May 8, 20169 yr How are the apartments coming along? When are they supposed to be completed? How many apartment units in this project.
June 2, 20169 yr Looking great! Not quite "Schofield-scale" :) but a really fantastic looking reproduction of the original facade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 2, 20169 yr Looking great! Not quite "Schofield-scale" :) but a really fantastic looking reproduction of the original previous facade. Here's the original: :-)
June 2, 20169 yr So it was revised into a simpler pattern and then mucked over with a more modern facade?
June 2, 20169 yr ^Yep. We understandably focus our disdain on the icky post war modernizations, but there were several facade changes in Cleveland in the early 20th century, too. You'll notice in that same pic the original ground floor facade of the building next to the Garfield, before the columns were put in. Both buildings were "bankified" to add gravitas to the big bank tenants. In contrast, the City Club building was de-bankified, with an original greek temple facade replaced by the current storefront (which has itself since been modernized to some extent). [typos]
June 2, 20169 yr Looking great! Not quite "Schofield-scale" :) but a really fantastic looking reproduction of the original facade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This project is really looking good. It's time to develop E 6th/Short Vincent again with retail, bars, restaurants etc. The Theatrical still stands and the old Roxy space would make great anchors for this ''T'' block area. Hard Rock Café relocation would make a great anchor on Short Vincent and bring nice foot traffic. I would convert the first floor parking garage that mars the E 6th/Short Vincent northeast corner into retail, restaurant, bars etc and add an additional floor on this monstrosity. A nice streetscape redo for these two densely located streets is in order as well.
June 10, 20169 yr Windows were installed sometime in the past week on the first floor and look great! Any word on what is going in this space in lieu of Jeff Ruby's?
June 10, 20169 yr Downtown/Flats Case # DF 2016-052 Address: 623 Euclid Avenue Company: Millennia Housing Management Architect: Erbacj Waddell Architects Description: Signage for the Marble Room Restaurant http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/brd/detailDR.php?ID=2186&CASE=DF%202016-052
June 10, 20169 yr ^Sounds like a new hipster gaming parlor. [And yes, I know that's not the kind of marble it's really referring to.]
June 10, 20169 yr This is an interesting thread. http://www.youbemom.com/forum/permalink/8407823/can-i-run-a-restaurant-name-by-you Somebody knew about Ruby's being a no-go in February. do you like it better if I tell you more details? Prime steak, raw bar, historic old bank building with huge marble pillars and marble walls? 2-25-2016 3:28pm I see the building has a name, I think it's a good idea to incorporate that into the name. Garfield's is good. 2-25-2016 3:36pm And, no, I don't read youbemom.com, I'm just a good Googler! :P
June 10, 20169 yr It sounds like he's a pretty audacious guy. I can see someone talking him out of that location. What is better than renovating an old building for a chef? Being allowed to have a hand in the design of space in a new audacious building.
June 13, 20169 yr Windows were installed sometime in the past week on the first floor and look great! Any word on what is going in this space in lieu of Jeff Ruby's? From yesterday
June 13, 20169 yr That building cleaned up nicely. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 13, 20169 yr A little search found "The Marble Room" name registered by "Steak Holders, LLC" back in March. Frank Sinito, of Millennia, the Garfield Building owner, is listed on the application... He owns Lockkeepers... and back in 2014 (Crea/PD article) announced he would open two downtown restaurants including a "luxurious" one. I guess this might be it... by default.
June 13, 20169 yr Will this building only have one retail space? What about the E 6th side of the building?
July 14, 20168 yr They are adding temporary banners in the windows on the front side of the building. Also, note the name of the building listed on the sign
July 14, 20168 yr Wait, did they actually drop the "Corning Place" name for Garfield? If so, that's great! The Garfield name actually has significance.
July 14, 20168 yr ^ That's what it looks like! The sign reads "The Garfield" with "www.thegarfield.com" written below it, if anyone is having trouble reading it.
July 14, 20168 yr Nice. Those floor plans are unlike.anything in town. The amenities are straight out of NYC. Free beer and coffee... wut the fug...
July 14, 20168 yr Love the multi-floor units. Also nice to see some more affordable units being advertised for $800/mt. Great at a time when downtown is getting more and more pricey.
July 15, 20168 yr I would never guess that this building would have such amazing views! Wow! http://www.thegarfield.com/
July 15, 20168 yr ^ Look a little closer. None of those photos are Cleveland. A little misleading IMO. Damn this small laptop.....lol
July 15, 20168 yr ^ Yikes some real estate agent would see you coming a mile away, "And you say it's right on the water" Yes sir you are near the water... Anyway no mention of the restaurant he was rumoured to be working on. Think it was The Marble Steak House or something like that. It does mention a pizza place called Midici Pizza www.mymidici.com which if it is the same one is a chain out of CA looking to expand quickly.
July 15, 20168 yr Love the multi-floor units. Also nice to see some more affordable units being advertised for $800/mt. Great at a time when downtown is getting more and more pricey. Well nevermind. Someone has updated it to say the one bedrooms are $1100-1900 now. So much for that lol
July 15, 20168 yr I was gonna say... Pretty sure the time for those kind of rents on a new project have come and gone. Unfortunately for me [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
October 21, 20168 yr Wow, this place is gorgeous! http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2016/10/20/first-look-marble-room-steak-and-raw-bar#
October 21, 20168 yr ^^Im confused. The former National City lobby is not in the Garfield Building, its in the New England Building under the Holiday Inn Express. There is a connector through Garfield, so perhaps Millennia has master leased the space.

There is a connector through Garfield, so perhaps Millennia has master leased the space. Maybe this is what you mean, but the picture in the article definitely isn't the current Holiday Inn lobby. Judging by the description, it sounds like the space is accessible off of East 6th? Here is an old photo of the lobby
October 22, 20168 yr When are the apartments coming on board? And it's supposed to be early February. They will be having a hard hat tour soon :-D
November 5, 20168 yr ~ 1month ago theparapet of which partly collapsed months ago has been totaly rebuilt and now is close to finished , if not done
November 5, 20168 yr The leasing office is supposed to open on the 15th. I have a hard time believing it ha but that's what I've been told.
November 22, 20168 yr Accent lighting added to Garfield. And it's not the standard blue and red, so that's nice.

Here is an old photo of the lobby No, it isn't the Holiday Inn lobby, but it is parallel to the Holiday Inn lobby inside the same building--New England Building. There is not a full size bank lobby in the Garfield Building, although there is a highly-detailed pass-thru over to East 6th and a very nice space at the back of the building that might have been occupied by Cowell and Hubbard.
December 2, 20168 yr Something we learned a while back but here is the story from Freshwater. http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/devnews/HarnessCycle113016.aspx?platform=hootsuite
January 26, 20178 yr As I was driving by the Garfield today I was surprised to see this decorative entryway going in!
March 7, 20178 yr Marble Room & Raw Bar to open in May. http://www.cleveland19.com/story/34686811/new-cleveland-restaurant-opening-in-may-in-garfield-building-marble-room-and-raw-bar
March 7, 20178 yr As I was driving by the Garfield today I was surprised to see this decorative entryway going in! They really did this rehab right--above and beyond.
May 22, 20178 yr I saw the Brilliant Electric truck parked there on Friday but well before they installed the sign; thanks for posting! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
