November 22, 20195 yr I never saw the rendering for this building, wow that white is ugly. I don't mind the parking situation, it's an urban area it just comes with the territory of a growing neighborhood.

January 11, 20205 yr Just noticed that a grand opening date was set for Glenville Circle North. It's been quite a while longer than I was told this would take, but at long last, the ribbon cutting will be on the 31st! https://m.facebook.com/events/2952386511472803

Offices are expected to be on the upper floors. Town homes will be created in a building behind the bakery. . . . He says other developers in town are already flocking to the area.

February 1, 20205 yr A few additional pictures from today! There was a huge turnout for the grand opening and ribbon cutting which was really amazing to witness. This development is reflective of a new era - for Glenville and the East Side plus the city as a whole. Everyone today was so excited and PROUD of this development. This is special, and we really do need more of it.
February 19, 20205 yr Love Kenny and love seeing this development (and these businesses) get some much-deserved media attention!

February 21, 20205 yr The Ashbury Pointe townhomes at E 120th and Ashbury are listed online now. Prices ranging from $300-330k https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1489-E-120th-St-1-Cleveland-OH-44106/2080994367_zpid/
February 21, 20205 yr I hate to be cynical, and I'm sure there are prospective buyers, but the homes northwest and northbound range from $19,000 to $120,000. Directly southwest they range from $105,000-$223,000. Directly southwest $25,000-$111,000. And there are lots of empty plots of land throughout. New construction is just something else these days. Spending $300+ thousand in an area that, frankly, is still significantly disinvested, not particularly walkable day or night -- and is frankly not that safe is questionable at that price point.
February 21, 20205 yr ^Ashbury is one street north of the historical part of Wade Park; the Councilman lives on Ashbury himself. I don't have a crime report in front of me but I don't know if Ashbury is that unsafe- that may be perception, which would be understandable.
February 21, 20205 yr I don't have a problem with the price for the location, but I have a problem with the price for that design. That design and style of a house looks like 150k from the 1990s, definitely not 330k from today.

The homes on 120th-122nd Wade Park that just were constructed are $250K-$300K and they sold before they were even built and a house getting built on that street right now is sold and the foundation hasn't been poured. That Street is a simple right turn off of Ashbury. Ashbury is fine and unless you are coming with crime stats that typical crime argument is invalid. Now I will accept the other arguments that the design doesn't warrant that price. 200K-250K would have been the price to go with based off of what they offer. Edited February 21, 20205 yr by MyPhoneDead
February 21, 20205 yr Unfortunately one of the main driver is construction costs. These are all being sold at ~$160-180 per sq ft which is a pretty good rate for new housing in Cleveland.

March 9, 20205 yr The developer is Rick Maron and he's trying to do these around town on landbank lots. They're terribly unattractive.
March 9, 20205 yr ^ I will assume that these do not require approval by the Design Review Board. While there's a dramatic need for affordable housing, they can certainly be more attractive than this. Phenomenal landscaping can't even make this attractive. It's awful! Edited March 9, 20205 yr by Frmr CLEder
March 9, 20205 yr ^ I like the idea in general to put more units on vacant lots. but these things need to be designed better. They don't need to be a masterpiece in architecture but they should look decent.

March 9, 20205 yr The price is right and they serve a purpose, but the renderings make them look much more attractive than they do in the photo. The problem could be that it sits sideways on the lot. The side with the actual entrance is much more attractive and doesn't have the exposed utilities. Edited March 9, 20205 yr by Frmr CLEder

May 15, 20205 yr From the CPC presentation: the new Knez townhomes on Wade Park by the Hough Bakery. 37 units. 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.

May 15, 20205 yr It might be coming the long way around the back of the railroad tracks, but development is finally reaching up towards the Circle East Townhomes after all these years. I like the brick side of these - even if its a veneer - and the arched windows are a nice touch. I'm pleasantly surprised by these as a Knez design. The vinyl side is about what I expected.
