March 25, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, KJP said: I think he's talking re-population, not displacement. You can't displace people who aren't there. People need to stop throwing the word "gentrification" around to mean revitalization. Gentrification generally means [academically] the displacement of poor residents who get displaced as housing costs rise. Its the connotation it carries. Screaming that you want gentrification translates that you want the poor people to leave. Although one could argue it's really hard to revitalize any area without the displacement of those who can't afford rising house costs. But that's a different topic not needed for this thread/forum. Not here to start an argument or anything.
March 25, 20196 yr ^Yes, KJP. Thank You. I am not advocating tearing down Riverview or Lakeview Estates in Ohio City which, would be a direct displacement of poor people. But absolutely I think we need to be happy if rents tick up in Old Brooklyn, West Blvd, Cudell. Let's just be real here. If you have a stable job in Cleveland, you have a lot of choice where you can live. Subsidized housing aside, would you choose to pay $600-$700 to be in a stable neighborhood like Old Brooklyn or pay $400-$500 to live in St Clair-Superior? Because that's currently the difference in price points. We will never advance as a city this way unless we get a massive influx of immigrants which unfortunately probably won't happen soon. And it's not like we are relegating poor people to far flung suburbs like you see in other cities. The neighborhoods that need filled in arguably have some of the best transit access in the state and better access to jobs. I am saying that maybe higher rents in some neighborhoods will force working class citizens to take another look at a place like Slavic Village. Then, hopefully the influx of this populace will disrupt the cycle of extreme poverty that has been entrenched in these neighborhoods for generations now and bring better amenities. The rising tides lifts all ships theory. And by better amenities, I am not saying art galleries or Starbucks. I am saying let's start by filling the vacant buildings with something other than the nothingness there now where residents literally have to drive to Steelyard to get their basic necessities.

June 20, 20195 yr I think this is testing the market so I don’t blame them for trying to keep costs down through material choice. If these do well and the area continues to build up I could see future projects incorporating brick and other higher cost materials.
June 20, 20195 yr Yeah, I'd have to think there are some pretty serious limits on overall costs for that area. It's great to see projects like this going up around that area.
June 20, 20195 yr I totally agree. I understand why they're doing it. I really love how they're hiding that parking too.
June 20, 20195 yr The hiding of the parking and the entire site plan is due to the hard work of a select few in City Planning and Community Development at City Hall.

But hey, if we would just pass a form based code the outcomes would be easy.
June 21, 20195 yr I like the small little green area in the parking lot. It says shaded green space if my eyes are correct , but I think it would be nice if it were maybe some sort of rain retention/rain garden as well? Is there pricing available on these?

August 1, 20195 yr I'm trying to figure out where this is- East 108th doesn't go between Lee/Orville. It ends at Lee.

August 1, 20195 yr Anyone know if the homes are market rate or a mix of lower income and market rate?
September 7, 20195 yr Picture I got a couple days ago with the landscaping outside mostly complete. August 1st was first move in day and they're up to about 50% occupied now, primarily Cleveland Clinic employees and CWRU grad students. The only part of the building that still needs much work is the first floor for all the retail spots. Current estimated date of completion is October 15th. Also, if you haven't tried their stuff yet, I highly recommend Cleveland Cold Brew who's moving into one of those spots.

October 1, 20195 yr Cleveland awarded $9.7 million, Cuyahoga $5.6 million in federal grants for lead cleanup in Glenville, suburbs Today 1:49 PM By Rachel Dissell, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland is one of seven communities in the country that was awarded a new “High Impact Neighborhood” grant by the the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Cleveland’s $9.7 million award, announced Monday, will allow the city to mount an intense effort to cleanup lead paint hazards and improve the health of housing in a section of Glenville, a neighborhood with historically high rates of lead poisoning. In its application, the city estimated the grant could help reduce lead hazards in more than 600 Glenville homes. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2019/10/cleveland-awarded-97-million-cuyahoga-56-million-in-federal-grants-for-lead-cleanup-in-glenville-suburbs.html

October 19, 20195 yr I'm genuinely confused at the Circle North Apartments retail section. When you ride past it the building looks like it is being build for office/meeting space, it's filled with office chairs and I believe TV's. Am I missing something? What's going on?

November 8, 20195 yr Took a stroll down my old neighborhood to see the progress of the new homes they are building on Lee and 105th Street. Also checked in on the Ashbury Apartments a few days ago.

November 18, 20195 yr @MyPhoneDead - - talk about tight footprints. I live in the building next door and I'd hate to try to pull a Uhaul in the proposed driveway to unpack... Not user friendly at all. Does anyone have the plans for the Ashbury project? They told us it would be 8 units, but our view of the interior only has 3 floors and no planned front entrance? We're assuming the ground level (no basement) will be for utilities/washers/storage... TIA

November 21, 20195 yr Thank you for finding this! Not loving the addition of "micro apartments" to the neighborhood... Ashbury is a historic street and the uber modern look of the facade is troubling imo. Also the parking will be lacking. They hardly have available street parking in front of the building as is and to make one of the 8 spaces a mandatory ADA space... for 8 units... Plus, there isn't any mention about a dumpster vs. curb trash. If they're putting bins out then the street parking for tenants is not a viable option.
