Why do we build so many of these structures with the most drab colors? It seems the insulation underneath the exterior of many buildings is more interesting and uplifting than the exterior.

Fairview Hospital unveils North Campus options By Ken Prendergast / April 10, 2024 At a community meeting this evening at Fairview Hospital, Cleveland Clinic Foundation officials showed five design options for developing a new clinical building containing the Moll Cancer Center and medical offices plus a new parking garage on Fairview Hospital’s North Campus, north of Lorain Avenue. While there were some variations in the scale and shaping of the clinical building, the greatest difference between the options was where and how to construct a new parking garage or three.

Don't know. Not the kind of development I really pay attention to.

Don't remember. Probably read about it.

On the other hand, building parking garages at stations lets the rest of the parking lot and other land at stations be redeveloped. The garages can be used for park-n-ride riders during the day and residents at night. And make it paid parking so that there's a legal contract with terms and responsibilities. So as not to discourage ridership, have the parking ticket you get when you enter double as an RTA day pass or have your RTA fare media (ie weekly/monthly pass) double as a tap-and-go parking ticket. If you get a monthly parking pass (for tenants of the station-area development), that would also double as an RTA monthly pass. That might also boost evening/weekend ridership. These would probably also be applicable for meeting the city's Transportation Demand Strategies in developing at RTA stations.

Could be. My son plays soccer for Spire and Lakewood United FC and we're always having schedule conflicts at facilities for practices and games. It's tough to find space.

Apparently this is a new and improved one! Woo hoo!

You've got to be kidding me

That's a Tony George property. It will be redeveloped as a medical marijuana dispensary RISE Lakewood. https://oh.risecannabis.com/dispensaries/ohio/lakewood-madison/

My guess based on scant info is that the Berea development is going to be a place that might, in addition to Haslam Sports/Browns offices, host Browns training/practices as well as host youth sports including training plus high school/college playoffs and championships in football, soccer, lacrosse etc. There may also be wellness programs and a few restaurants and a hotel for these visitors. While I thought the NFL/Browns-related retailers would be at Berea, now I'm not so sure.

Neuro Building

Only in the last couple of years have the owners of the Cavs and Guardians got directly involved in real estate around the Gateway venues (which they do not own). And the Dolans have gotten involved in acquiring real estate only because a new minority owner (soon-to-be majority owner) want to be involved. The Haslams are involved in real estate in a big way, both in Columbus and in Berea. And, BTW, the city of Columbus didn't pay anything for the new crew stadium, although the city did make a direct contribution to repurpose the old Crew stadium.

More so, the developer couldn't buy the corner properties.

Finally got around to this Rezoning recommended for Ohio City project By Ken Prendergast / April 9, 2024 In February 2023, the first of many public meetings were held for a medium-sized development called 45 West proposed by Cleveland-based My Place Group on Lorain Avenue at West 45th Street in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood. More than a year later, a rezoning request was recommended by the City Planning Commission to City Council to allow the project to move forward.

Cleveland skyscraper’s new owner plans upgrades By Ken Prendergast / April 8, 2024 Purchase of Downtown Cleveland’s third-tallest skyscraper last week was officially confirmed today by the skyscraper’s new owner.

Missed this one. It was introduced and passed on one day last month (March 4). But they picked the wrong proposed LD train to urge its rerouting...

Article updated with more information. The DBL proposal would renovate the tower as a courthouse but would have to find temporary courthouse space elsewhere during renovation. It would move all of the courthouse functions twice and build a roughly 200,000-square-foot courthouse addition.

Thanks. Despite what Kelly says, they've made three decisions so far.

County courthouse to have new address? By Ken Prendergast / April 5, 2024 A Cuyahoga County committee has reportedly rejected all but one of the proposals that could have kept a Consolidated Courthouse at the current site of Downtown Cleveland's existing Justice Center. NEOtrans has learned that, of the four surviving proposals, one involves a complicated, time-consuming double-move of courthouse functions from the current site and back again. If rejected, it would end a five-decade run of the Justice Center site as a law enforcement, adjudication and penal facility and set the stage for its redevelopment.

Not that I'm aware of. There's some good people there. But no one is going to stick their neck out unless told to.

How about a Sunday morning boomer? Wait, that may not be something enjoyable!

@ExPatClevGuy yeah but I had the scoop on it... 😉 https://neo-trans.blog/2023/06/12/astro-to-launch-from-a-hard-rock/
