February 20, 20205 yr Here's a shot from Tuesday from the 26th floor of 1111 Superior ... amazing how different it appears without the crane. I keep doing double takes, lol.
February 20, 20205 yr Great photo PaulinCleveland! Despite what had been projected to be a building that would fade into the city's grey or sunny skies, instead it has a definitive and dramatic impact on the city's skyline.
February 20, 20205 yr It looks nice and will probably look even better on a sunny day. I wish the US Bank building on the right wasn't so dark.

Despite what had been projected to be a building that would fade into the city's grey or sunny skies, instead it has a definitive and dramatic impact on the city's skyline. I love it, I've been in carpentry classes this week out in Richfield. Heading back north to Parma on 77, you get that view of downtown as soon as you get over the hill by Independence. But you've always been able to see the far eastern half of downtown way before the rest of downtown thanks to the angle of approach, and I actually mistook the Lumen for the Erie View plaza the other day. It has a very dramatic effect on the skyline, it's height and white lines help it stick out from a distance. My favorite part about it though, is that it elongates our skyline from the southern view. It reminds me of Philadelphia after they built the first Comcast Tower (although to a lesser extent) because it made Philadelphia's skyline look more imposing. That's what the Lumen does for ours, too.
February 21, 20205 yr When you think of the most recent additions to the CBD skyline, the Hilton, the Beacon, the Lumen and soon, City Club, there's nothing ordinary about any of them. Edited February 21, 20205 yr by Frmr CLEder

February 22, 20205 yr National City Bank (PNC) was always a standout. As I recall, it was, dare I say it, the first modern white building built in the CBD . It's unfortunate that it resulted in the demolition of the somewhat futuristic looking Bonds Department Store building, but it's been a welcome, albeit dramatic departure from the typical brown, beige and gray.

Aesthetically, they break up the expanses of monotonous glass and as ASPhotoman suggested, they provide a visual element to draw the eye upward. Also, there have been other reasons for pushback on all-glass facades. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 22, 20205 yr I also just noticed that the glass on the east and north sides only is articulated to produce different planes. Verticle stripes on those sides would not align with the articulation. Edited February 22, 20205 yr by Frmr CLEder

Fair point, although that $3.80 a sq ft at the Beacon is only for those few terrace-level units with wraparound balconies. The rest of the building is more in the $2.80-$3.00 range. I really hope the Lumen does well and I’m sure it will, but it will be without us. We were looking for a 3br for our next move this summer, but those prices for that sq footage is totally out of the question. For similar, or less money at the Scofield or 9 you can get way more space and probably better finishes. Edited February 28, 20205 yr by roman totale XVII My hovercraft is full of eels

February 28, 20205 yr While pricey, for what it is, you would have to assume pricing would be top of market.

It’s a good sign for Cleveland, and a demonstration of what a lot of UO members have been telling us that the wealthy are returning to the city. Is the Beacon renting well? I’m asking because if the prices are similar it could give an idea of how these may do. Last time I saw on here someone said it was 50% leased.
February 29, 20205 yr ^I last heard the Beacon was 85% leased. After only a few months, which is impressive. So based on that, I wouldn’t hesitate to say that Lumen will follow suit. The demand is there, and clearly there are plenty of people out there willing to pay the high price point and snatch up these types of downtown units.
February 29, 20205 yr I know the rental and condo markets aren’t one and the same, but if you look at the rent-to-value ratio of Lumen vs some of the nearby condos popping up.... I think rents like this bode extremely well for the condo market. Compared to 12th and Ave and the Knez townhomes, the RTV ratio is like 1.2-1.5% for the 3 br units.

March 1, 20205 yr Nice article Ken, it took me a moment to realize that was my photo ? ...I’m sure it’s come up on this thread before but I don’t think it ever sunk in to me that this is the tallest residential building in Ohio. Cool fact!
