February 17, 20223 yr Looks like iHeartMedia is finally moving into their new space! The window construction banners are down and there are people/activities happening inside. The transparency, brightness and activation here is pretty awesome - what a difference from the full and lifeless stretch this used to be!

Out of curiosity I put in for 1BR - 4/1-4/30 - comes out to a grand total of $5,041.07 😬.

That's not too bad honestly. ~170 a night for what essentially is a suite with a full kitchen, plus the level of amenities you get is pretty good when the alternative would be staying in another hotel for that time. For comparison, the Extended Stay in Beachwood is on special for $78 a night for a one bed studio (with cleaning included) for that same time period. The standard rate for that room their appears to be $110 a night. I think we can all agree Roost will be a much higher level.

They are most likely stock photos and one is from Spruce St. in Philadelphia.
March 16, 20223 yr Yeah I think we have to remember that it is law firms and other businesses who will be paying this for their employees or people with high income. The average middle class person is not the target here at all.

I reached out to Roost regarding their use of non-Cleveland pictures and I received this nice reply: ”Thank you so much for bringing this error to our attention. We accidentally launched the site with placeholder photos from Philadelphia. This has been removed. We have a photo shoot of Cleveland scheduled next week and will have local photos up shortly. We love our new city and look forward to being a part of the community. Let me know if you are interested in coming in for a tour.” I’m looking forward to seeing the Cleveland pictures posted to their website.
March 18, 20223 yr Random observation - the latest developments between E105 and E55 have really served to bring this whole stretch together (other than the islands close to E55 - but hopefully that changes soon). Not long ago if I was taking an out-of-towner into the city I'd avoid Euclid. It now shows better than Carnegie and a good part of Chester. That said, the maintenance of the street is typical Cleveland shabby. Broken concrete, gravel all of the sidewalks from the asphalt repairs and the mandatory non-working street lights. I know we're coming off winter but the city just can't seem to maintain ANYTHING.

May 1, 20223 yr That is a good article, and May Company is the headliner. It made a good point that these old Dept stores are great for conversion, high ceilings and large windows are features that make a logical conversion to desireable residential units.
May 21, 20223 yr Downtown Cleveland to Get Five Iron Golf Simulator, Restaurant and BarWe can soon add Five Iron Golf to Northeast Ohio's growing collection of golf simulator entertainment concepts. The new venture will join ProXimity Golf Lounge in Cleveland Heights, the recently opened West Bank Golf Club in the Tank West Bank in the Flats, and others. The Cleveland spot will be the company's second in Ohio and seventh in the Midwest, with more planned for the region. Five Iron has signed a lease for a 16,000-square-foot street-level space in the new Euclid Grand (1101 Euclid Ave.) complex downtown. The New York-based company, which launched in 2017 and has grown to a collection of 13 locations across eight cities, is considered one of the leading indoor golf and entertainment experiences around.https://www.clevescene.com/food-drink/downtown-cleveland-to-get-five-iron-golf-simulator-restaurant-and-bar-38969438?media=AMP+HTMLSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

July 26, 20222 yr Talk about filling in Euclid Avenue! Five Iron Golf to fill four storefronts By Ken Prendergast / July 26, 2022 Downtown Cleveland’s Euclid Avenue is a bit of a dead zone between East 9th and East 12th streets, but it’s not for a lack of residential. Almost every building on both sides of the street were converted from offices to residential uses over the past decade. What silences this stretch of downtown’s historic main street is the scarcity of ground-floor activities.

Euclid is filling up! I think there are too many lots in the urban core that needs to be filled up before we consider tearing down any building. I want to see us focus on empty lots on prospect, huron and bolivar. This will create a nice block of activity.
May 24, 20232 yr I agree, but I was thinking that the demand to be on Euclid between Public Square and E17th could outweigh the benefits and savings in building on an empty lot in another area of downtown. I don't know much about the building located at 1110 Euclid, the two-three story building in the pic below (I think that it is the correct address). But it appears there was once a taller building on this site. I was looking at the City Club Webcam and it stood out to me. This is a prime location.t Edited May 24, 20232 yr by dski44

Is it because of lack of parking or is there an increase cost for building on top of an existing structure?
