Anyone hear anything new on Nucleus. http://www.starkenterprises.com/properties/nucleus/

In this article written May 2016 it said that construction would start on the 925 at the end of the 2nd Qtr 2016. Well it is the 1st Qtr 2017 and I believe that construction has yet to start. Actually the author missed on construction start times on all the projects that he wrote about. http://rebusinessonline.com/why-clevelands-thriving-downtown-apartment-market-is-on-solid-footing/

Exactly what intersection is this picture. I seem to not be able to pinpoint it.

Thanks. Are you sure? To me it seemed like it was a tall lanky skinny guy. That's why I thought it was James Jones. Does anyone have the clip?

I have always wondered but i am not sure. Maybe someone here knows for sure. In game 7 against Golden State when the 4th quarter clock winded down to :00 and the celebration started, One of of Cav's players goes running (flying) across the court towards the other end in celebration. Who is that player or Who is that person. I am thinking it is James Jones. Does anyone know for sure?

Kasich signs bills. However there is a looming federal tax credit issue. Kasich signs law providing catalytic credits for big Cleveland, Akron projects

Just spoke with someone who had some contact with the nucleus architects and and according to them this project will happen.

I have some chatter info. I spoke with someone involved in another project. They happened to come across someone involved with the architects involved in the Nucleus project. According to that person there is a substantial funding gap. This gap would require Stark to substantially scale back the project. It appears that Stark does not want to scale back that much. Also, as time goes on Benesch needs to make a decision on their move. The longer this drags on the less chance they will committ because of their lease. This person involved with the architects feels that this project will not happen. This project needs to scale back & start construction soon.

Tax Credits awarded for upper floor renovation. http://realestate.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2016/12/four_northeast_ohio_buildings.html

This is great news. Hopefully this goes thru. Also, hopefully they can get enough tax credits to go forward and purchase the building and go forward with the project.

Somehow - you did not attach pictures

Preach, preach, preach! Lol. And people bring up Vegas, well guess what? Vegas WANTS sports teams. i wonder why, maybe because they see that it's worth it to have? They are going to have at least 2 of the big 4 and don't be surprised if they end up with 3 or all 4 of the big 4 by the mid-2020s. And people keep comparing us to markets that are smaller than us. If that's how they view the city in their mind, that's their business. But last I checked (which was yesterday lol) we are still a major market. And it matters. But by all means, let's strip away our sports teams, our arts facilities, and anything that we've used public dollars to pay for and just fill potholes. ? Now I will say that Browns stadium people have an argument for. We should've demanded a dome. Still not too late. But funny thing happened when the Browns left town: it made the city look bad on the national stage. When you are in a locale that has a bad reputation and not viewed as the hipster paradise mega city that we should all bow down to, you need to be doing things to get more attention to yourself on a national stage in a way that you can control the narrative. The Cavs had a lot to do with making the perception of Cleveland cool among people who aren't on forums like this. Lebron's first run here basically created the demand for East 4th Street and most of us know that. I work in the entertainment industry here and i can tell you, I would not still be here if we weren't a major market with major market stuff. It makes it hard to retain talent and it's a harder sell if there's NOTHING HERE. Where am I supposed to take a client to for a night out in the city, Starbucks? ? And we STILL don't have enough to do. I can't tell you how many times I've been with celebrities here (local or national) that was looking for clubs or somewhere to go and party and it was either closed or it was dead because it wasn't a game night. We are still an events driven market. I've done parties here too and unless it's specialized with your own built in audience like we have, it's extremely difficult to get people in Cleveland to come out just for the hell out it, especially outside of the summer months. So in the fall and winter months, a lot of our downtown establishments LIVE on sports, concerts and other event traffic. I know that for a fact. That's how they survive. And a lot of people here would be perfectly fine with losing all of that. Sure, let the facilities get dilapidated and let the Q stop getting major concerts and events, then we can create the hipster paradise that people seem to want. And I guess this is just a fundamental disagreement and difference in philosophy that I have with many of you here. Many of you want to be Portland. I want to be a micro New York. That's WHY I support the sports teams having competitive facilities, that's WHY i support public funding of Cleveland arts, that's WHY I like big and flashy and attention grabbing stuff in the city, that's why I support the movies filming here, that's why I support all of that. We are a major market and I want us to behave like it. Some of you are content with acting like we're in the bottom 20 instead of the top 20. Your preogrative I guess I agree with inlovewithcle. Does anybody rememember Cleveland's downtown when the Cavs played in the Richfield Coliseum? How hopping was it at that time.

That's Good News.

Found it upthread. Although the tab is now higher — $60 million instead of $53 million when the Weingart and Whitestone-led group won state historic preservation tax credits last December — the project still incorporates 171 luxury apartments, 15,000 square feet of first-floor commercial space, and a fitness center. The former banquet room will become part of an events center. When completed, the block-long building will remove a big part of the “dead zone” of undeveloped properties between East 12th and East Ninth streets. The quest to redevelop the property began in 2007, when a realty development group led by Eli Mann bought the building and failed to assemble redevelopment financing. Bobeck said Sandvick Architects of Cleveland is designing the redo, and Welty Construction Co. of Akron will serve as the general contractor. Richard Sheehan, a Newmark Grubb Knight Frank broker, handled the sale of the building.
