December 5, 20195 yr Interestingly, it appears that this building will be fronting on the small alley, not on the wonderful new grass moat park that MetroHealth is building between itself and W. 25th St. Instead, the new "park" will get the parking lot and a substation (with screening!) along its frontage. They don't seem to have any faith in their park. Or, don't know or care how to plan a cohesive urban neighborhood.
December 5, 20195 yr 2 hours ago, X said: Or, don't know or care how to plan a cohesive urban neighborhood. For as much as NRP builds and for as much as I love them for doing that, they aren't exactly the best when it comes to urbanist design. From what I've seen, it only works out well when someone else behind the development pushes them towards urbanism. Look at the original Scranton Peninsula plan to see how bad they are at it. And then look at Slavic Village Gateway, the difference being that University Settlement and SVD specifically pushed for urbanism.
December 5, 20195 yr Which is ironic because NRP recognizes that the biggest growth market is in urban housing, hence their reasoning for wanting to move downtown to take a deeper dive into urbanism. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
December 5, 20195 yr But they’d have to have a non-90 degree L-shape in the building if they fronted the building towards the park!!!
December 5, 20195 yr I've always been told that non 90 degree angle floorplans makes construction somewhat more difficult, and therefore somewhat more expensive. But I don't know the truth of that. And always holding to that constraint makes anything but the most bland urban design impossible.
December 5, 20195 yr Ben Beckman, investor behind the J. Spang Bakery conversion to apartments appears to be purchasing vacant land north of Barber Ave around w 32nd Pl. A good sign that the apartments are selling well and that he may be pursuing new construction in the area.

The commission on Friday approved schematic design plans for a mixed-use building that developer NRP Group, in partnership with MetroHealth, plans to build at 3400 West 25th St., across from the health system’s main campus on the near West Side. Developers plan to use the first floor of the market-rate development to support a small business such as a grocery store, Zucca said. “We are not looking for a national chain,” he said. https://www.cleveland.com/business/2019/12/city-planning-commission-oks-early-designs-for-mixed-use-projects-near-metrohealth-campus.html Edited December 24, 20195 yr by MuRrAy HiLL

And there's more to come in that 2.5-mile-long corridor. A rough count of development projects recently completed, underway or planned in this corridor reveals 25 notable real estate construction or renovation investments valued or potentially valued at more than $1 million. In total, it features up to 1,700 housing units and hundreds of thousands of square feet of new commercial space.

Gentrification is one of the few, if not only, way Cleveland neighborhoods are going to turn around. It's not a 100% positive in Cleveland. There has been a lot of displacement on the west side especially of poor Latino communities. The Puerto Rican community in Detroit Shoreway has been almost completely wiped out. We are also seeing elderly fixed income residents forced out by their property taxes increasing 40%+. I am not anti development but I want it to be done responsibly. The best way to do that is to have community involvement in the development and to not have a situation where the developer reaps all the profits and leaves the residents holding the bag.

May 15, 20205 yr It's too bad Chuck Columbo built that Family Dollar before this is old gem is due to be renovated. A new multi-story building at the corner of West 65 and Clark -- that didn't turn its back on the intersection -- and had a Family Dollar on the ground floor would have been 1,000 times better. BTW, what's the story with that 1914 picture of the brewery in the CPC's PDF? There's a postcard from 1901 that shows a much larger building on the corner. Was it only a rendering? Or was demolished by 1914? Here's the postcard. This is the only size I could find that was a "straight-on" view. I'm waiting to hear if a collector I know has a larger/high-res version. This was on E-bay I found this c1905-10 view looking north on West 65th toward the new underpass below the railroad with the Pilsner Brewing Co. on the left.

However, the project missed the latest opportunity to win a $817,050 competitive New Affordability tax credit from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. The landmark designation will position the $8.5 million project to win potentially large historic tax credits from the state and/or federal governments to restore and convert the building into 39 apartments. The brewery was constructed in 1894 and was expanded rapidly with additional structures that are no longer standing. The company which brewed P.O.C. beer and other brands closed in 1984.
