May 3, 20196 yr If you just kind of eyeball this WKYC webcam photo the Lumen when complete should appear to be a little taller than the Ohio Bell building from this perspective. Edited May 3, 20196 yr by freethink

Can we place a bunch of like 5-10 story buildings, maybe some townhouses on all those parking lots? That'd be great.

But 5-10 story buildings? See my police HQ story I just posted. Want more? Tell RTA to restart planning for the downtown rail loop. Hey, that's on topic! The LRT was to go down East 17th and serve the Lumen! OK, I'll stop now. ?

Those lots are good for CSU students and the once tallest residential structure in Cleveland, I believe the Reserve Square Apartments, and Embassy Suites. If I recall they're included in white pass parking, which is shitty parking to begin with, and CSU is currently undergoing a parking crisis. I dont think they're going to let go of those anytime soon. Edited May 5, 20196 yr by tastybunns
May 5, 20196 yr Three of those parking lots are going away but only one might become a public parking garage.... https://neo-trans.blogspot.com/2019/05/old-cpd-station-new-cpd-station.html?m=1 "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

Just hate seeing all the parking lots. It would be great if the WFL looped around. If rail served CSU/Playhouse Square area I feel like ridership would surely increase for the GBWFL.

May 5, 20196 yr I’m in Boston this weekend. I was wandering the Boyleston / Fenway area which has enjoyed significant investment over the last 5+ years. This is the Pierce building (mostly condos). To me it looks a lot like the Lumen. For reference, this building is 378 ft tall compared to the Lumen at 398. This building is wider - Lumen should look even taller with its slender design. This made me excited for Lumen. Also, a good eye will reveal a city Target down the block in that last picture. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

CSU is mostly a commuter college with 17,000+ students, they sell more passes than there are spots in any lot. Having actually attended CSU, for morning classes it is an absolute b***h to find parking in any lot. Even white lots were full which are on the outskirts of the campus. I kinda wish they built more garages. Sorry for going off-topic.
May 5, 20196 yr According to https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=84970636 Lumen will be taller than Ohio Bell

The facts still remains, there is no such "crises" in any part of Cleveland. Back to the Lumen. Back to the Lumen. ??
May 6, 20196 yr question for the construction people.....What is the primary purpose of the yellow cages? Is it strictly safety?
May 6, 20196 yr Those are slip forms for the concrete. http://www.slipform.us/high-rise-building-cores/ clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
May 7, 20196 yr I'm amazed at the similarities of the Pierce in Boston compared to the Lumen. Was it designed by the same architect? Here's a picture of the Pierce under construction. Even the crane and the concrete slip forms are a similar color. A little preview of what the Lumen might look like by the end of the year... Edited May 7, 20196 yr by RoabeArt

Arquitectonica is listed as the architects of The Pierce. Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) designed The Lumen in Cleveland. Similarities must be part of the current paradigm.
May 8, 20196 yr I'm certainly no expert, but I believe the yellow screens are protection screens that are used primarily for worker safety. They prevent falls (of workers and materials), and provide wind/weather protection for the trades working below the newly formed floor above. They can be hydraulic, so once initially positioned, crane time can be used elsewhere until the top-out of the building. https://www.doka.com/en/system-groups/doka-safety-systems/protection-screens/xclimb-60/index Edited May 8, 20196 yr by CLEsteve
May 8, 20196 yr "Lumen" being built in Tysons Corners - Virginia suburb of Wash DC Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
May 8, 20196 yr https://lumentysons.com/ Forgot to put a link on the above photo. Tyson's is a huge development that has been constantly under construction for about 40 years. It is in the running for the most pedestrian-unfriendly place in the region. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake

I've stayed there many times at that Ritz Carlton and would agree--unless you want to hang out in the hotel or mall, walking is a dangerous exercise in 9 lane rare crosswalks!
May 12, 20196 yr Graduated yesterday and couldn't miss the opportunity to take graduation pics in front of my favorite construction site ?
May 13, 20196 yr From today. Also looks like they are prepping forms to put the 2nd deck on the parking garage.
May 14, 20196 yr Another week, another batch of Lumen pics. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
May 17, 20196 yr P.S. I like how, on the last pic, you can really see the first angled bump-out forming on the Euclid side, at the very bottom of the yellow forms.
May 17, 20196 yr ? Nice to see this is beginning to move along quickly now. Makes me want more construction!!
May 17, 20196 yr They haven't jumped the crane yet, but looks like they've adjusted the construction cam. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

May 17, 20196 yr Hopefully they will one day they will remove that tacky over-sized chandelier in the middle of the street and just keep the arches.
May 17, 20196 yr ^ the problem with that is that the arches would be left just begging to have a chandelier hanging from them!
May 17, 20196 yr I really like the chandelier, its really cool at night and think its a nice addition to the area
May 18, 20196 yr This construction project is really coming along. Very excited about all the development happening in this area. #THISISCLE
May 20, 20196 yr I was driving down Euclid the other day and just the mere presence of this building under construction already gives the area more of an urban vibe compared to when it was a surface lot. Super excited for the finished product ? Edited May 20, 20196 yr by Stormtrek

Super excited for the finished product ? You're absolutely right. A seven story building would have made a drastic impact on the feel of the street. I'm happy we're getting a 20+'er though!!!
May 20, 20196 yr It's also amazing that the building is only 1/3 complete. It already seems a little tall.
May 20, 20196 yr Agreed, not much longer before it reaches the height of the Hanna Building ? clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
May 20, 20196 yr It also ties in that recently completed CSU student housing building (forgot the name) to downtown proper, creating a nice transitional and contiguous wall with the campus district and theater district. Great place to be a student theater actor at CSU!
