/

Something to keep an eye on. http://nadaaa.com/blog/?p=8633

I am thinking those buildings will see a lot of giant RNC signage across the facade.

Red Line Greenway Beautification on 4/2 http://sharetheriver.com/blog/2016/3/31/red-line-greenway-beautification-on-42

A very mediocre sign for a very high profile location. I always hoped the 'Free Stamp' would find it's way back to where it was originally intended. BTW does Benesch know they are moving in about three years? Right. Right...

Well they are determined to get a country place for FEB and apparently the group Rascal Flats has formed a restaurant group and will be opening in one of the spaces in the apartment building.

A couple of slideshows of some of the renovations. http://tribevibe.mlblogs.com/2016/03/21/photo-gallery-cleveland-indians-construction-photos-show-more-headway-at-progressive-field/ http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20160326/NEWS/160329834/tribes-new-tech-game-is-top-notch-with-photo-gallery#PhotoSwipe1458995333246

Just for reference regarding the footprint for possible development at BKL

Props to this poster for their source as far as the timetable/takeover is concerned. Also, this is a great opportunity for Tower City and it comes at the right time when other things are happening. Below is an image from the mjarboe[/member] article. I wonder when Cleveland Thermal is demolished next year that space will also be in play for Gilbert or someone. Exciting times.

Regarding the roof sign on the 'Q' . To me it's upside down. When a blimp/copter/drone flies over for a shot they would approach from the North to view the sign, totally missing a shot of the skyline/lake in the background. The best shot would be to approach from the south coming toward the city with a view of the 'Q' and the city/lake in the background. And yes I was also hoping for something like the StaplesCenter/AT&T sign. Or something like this...

Remember this? A towering real estate move might be in the offing “Tower City Shops LLC” is the head-turning name of a foreign corporation registered Jan. 9 with the Ohio Secretary of State’s office. The moniker immediately brings to mind The Avenue at Tower City Center, the downtown shopping center that Cleveland-based Forest City Enterprises Inc. came close to selling last summer. Adding to the intrigue: The filing was by lawyer Howard N. Luckoff of Detroit, whose name also appears on legal documents associated with property deals that Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert’s Rock Gaming has executed for Horseshoe Cleveland Casino. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20150131/FREE/150139976/a-towering-real-estate-move-might-be-in-the-offing

After a little research looks like Dan Gilbert and SHop are involved in a couple of proposed projects in Detroit. So it looks like there is a relationship. Edit: One last point on the rehab of the 'Q' . When it was first made public in late '14 that a proposal was being put together to present to the county for the rehab it was rumored that a very glassy facade was the look that was being discussed for the 'Q'. So this is just speculation on my part but SHop has done this before. Forest City brought in SHop to jazz up the exterior of the Barclay Center after the early renderings from Ellerby Becket were disappointing. So SHop was brought in as the Facade Architect. So maybe something is in the works.

Yes I thought that also. It makes me wonder if they are involved in the rumored 'behind the scenes' rehab of The Q. Which would be exciting.

The 'Q' is getting some type of rooftop signage/digital board. I always liked the rooftop branding on the top of arenas, think 'Staples Center'. No renderings yet.
