April 2, 20178 yr I hope this is a huge success so they start the second phase right after. There is little over a half acre northwest of the tower slated for some other development.
April 11, 20178 yr I told my wife this is where I'd like to move when the kids are out of the house. She didn't say no!

June 14, 20177 yr Some images of One University Circle, from some new angles. (Taken Saturday, 10 Jun 2017.) Â View from southern end of Wade Lagoon. (10June2017) Â View from Strearns Rd. (10June2017) Â View from Deering Ave., looking West. (10Jun2017) Â Ground floor facade and parking levels detail. (10Jun2017) Â One University Circle and John Hay School across Deering Ave. from each other. Â View from North corner of project site, on Euclid Ave. Â View from the West, with PNC Bank drivethrough in foreground. Â Detail of western aspect.
June 15, 20177 yr ^Even crazier is that they could likely be even thinner in many cases if it weren't for the fact that you need a certain amount of concrete around your rebar for fireproofing reasons. I remember doing the math once in one of my structures classes and found that the slab for a parking deck meeting the requirements of that example was only 3.5" thick but would need to be around 6" to meet fireproofing standards where it was located. Kind of insane. Â Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing! Super happy to see some more highrises going up in Cleveland. Hopefully this does extremely well and sets an example for other developers.

June 15, 20177 yr Does anyone else feel the placement of this project is a little strange? I am all for the new construction but... Â I like the placement. I love the way it looks from wade lagoon (between fenway and crawford halls), it packs in a lot of residents on that side of MLK, and it will fit in well with the potential future UC3 buildings between Stokes/Chester on the other side of Euclid. Keep in mind that there's also the potential for a phase 2 development on the empty land north of the pnc bank.Â
June 15, 20177 yr Man if a family with a high school age child or an 8th grader moves in. They have the most convenient walk to school.
June 16, 20177 yr Where are people going to eat? Where are the restaurants that are within walking distance? Where is the grocery store? Where are all the shops and stores these people are going to shop at?
June 17, 20177 yr I went and studied in the atrium at the art museum today; on my break I walked around outside. Safe to say I am absolutely smitten with what Uptown has become, and this tower is really pulling it together. I couldn't help but feel like I was walking around Washington DC. I mean, I walked maybe 1-1.5 miles and during that time I passed world class museums, the home of a world class orchestra, a prestigious university, and a residential tower with the proverbial "crane in the sky." The area was SOOOO full of life. Students, doctors, families, locals, all enjoying it. I'm now more convinced than ever that this is just the start of residential development Uptown.
June 17, 20177 yr Where are people going to eat? Where are the restaurants that are within walking distance? Where is the grocery store? Where are all the shops and stores these people are going to shop at?  Uptown is .4 miles away. Little Italy, slightly further. Anyone with a bike or two legs that are healthy are in a great situation. map attached  Â
June 17, 20177 yr Where are people going to eat? Where are the restaurants that are within walking distance? Where is the grocery store? Where are all the shops and stores these people are going to shop at?  Are you serious? I could walk to the first Uptown restaurants in 7-8 minutes. Constantinos for groceries in 10 minutes. Plus, I imagine first floor retail will be a part of the UC3 development which will be across the street.
June 17, 20177 yr if they cannot walk two or three blocks, jump on the BRT... Â Or walk in the other direction to the Red Line. And the free UC shuttle buses are everywhere.

August 6, 20177 yr From a few days ago on Stokes Boulevard (FYI, there also a nice vista looking west on Euclid from Uptown -- Euclid points right at the new tower).... Â "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
August 7, 20177 yr From a few days ago on Stokes Boulevard (FYI, there also a nice vista looking west on Euclid from Uptown -- Euclid points right at the new tower)....    Looks awesome! I like seeing the Healthline stop at the bottom of the picture. That building will have some great views - and are those some balconies from which to see them?
August 7, 20177 yr Yes, those are balconies. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

August 7, 20177 yr I was going to make a similar comment. That's my plan too.  Out of curiosity, what factors are motivating your decision? For me, I would like to be able to walk to all the museums and Severance. Plus, when I go to the airport, I can just take the Red Line. Not to mention taking the Health Line to baseball games. It really is ideally situated. It will allow my wife and I to ditch one of our cars.
August 7, 20177 yr Let me preface my statement by saying that I won't be ready for retirement for about 20 years. But my wife and I both enjoy the museums and the orchestra. Ideally as I get older, I'd prefer to live in a place where a car is not needed. Also, I have no intention to own a home when I get older so as not to burden children with selling real estate and have no maintenance and one floor living.

August 7, 20177 yr ^It's going to be quite majestic and stand out prominently at its location. It will be another iconic building for University Circle, which of course is loaded with them, but none quite so tall and domineering.
August 7, 20177 yr I wonder how the plans for Two University Circle are coming. :-) Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
August 8, 20177 yr I'm not going to recognize my home town next time I visit. :)Â Hopefully, the momentum will continue. Â

September 4, 20177 yr A couple I took this week. The first one is looking down Euclid Avenue from Uptown at East 115th... Â Â Â As seen from a Red Line train at the Cedar-University station....

September 5, 20177 yr It's also got a great presence among the trees as you head south to Euclid Ave on MLK
September 5, 20177 yr Nice pic- the building definitely has a presence. Now if there was enough demand for maybe two or three more... ;-)
September 5, 20177 yr Very impressive building... I viewed the same angle yesterday as KJP's camera angle along Euclid from Uptown... One U. Circle, along with the Seidman Cancer Center tower makes this stretch of Euclid even more majestic and, yes, more urban.Â
September 5, 20177 yr Nice pic- the building definitely has a presence. Now if there was enough demand for maybe two or three more... ;-)  If it fills up fast and rents are stable or rising, then yes, there is a market for more.

September 22, 20177 yr ^ Does this really count as Uptown though? I assumed it ended at the corner where I believe the Starbucks sits by the the UH cancer center.
