July 31, 20195 yr The CSU building across the street with its worthless lawn is an annoyance, but great shot for sure.
July 31, 20195 yr That's the Business building. You'd be surprised at how much green space CSU doesn't have. I agree they could do something more with it. I'm all for a little bit of assisted forestry. "Forest City" anyone?

For such a great urban affairs program, they have a very un-urban building.
July 31, 20195 yr I'm a graduate of that school, and the College of Urban Affairs building angers/confounds me every time I see it. Ugh on the black mirrored glass windows and weird setback. - "The shoemaker's children are going barefoot" Edited July 31, 20195 yr by ExPatClevGuy

August 3, 20195 yr Looks like about 10 more stories to go. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
August 3, 20195 yr On 8/1/2019 at 4:58 PM, Terdolph said: Let me put it another way: When you have a building with a gorgeous facade like the Keith bldg. it is OK to have a building in front with a lower parapet height and a sidewalk set back to show it off. Lot's of cities with historically significant buildings do that-Toronto is an example. There, is that easier for you to understand or do I need to post examples? The new CSU building next to Trinity Cathedral is a good example of a setback that exposes the cathedral that was previously obscured.

Sorry, I don’t believe I understand the argument here, have I captured this right? Side 1: The lumen blocks the view of the Keith building from the south and it’s not as pretty as the Keith—therefore it shouldn’t block the Keith. Side 2: It’s an urban center—buildings block each other, that’s the nature of the beast. Side 1 follow-on: a classy building should be showcased, that’s why CSU’s lawns are okay. Side 2 follow-on: it’s an urban center—buildings block each other, that’s the nature of the beast (inferred argument: lawns are never acceptable downtown).

The PNC setback serves no purpose as far as a can tell.
August 5, 20195 yr Flew into town because my father had surgery last week and took these while I was there. These where taken at Metrohealth on W. 25. Lumen is on the right side of the skyline.
August 6, 20195 yr ^Thanks for sharing---hope your dad's surgery went well. The last photo looks like a monster appeared and is about to eat Cleveland!
August 6, 20195 yr 5 minutes ago, simplythis said: So how many more floors do we have to go before we are done? 9 more to go
August 6, 20195 yr there are 24 stories completed, pouring the 25th "floor" today. so 10 more stories to go
August 6, 20195 yr So we should be topped off somewhere at the end of October or beginning of November.
August 6, 20195 yr I check UrbanOhio everyday for news on development and progress on projects. Today I finally decided to sign up and add a post. Photo taken from the 13th floor of the Federal Courthouse. That is currently under renovation
August 6, 20195 yr Anyone have an idea of the retail they are targeting for that portion of the project?
August 7, 20195 yr @Neal435CLE welcome and thanks for the recent pics -- its cool to see from that angle.

It will likely be a gift shop or something similar. PHS did not want to give up parking spaces for the retail. The only reason there is any retail at all is because of push back from the city and the county.
August 7, 20195 yr Took this while walking to the Indians game last night. Pictures don't give this project justice. It looks SO COOL in person. It's going to be much wider (looking at it from the East) than I thought. I'm already jealous of the people who will call this place home.
August 7, 20195 yr 20 minutes ago, YABO713 said: ^And still 7(?) more floors to go! Close. 25/34 complete so we got 9 left!
August 7, 20195 yr If I'm seeing this correctly, they might need to do a third small crane jump to finish the last 1 or 2 floors... I'm measuring the height of the floors and it doesn't seem like 9 floors will be able to fit under the crane. Edited August 7, 20195 yr by CLE_Millennial
August 7, 20195 yr While not super close-up, these shots taken from Tri-C Metro show how this structure is really densifying and bulking up the east end of downtown. These next 9 floors will really make it pop and send it to the next level for our skyline! Edited August 7, 20195 yr by urbanetics_
August 7, 20195 yr Pic from this morning, 26th floor of 1111 Superior. We're finally seeing some glass from up here! And I played around with Photoshop a bit to imagine the view in another couple of months.

August 8, 20195 yr 21 hours ago, CLE_Millennial said: Close. 25/34 complete so we got 9 left! This is interesting. The Keith Building has 21 floors. The Lumen is currently at the same height as the roof of the Keith (The Keith's "22nd floor"?) but has 25 floors? Is that correct?
