Hopefully some good information comes out while you are there if you do go. I too was hoping that the next building built would have had retail (not like the Circle North Building, the implementation of that has been awful)

December 16, 20213 yr I'm wondering if this building on East Blvd is getting rehabbed or not. Hopefully it is I love the size of it and it's a building you can't replace. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk
December 16, 20213 yr Author That looks like the Switzer Apartments. If so, here's what I wrote about it in September 2020..... Through an affiliate, Collinwood resident Abigail Searles recently acquired the 98-year-old Switzer Apartments, 1285 E. 101st St., that overlook the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. She submitted plans to the city this month to renovate the condemned three-story, 15,201-square-foot building with 12 apartments. The $1,043,097 project won $100,000 in tax credits from the Ohio Development Services Agency last month. https://neo-trans.blog/2020/09/13/glenville-massive-rebuilding-reaches-nearly-every-block/ "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

Too suburban for me.
March 17, 20223 yr I'm for it- the diagram in the article showed the existing building was to be repurposed, so at least the gem stays.

April 6, 20223 yr Work is going pretty fast on the townhome’s off of Ashbury Ave. If these sell fast too I wouldn’t be surprised to see another set of townhome’s to go up either by Knez or someone else because there is clearly a market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

April 19, 20223 yr Glenville area north of Wade Park is BOOMING… So many students walking around. New construction and SOLD signs everywhere. Besides Knez, I’m seeing a lot of signs in open plots for “SoLo” (last picture). I keep having a reoccurring dream of getting drinks and appetizers in the old Hough Bakery building. Until then, Cleveland Cold Brew Coffee and Cafe on E. 105th it is… Edited April 19, 20223 yr by MuRrAy HiLL
April 20, 20223 yr Cannot say enough about the GlenVillage development — it really has helped connect Glenville and University Circle in a very visible way. While there, I noticed a diverse mix of people. Sent out this shout-out tweet today. Highly recommend giving the coffee shop visit and support on E. 105 and Lee Ave:

Personally a fan of the brick townhomes, but I'm just a sucker for historical motifs. The vinyl ones on the other ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Regardless, this is some awesome density coming to the area. Plus whatever they'll be doing to repurpose the Hough Bakery building. Plus all the other houses Knez is building by here. Driving through this area is just a barrage of for sale and coming soon signs. Anyone know when these townhomes are supposed to be going up? These are across the street from the Hough Bakery Building.

June 1, 20223 yr Growth in Glenville: Strong near University Circle, but lagging to the north CHRISTINA EASTER AND LEE CHILCOTEJUNE 1, 2022 During the last few years, new businesses, housing, and arts organizations have opened along E. 105th St. in Glenville, bringing new life to the area. But most of this new development has been concentrated between Wade Park and Ashbury in the area near University Circle, and while the development is impressive, further north along E. 105th St. new development has been slow. https://www.thelandcle.org/stories/growth-in-glenville-strong-near-university-circle-but-lagging-to-the-north
June 2, 20223 yr I tell you what everyone, properties in Glenville new and old are selling...and at really impressive price points. (Zillow filtered on "recently sold" above $200K)

(Zillow filtered on "recently sold" above $200K) True, and to the point about the article above, it's like duh! There's so many properties available to rehab/build on in Southern Glenville that the organic growth had not moved on to northern Glenville yet. Not to mention southern Glenville is where all the amenities/jobs/activity are right now, so makes sense that's where development is happening. Either way its great to see this area begining/continuing to blossom.
June 29, 20222 yr This could be interesting. Most of the parcels on this block are owned by Famicos Foundation and the city landbank. Went before the northeast design review on June 21, now the city planning commission this Friday. https://planning.clevelandohio.gov/designreview/drcagenda/2022/PDF/CPC-Agenda-WebEx-meeting-070122.pdf 1. NE 2021-011 – Gold Coast Lofts Mixed-Use New Construction: Seeking Conceptual Approval Project Location: 10502 Superior Avenue – 1329 East 105th Street Project Representatives: Greg Soltis, RDL Architects; Alex Hosack, RDL Architects Edited June 29, 20222 yr by Mendo
June 29, 20222 yr Author I've got the plans and will have an article. It's got a good street presence with a ground floor retail space at the corner of Superior and East 105th. And part of it has an urban rowhouse look to it. At four stories, it's got good density. But I think the materials may end up looking cheap, which is probably what we would expect for an affordable housing development. Plus the large parking lot kills some of the density. The building ends up feeling a little like the fake town of Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles. Famicos also wants to build the Garrett Square senior housing development at Superior and East 125th. It's your basic 4-story cookie-cutter apartment building. But it's needed density.

June 29, 20222 yr Author Glenville regaining Superior density By Ken Prendergast / June 29, 2022 Community development corporation Famicos Foundation proposes to build two buildings comprised mostly of apartments at two locations along Superior Avenue in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood. The two projects would develop underutilized properties along a once-vibrant street now lined with vacant land and abandoned buildings, to provide quality workforce and senior housing and help draw University Circle’s energy a little farther north.

June 30, 20222 yr It needs a barbed wire fence and watch towers. My first thought looking at it was: prison.
June 30, 20222 yr Author Yeah, those are some very small windows! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 30, 20222 yr and that corner "turret" in the first pic looks like a guard tower surrounded by barbed wire...
June 30, 20222 yr 1 hour ago, KJP said: Yeah, those are some very small windows! They’re small for a new build, but I bet they’re as large as or bigger than typical 1920s apartment building windows. It’s probably a cost-saving measure and I’m all for it if that’s what allows this project to be built. It just makes me so hopeful that a project like this is even considered at 105 and Superior. This is just down the road from some of the most blighted areas of the entire city.
June 30, 20222 yr How do you draw something up like this, stand back, and nod in approval? It’s so bad.
June 30, 20222 yr THe same people that designed this atrocious piece of crap on Euclid... https://rdlarchitects.com/portfolio/euclid3/
June 30, 20222 yr The small setback on 105th street is something I don't like, especially when you have a building right next to that is built to the sidewalk. Also is that corner portion on 105th the retail space? If not where is it because this pillars don't look very inviting to pedestrians. Overall the design has potential but the site plan has flaws imo and the building is ugly.
June 30, 20222 yr yeah, both corners need fixed, which unfortunately it doesn't seem they will do, but otherwise it's ... ok. the big picture is it's so cool to see e105th getting some development action. it would be ideal for that to return to being the great high street it should be.
