June 19, 20204 yr I liked the old design better. The W25th side with the flat roof still looks fine, but the rest of it looks like a suburban/airport style 2 star hotel that could be anywhere.
July 7, 20204 yr Construction due to start on Metro Gateway North Apartments, 3400 West 25th St, 30-60 days after all subcontractor bids are received by the general contractor on July 14.

July 21, 20204 yr Thanks again to @tykaps! MONDAY, JULY 20, 2020 West Side gem may sparkle again as Arch at St. Michaels Considered by some historic preservationists as one of the rare architectural gems on the city's West Side, St. Michael School is in the hands of local interests seeking to restore the luster to this weathered jewel. The five-story school building with its statues of saints and other ornaments was threatened with demolition when the property fell into foreclosure nearly three years ago. But last year, a group of investors acquired the property at 3146 Scranton Rd. to save and restore the building. The group, led by SoTre Properties' Managing Partner Eric Lutzo along with Kim F. Bixenstine and her husband Bart. Lutzo of Shaker Heights, engaged CHN Housing Partners of Cleveland to purchase and redevelop the site. Hiti, DiFrancesco & Siebold, Inc. of Cleveland is the project's architect.

July 21, 20204 yr That building is an absolute palace. It always struck me as something you'd see in Budapest or Vienna. Great to see it on the road to being saved. CHN Housing Partners is a great organization to be involved.

August 25, 20204 yr @KJPper google maps it already has a name: The Yard by Phunkenship. With an adjacent building to the East a brewery called Phunkenship? Some association to platform brewing
August 25, 20204 yr Its their sour haus. When brewing sours it is a good idea to have those beers isolated from the main brewery so as not to contaminate the normal production beers with wild yeast strains.
October 9, 20204 yr Six-house pocket neighborhood comes to Fenwick Avenue “A new development in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood will create affordable houses for first-time home buyers. Community Rebuilders LLC...is leading construction on a pocket neighborhood that will contain six bungalow-style houses located on Fenwick Avenue.” https://www.thelandcle.org/stories/six-house-pocket-neighborhood-comes-to-fenwick-avenue
October 19, 20204 yr I drive by the Fenwick houses almost every day in picking up my son from school at Menlo. That neighborhood is a mix of stark differences -- between the crumbling houses with the junked cars in their yards, the small machine shops, and these new houses as well as the Asbury Towers townhouses that started 15 years ago by Ameri-Con which ran into the FBI. On another matter, Dodge Reports shows a Nov. 1 start for NRP's Metro Health South Apartment Complex.

December 23, 20204 yr TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2020 Seeds & Sprouts XIV - Early intel on real estate projects Platform Beer Co. to start beer garden work A building permit application was submitted this week by Platform Beer Co. for its proposed The Yard Beer Garden, 3332 Sackett Ave., in Cleveland's Clark-Fulton neighborhood. The site is an unused, 0.4-acre lot on the southwest corner of Sackett and West 32nd Street, acquired by Platform Beer for $80,000 with additional acquisitions possible. With an estimated investment of about $500,000, the site will be cleared of underbrush and improved. That includes renovating an existing, one-story, 1,152-square-foot brick building that was used as a convenience store and boxing gym.

The few times I've been in Phunkenship it feels like a world separate from C-F no matter the season.

February 3, 20214 yr @tykaps Do you know how far down Clark this stretches? I'm guessing the plaza with the Little Caesar's will remain, but will it take over the parcel with the auto repair shop? Or is this just the vacant lots over to the corner?

February 3, 20214 yr Clark is such a strange street with all the suburban-esque box stores, drive thrus and massive parking lots (I'm thinking of W.25-Fulton section in particular). Not sure how you fix that (or does it need to be fixed??) but residential on the street definitely will help! Edited February 3, 20214 yr by GISguy

Theres a lot of empty lots and mechanic garages that could eventually be built on to create more of a street presence

I just drove down Clark from Scranton to 65th for the first time in a couple of years, and boy howdy has the street resurfacing made a huge difference. I agree that the stretch you are mentioning feels odd, but it still looks better there than it did 5 years ago. And, as you get into the W40s and 50s it definitely starts to feel more urban. As an aside, does anyone know what those white poles are that are being installed around 25th and Clark? Edited February 3, 20214 yr by Ineffable_Matt spelling

As an aside, does anyone know what those white poles are that are being installed around 25th and Clark? I was wondering the same thing when I was over that way. My first guess was bus shelters. It also could be some type of gateway to the area (I know when La Villa Hispana was first taking off they had mentioned a gateway to that area). I'm just as curious as you lol. Also I totally agree that really once you get past Fulton there's def industry but some cool buildings (like the old news building across from the cemetery) that should definitely be saved once things start pushing that way.
February 6, 20214 yr THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2021 First new multi-family housing in a century planned on Clark Ave. Clark Avenue is one of those strange streets in Cleveland with an odd mix of buildings. It has a lot of older structures. On the sidewalks are storefronts and taverns topped by a few apartments. There's a scattering of light industrial buildings from the 1800s and early 1900s. And then there's all those newer single-use buildings -- mostly fast-food restaurants and small-box stores -- set back behind lots of pavement and empty parking spaces. One land use that Clark doesn't have are large, multi-story, multi-family residential buildings. That's despite the fact the neighborhood is growing in population and is one of the city's most ethnically diverse.

February 7, 20214 yr I love hearing about these new projects popping up all over the place. I remember about five years ago when One University Circle had just started construction and there were maybe a couple residential projects ongoing in Ohio City, feeling like what was happening was so exciting. But now it's impossible to keep track of everything that's going on and nearly every neighborhood in the city has multiple active projects. Thanks for being our tour guide on this rapidly accelerating ride, @KJP.
February 7, 20214 yr Yes, it's nice to see so much happening in Cleveland. I wish it would have started sooner. Someone posted a document of all the Cleveland development projects in a thread somewhere on this site.

February 22, 20214 yr Work starts on Via Sana on West 25th near MetroHealth Construction is beginning on the first of three buildings that will comprise a $60-million mixed-use project in Cleveland’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood. The building is being developed by The NRP Group, The MetroHealth System and CCH Development Corp. -- a public-private partnership that will strengthen and revitalize the west side neighborhood by filling a need for high-quality housing. Known as Vía Sana, meaning “healthy way,” the four-story building -- located at the corner of West 25th Street and Sackett Avenue -- will feature 72 one-, two- and three-bedroom affordable rental residences. Vía Sana is expected to be completed in early 2022.

May 21, 20214 yr Cleveland Museum of Art puts down roots in Clark-Fulton with new arts center Zachary Lewis - The Land - May 18, 2021 "Indeed, the new center, the largest tenant in the new Pivot Center for Art, Dance, and Expression, is a means to several ends. It’s primarily a gallery and teaching space, but it also advances parts of the museum’s larger mission to benefit all the people forever. ... On one hand, it’s a base for Parade the Circle and other large outdoor offerings such as the Chalk Festival, Winter Lights Lantern Festival, and Studio Go. ... On the other, the Center expands the museum’s footprint on the west side, bolstering a community underserved by the museum but which already enjoys a rich cultural life.. ... Even before the center opens June 12, the work of melding with the community is well underway. All signage is in both Spanish and English, and each of its three large studios along with its lobby has been graced with a mural by a local artist."
June 3, 20214 yr ^ what the ... ? this is fantastic to see. very cool move by the art museum. this seems like it one of those spaces like they have in nola for mardi gras float making and the like.
