August 7, 20195 yr 11 hours ago, w28th said: It is going to be ugly, but I won’t argue with the density. It's personally not my favorite aesthetically either, at least as shown in renderings. But it's creative and ambitious and will interact with the street very well. Not to mention, it stares directly in the face of a 15 story, concrete, brutalist housing project - so it's hard for me to use the word "ugly"
August 7, 20195 yr Author Everyone has their own opinion of beauty. So the only question for me is, does the design add density, mixed use, relate to the street well, etc.? The answer is yes.

The answer is yes. I honestly cannot wait for next summer with some of the retail up and running there. Going to be such a cool little enclave.
August 7, 20195 yr Very bad iPhone SE picture quality. Church+State Tower crane viewed from the 13th floor of the Federal Court House. Gives a good idea of the buildings future Presence
August 7, 20195 yr Will be interesting to see what kind of retail they can land there. There are signs up for a barbershop and nail salon in the adjacent print shop building, though those spaces have been empty for a little bit. I know the block club was pushing for a pharmacy and the developers would love to have one, but have not found any interested parties.

August 8, 20195 yr I noticed the crane yesterday to great surprise. Is it possible that Ohio City will have THREE cranes up at the same time with this project, Dexter, and Ohio City Market Plaza?

Is it possible that Ohio City will have THREE cranes up at the same time with this project, Dexter, and Ohio City Market Plaza? In my humble opinion, I don't think a crane will be necessary at Dexter and - while Market Plaza certainly will need AT LEAST one, I bet we won't be seeing that until late next Spring/early Summer at the earliest.
August 8, 20195 yr Author Dexter has a short crane on site. Snavely's phase 3 will also likely have a short crane too. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

August 11, 20195 yr I've been reading UO for nearly 3 years, but will dip a toe in the water and post my first comment. I was in Ohio City today having lunch at Market Garden Brewery with my two sons and the place was packed. Also went to Westside Market and Mitchell's ice cream and the vibrancy and energy was stunning...people everywhere having a great time and enjoying the local hotspots. I am so proud of my adopted hometown and I am very confident that developments such as Church + State will fill quickly once they come online!

August 14, 20195 yr For the record, I was not driving, nor do I ever attempt to take photos while driving - no photo is ever worth the risk. My thoughts on this were galvanized ten years ago when one of the longtime skyscraperpage.com (SSP - essentially where urbanohio originated) forumers was killed while scouting photo locations. Even worse, the forumer left behind a wife and two young children ? Edited August 14, 20195 yr by MayDay clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

August 24, 20195 yr Author Looks like this is going to have the same or similar construction technique as The Edge on Euclid Ave by CSU. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
August 25, 20195 yr ^ I was going to say the same thing. We should see this rise up pretty quick now.
August 30, 20195 yr I noticed they had windows installed on the Church side. Seems like this thing will be up and completely enclosed in no time. Also, this building will have quite the presence as you approach the city on the Shoreway.
