The days of the industrial valley soot and smoke turning all of the downtown buildings black are over. Just the fact another apartment tower is rising is amazing. With more to come?
September 4, 20195 yr Crane jump proceeding today. Some views from the ground and 26th floor of 1111 Superior.

September 5, 20195 yr For non construction crane aficionados, is the bottom of the crane is where the roof tops out at?

September 5, 20195 yr Great pic @MayDay ... much better view than what was happening INSIDE the park. ?

September 5, 20195 yr 12 minutes ago, Frmr CLEder said: Maybe they plan to have uplighting at night? Would dig that, not sure if it would affect the tenants though
September 5, 20195 yr I just can't understand why they would only have the east-facing side with the verticle strips unless, it being at the gateway to Playhouse Square and consistent with its name, they intend to incorporate a nightime light feature.
September 5, 20195 yr I know a million people keep posting pictures of this, but I walked by today and couldn't help myself. It looks too good.

September 6, 20195 yr Passing by the Lumen last night I noticed the first couple floors have rooms framed out with drywall.

September 6, 20195 yr 2 hours ago, KJP said: 98 years... THAT is awesome! Safety standards have obviously changed a bit. The lower floors of the Keith building look blackened -- is that just from the facade not yet having been applied or was there a fire early on?

Similar to what is being done with the May Co., nightime uplighting on those white vertical panels would look amazing! Edited September 7, 20195 yr by Frmr CLEder

I'm no longer a Cleveland resident but was born/raised there and as my birthplace, I wish the best for my hometown and it's residents. That being said, I currently live in Miami and it is far from being tacky. I only hope that Cleveland can develop as impressive a skyline with dozens of cranes in the air.

September 8, 20195 yr If Cleveland gets an influx of illegal, or foreign and/or dirty money it too can have a skyline like Miami.

If you will agree to that then I say go for it. Build all you want. Let the buyer beware. Matter of fact we should run an ad inviting known criminals to live and operate out of Miami. (oh I forgot that is Miami today.)

We've had Ukrainian oligarchs (from Florida) here and we're also now getting some Israeli and Russian investors snooping around as well. Whaddya say we get back to Lumen....

September 9, 20195 yr Lumen sighting from atop the Beacon: Edited September 9, 20195 yr by MuRrAy HiLL
September 9, 20195 yr WOW. What a cool view that is going to be... jealous! That perspective makes the 9 (AT) Tower look huge.
September 9, 20195 yr Thanks for the video, Murray Hill - the Lumen really extends the downtown cityscape along Euclid. Can’t wait to see it top out!
September 9, 20195 yr Here’s one from Saturday. The Keith (and the Hanna) just look great in those reflections. The only thing that would look better would be the reflection of a new Blue Line train running down a no-through-traffic East17th section of a completed Waterfront Loop. Dreamers can dream.

September 10, 20195 yr 3 minutes ago, TwoStickney419 said: Is this currently the tallest building under construction in ohio? Yes, I believe it is. Not to get too off-topic, but here's a comparison chart I made recently that is fairly accurate (could be missing some) and provides some insights about skyscraper development. Looking at this chart, it's surprising (although becoming less and less surprising) how seemingly far ahead development-wise Cleveland is out of the 3 Cs in Ohio. Sure NuCLEus is stalled (hopefully not for good), but from what a few posters on this forum have been hinting at, there could be even more announcements on the horizon, hence the Unknown towers listed below. It feels to me like we are far ahead of the game in Ohio. And The Lumen and Beacon projects is a great example of our momentum. SHW would be the greatest icing on the cake. Important note: Unless I missed something crucial, Cincinnati has no current developments/proposals whatsoever reaching 300 ft or higher. A little unfortunate.
September 10, 20195 yr no, this will be the 31 "floor" they pour, but havent started yet. Concrete pump is still on the parking garage portion this morning
