February 9, 20196 yr Well, I would put Market Plaza as the next project since it's pretty much a ''go''. Of course City Club Apartments could announce a building on the Hippodrome site and break ground this summer for example ? before Market Plaza starts.
February 10, 20196 yr ^ Don't get too excited by enthusiastic developers. Projects on empty lots have taken longer to start. In this case you have a fully occupied plaza with leases that need to be broken before demolition can start. And a construction method that's never been tried here. The odds are not in their favor for a fast start, IMO. Edited February 10, 20196 yr by Mendo

Buyout the leases. Not a case of local developers like Stark it seems. Anyway, I forget I'm back in Cleveland where vacant lots sit empty in prime locations for x# decades and the mayor appointments an ex-con wife beater turned murderer to a city job at the direction of the local sitting U.S. House Rep and no one cares. Pretty much sums up CLE City Hall mentality; some things never change lol. Let's hope 925 Euclid can get moving maybe. Edited February 10, 20196 yr by Oxford19

It isn't always a city problem, and I'm as critical of city leadership as they come.

Of course financing is often the most obvious obstacle but a city's local City Hall mentality is the core of how any city operates, including development obviously. Still optimistic due to the out of town investor group, its history, and the fact that this project (Market Square) isn't downtown. Look at the residential development on Detroit Avenue in the "hip'' named Hingetown. W25/Lorain is at the core of Ohio City.
February 10, 20196 yr And there could be developments that we haven’t even heard of that could break ground even sooner ?
February 11, 20196 yr Looking ahead a few years.... SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2019 Ten million square feet of downtown Cleveland construction What if I told you that Downtown Cleveland could soon have more than six million square feet of buildings under construction at the same time? What if I told you downtown already has four million square feet of construction underway or about to begin? Yes, 10 million square feet total.

February 11, 20196 yr For the love of god why does the topic of a new Justice Center keep arising as it does in the article linked above? How do we as taxpayers stand to benefit? The justice center serves a simple and utilitarian purpose and does not produce any return on investment.

March 21, 20196 yr So I kinda stole some of this from way up thread (Thanks @Mendo) Can someone make a better version of this list please? Started Projects: Halle Building Cleveland Athletic Club Beacon Lumen Terminal Tower May Company Building 75 Public Square The Q Transformation MetroHealth Medical Center John Hartness Brown Buildings / Euclid Grand Ohio City Church+State Mayfield Lofts (Little Italy) La Collina Apartments (Little Italy) One Lakewood Place (demolition started) Announced but not Started: nuCLEus Market Square (Ohio City) Franklin Circle The Fidelity/Baker building Hotel Transformation (1940 E. 6th) Ohio Bell Tower Hotel Cushman & Wakefield, Scheer Stones Levee development (demolition started) University Circle City Center / Circle Square? Flats East Bank Phase 3 Union Trust Building (925) Scranton Peninsula Firebird Scranton Peninsula Great Lakes Brewing Post Office Plaza refresh Lakefront Harbor Bridge 5500 North Marginal and 5700 South Marginal Roads (Howard Johnson site) Mystery? The Outlet Shoppes at Cleveland (that lakefront mall idea) Settlers Point Tower Warehouse District Dream Hotel The Shoreline Apartments / Quay 55 phase 2 Justice Center Complex City Club Apartment building (Hippodrome site) Cleveland Police HQ Brickhaus Tower (Lorain Ave.) 55 Public Square Weston/Citymark Medical Mutual Sherwin-Williams Jacobs Group West Bank of the Flats
March 21, 20196 yr I'd remove Medical Mutual from the list. Same with Weston/Citymark's Superblock, although that may be divided among the Justice Center courthouse tower and part of Sherwin Williams. Also, things have gone quiet regarding the Dream Hotel and Settlers Point Tower. Might add a "Columbus Bend" (or whatever they might call it) housing development in there, however. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
March 21, 20196 yr You Missed the Cumberland/Pace Lakefront Development. This is ongoing but in small increments. This should be possibly in the started section. Also, Ths Gus Frangos site on E.14 st could be pit in the mystery section.
March 21, 20196 yr Halle might be considered complete at this point (honestly not sure what the criteria for complete is).
March 21, 20196 yr Question: Which buildings are coming online in 2019? When? and How many units will the market have to absorb in 2019? I believe it is Halle, Cleveland Athletic Club and 515 Beacon. is any other project due to be completed in 2019?

They are progressing quickly, but 2019 seems too quick to be finished w/ it. Also there are the Terminal Tower Residences that they have been working on for a while.

April 26, 20196 yr It seems that at this point Market Square could be next project underway. Nucleus, believe it or not, might actually also be under construction in this calendar year. I for one won't believe it till I see it.
April 30, 20196 yr TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2019 Cleveland is rising up in the O-Zone Last week I sat in a small conference room with nearly a dozen real estate developers and investors planning a cool new project in Cleveland's urban core. I was there to add my two cents on a transportation access component of that project. Seated in the corner of the room was another guy, representing a lending institution that provides equity from one of the many fast-growing Opportunity Zone Funds. The developers began to discuss how tall the apartment building component of their project should be. They agreed to add that question to their yet-to-be-undertaken feasibility study. The guy from the O-Zone Fund lender said in so many words "Whatever you come up with, let me know. There's going to be more than enough funding for your O-Zone piece of the capital stack."

June 17, 20195 yr Here is a list of all the new developments announced in the last 12 months. Keeping the list to projects officially announced and gone to city design review at least once, so it doesn't include the Carnegie W.25th RTA project and the Detroit/Wheat Court midrise KJP scooped a few weeks ago, and a couple historic renovations. I know Dexter Place and Tappen are under construction. Any of the others from last year? 2018 Dexter Place (Franklin and W.28th, Ohio City) Tappen (Scranton and Barber Rd, Tremont) Edison phase 2 (W.58th and Breakwater, Detroit Shoreway) Uptown 3 Student Housing (Euclid and E.115th, University Circle/Uptown) Cle. Institute of Music Student Housing (Hazel and Magnolia Dr, University Circle) Market Square (W.25th and Lorain, Ohio City) 2019 Shoreway/South Marginal (E.55th and S. Marginal Rd, Goodrich-Kirtland Park) Snavely phase 3 (Detroit and W.28th, Ohio City) Shoreline phase 2 (N.Marginal and E.55th, Goodrich-Kirtland Park) Electric Gardens (Literary Rd and W.4th, Tremont) Hough-Ansel Residences (Hough and Ansel Rd, Hough) Washington Inn Housing (Mayfield Hill and Cornell Rd, Little Italy) Library Loft (Euclid Ave and Stokes Blvd, University Circle) Edited June 18, 20195 yr by Mendo
June 17, 20195 yr Author Library Lofts (on Euclid between E105 and E107) has been to design review at least once in 2019 (I believe it has to go back for final) unless you don't count it as a mid-rise (I think it is 8-9 stories on top of 2 floors of the new library.

You caught me before the edit. I forgot about that one. I removed the qualifier low or mid-rise. This is pretty much every new project announced in the last year. Edited June 17, 20195 yr by Mendo
June 17, 20195 yr Metrohealth main bed tower and their Urban Community health center on Lorain are both going.
June 17, 20195 yr FYI... 4005 Detroit is being redesigned to fit the height district of that area. And look for that same developer to pursue more projects on the near-west side.

June 17, 20195 yr Author Is the Washington Inn Housing still a viable project? The negative planning commission vote was pretty decisive. I really cannot see what they can do to make it smaller to satisfy the Little Italy NIMBYs and still make economic sense. They had already scaled it back significantly.

True. The list was meant to draw attention away from the flashy projects like nuCLEus amd Market Square to show how most of the great stuff happening was neighborhood level stuff. I can add it -- it fits the criteria otherwise. Though I think it's farther off than most.
