^the current 3rd District is on Chester in University Circle not on Payne downtown.

It is the parking garage for the complex on E 9th. Picture shows the far south end.

^and just think if they had added floors and put condos on top. :wink:

^My brilliant idea. Lets talk NEW mixed use. Let's talk getting together with the Playhouse Square Association. Let's talk about that parking lot on Euclid next to the Hanna Building which the PSA supposedly wants to see housing on. I would imagine the Association would bend over backwards to get that lot developed and would assist mightly. A win win for both groups.

loving this more and more...can't wait to see the finished product.

^I believe (although not sure) there is one on Star Plaza.

^I think you mean National Terminus (spelling) not Bridgeview.

^^got me thinking...is there a golf course in Cleveland proper?

Absolutely shocked :wink: This deserves a very embarrassing e mail to somebody.

^doesn't really matter since they are both simply pretty pictures somebody pulled out of thin air and do not rep. the finished product.

since an architect has not yet been retained it is fair to say that nobody know exactly what the building will look like at this point. (see michelle's post upthread).

I had to chuckle when I read your comment. For almost my entire life I hated mid century modern. For some strange reason I imagined it as "cheap" which really is not the case. In the past five years I have come to really admire it and would have no trouble living in such a house (especially one with lots of windows). You are right...funny how taste's change.

^the church will be no more. They want to re-use church materials if possible. The proposal is on the previous page.

I don't think curved glass is set in stone as the picture is an old conceptual issued by UCI a while back. Michelle's article notes that First Interstate has not yet (of course not at this point) hired an architect for the design. I do like the look of the conceptual. I try not to be a negative Nellie on the board, but per Michelle's article, this has many hurdles in order to become a reality. Hopefully this does not become Intesta II. Glad to see people in the city are working on visions like this. It may take a while but things do get done as I noted today driving on Chester and seeing all the activity on the Upper Chester project.

^Yeah I always thought the Gothic Buildings constructed on the Yale campus in the 1920's make that campus look so "ridiculous".

This was tried before and did not work.

^I did not read the 3 proposals in detail at this point (intend to do so) but WOW the Brickhaus conceptuals are something else and would look great at that intersection given the surrounding neighborhood. Also, proven track record of financing and getting things done.

^^Actually are you referring to the Engineers Building? which is north of the Society Building in that picture. It was torn down for what is now the Marriott and Key tower.

^That is 75 Public Square. It is right next to and to the west of Old Stone Church.

^Common Hts., you know better than to counter such comments with facts :wink:

Add me to the list of somebody who does not understand this project and its goals. Not what I thought it was going to be.

Really? You would rather have those buildings on Public Square rather than the Higbee Building, Terminal Tower and Renaissance Hotel, three of the grandest buildings in Cleveland.

Thanks for the pics. As a side note it amazes me how much misinformation is spouted by "people" (the media) who are supposedly in the know about things in this town. I was getting my weekly headache from the clowns on the Friday news round up on WCPN and they were "gee wiz-ing" about the Flats East Bank. One of many mindless things stated were that people were complaining that it was all national chains in the Flats and nothing local. I guess except Ken Stewarts, Lago, Willeyville, Crop and Flip Side (a local chain).

And I don't want to be the one to throw cold water on this but I hope it is not the same kind of "development agreement" that was signed with Coral for Intesa (giving them an option for a year which has long passed) allowing them time to seek tenants and financing. I hope financing is already in order and this is basically a go.

I am guessing there is definitely something to this as this is the second recent post (although both vague) regarding the spot (see "go tribe" 's post from the previous page Reply 2242) suggesting development will be sooner rather than latter. OK Michelle time for you to jump on this :wink:
