"We've got to apply for the credits, and with construction costs what they are now and the lack of vendors and every other problem out there, we're probably going to sit on the building." Maybe the timeline got pushed up?

March 15, 20232 yr Those tenants will be very lucky to live so close to CIty Tap. My goodness they have some decent specials. $3 crafts 8-9pm, at least back in the day.
March 16, 20232 yr The cornice on that building is the most beautiful in the city. I’m sure Doug will do a good job of lighting it up properly.
March 16, 20232 yr Man this project really started out of nowhere! Love that the apartment momentum downtown is still continuing!

April 13, 20232 yr Can’t wait until new residents and storefronts add a nice boost of energy to this area! Such a beautiful building.
May 1, 20232 yr Interior demo is full on underway at UCC building. Two full roll on dumpsters full as I walked by at lunch. You can kind of peek into the windows but not much is visible to be honest.
May 8, 20232 yr Also, a nice flashback to the earlier years of my urban planning experiences.... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

June 22, 20231 yr ^ wat the heck? why? thats a huge parking garage. surely it can get more $$$ as an existing garage than as a lot???
June 22, 20231 yr ^ Believe me, you wouldn’t want to park in there. Decrepit isn’t a strong enough word. Their insurers probably made them close and demo it. My hovercraft is full of eels
June 24, 20231 yr The Hamilton Garage above RadAir is in similar shape. When I parked there two years ago many spots were unavailable because they had shoring posts in the middle of them. A google review that I just read says that there are now holes in the concrete allowing you to see the deck below. 😱
July 7, 20231 yr Bedrock gets OK to raze parking garage. https://www.crainscleveland.com/real-estate/bedrock-gets-ok-raze-shuttered-downtown-cleveland-garage

Does anybody actually calendar these deadlines. Still waiting for the city to enforce the conditions on the New York Spag House surface lot.

July 8, 20231 yr 10 minutes ago, KJP said: The city forgets about these things and the property owners aren't going to remind them. I pretty much understand that is what happens. I also imagine there is an element of "not wanting to piss off the developer" who may be doing things elsewhere in the city and, if pressed, may just say they are going to take their ball and go home. This will probably especially be the case at this location given everything Bedrock says it will be doing on the riverfront and how the city generally bends over backwards for the company. I afraid this site may be a parking lot for a long time to come unless Bedrock sells to another developer. As I have stated in the past, I am still trying to figure out why they bought the property in the first place. Edited July 8, 20231 yr by Htsguy
July 8, 20231 yr Will this site be a part of ballpark Village? And what is the status of that idea? We have not heard anything about it in quite a while.

But other properties/sites appear to have more activity, or at least rumors of activity. BTW, demo may start today for Apartments at Bolivar.

July 13, 20231 yr Don't think I have ever noticed this building. This whole stretch of downtown could be so much more than it is...

Sadly, it'll probably just turn into more parking but I'm hoping it doesn't. The new coffee shop here (Solstice Roasters) is excellent and Aladdins has always been an awesome spot. More and more office workers on this end too. Would be an incredible thing to see more infill here and down East 14th.

No further info was provided from that date. Could this be it?

It really could. Have Knez fill up that area with some of those mansard style row houses they’re doing on Superior.
October 18, 20231 yr 700 Prospect really is one of Downtown’s overlooked / hidden gem buildings. So excited for it to get some much needed attention and new life once the reno is done!
October 30, 20231 yr I don't know who the property owner is but at Zoning today they proposed to demolish the Black Oxide building and replace it with a gravel parking lot. Zoning turned them down stating that it must be paved with landscaping. They asked if it could be temporarily gravel after the building demo until they can earn enough revenue through parking fees to pave the lot. Zoning agreed to send it to design review. These parking lot people are evil, they never stop. They contribute nothing to society and probably don't even live here. Until we make it harder and less profitable for them to do business it will never end. I hope for something better for that corner.

Until we correct the current system, demolition for parking is the most profitable business model. Pay property taxes on a structure you have no interest in? Or make cash money from surface parking, now that the building is gone, and property taxes are next to nothing? It should’ve been addressed decades ago. It needs to be now.
