July 31, 20231 yr The club, Metropolis was in this building, wasn’t it? Or is the whole block coming down?
July 31, 20231 yr ^ That’s a big old block coming down right there. I hope someone has some good plans for it. Parking makes no sense whatsoever, seeing as it’s literally adjacent to an existing overgrown and unused parking lot. My hovercraft is full of eels
July 31, 20231 yr Seems it is 3 buildings: https://planning.clevelandohio.gov/designreview/brd/listDR.php?D=DF
July 31, 20231 yr They better have something great planned then because that would be a bummer to just have another empty lot there. I would imagine they have something planned right? Because why spend the demo money if not? Or is that too wishful thinking lol Edited July 31, 20231 yr by dwolfi01
July 31, 20231 yr Metropolis is / was on Spruce Ave, so not sure it's going to be taken down. I have always held out hope that it'd be reopened as a club at some point. Not looking good now though!!

Those parking craters are as large as what was previously in the Warehouse District prior to SHW development.
July 31, 20231 yr We're obsessed with tearing everything down in this city. But hey, cheap parking! Woo.
July 31, 20231 yr I would hate to see those come down, but they are part of the Nautica Waterfront project area: Nautica Waterfront District and they propose a midrise on that block This is what is currently on their website.

I wish I had a website with pretty pictures on it.

Our wonderful tax structure that rewards disinvestment and demolition, and punishes maintaining and proper upkeep.

I’ve heard that there is something being developed here in the near future but can’t get too specific. Residential probably won’t be the focus, based on what I’ve heard. Should be an official announcement in the next 2 months.
July 31, 20231 yr The city really approved this? Unbelievable. On second thought, it's Cleveland, it's very believable. That building would have been a great residential conversion. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk
July 31, 20231 yr Definitely maybe someday someone will build something. We just need to wait a little bit longer.

Yes that is correct. This thread started in May 2016 with a Crain's Article. But i could have sworn that it was even longer than that. Either way - I do remember reading somewhere way back that MOST Likely nothing would happen until somewhere around 2023. At that time it seemed like a pipe dream but guess what it is 2023.

That project would’ve cost 50% less in 2016 lol

They were pretty pictures shared by the owner as part of his property sale offering.
