April 22, 20223 yr New Hough apartment complex for sale By Ken Prendergast / April 21, 2022 If there’s any building that shows the strength of the housing market in Cleveland’s University Circe, it’s the Axis at Ansel which is now for sale. Despite starting with two strikes against it, the developer hit a leasing home run. And now Signet Real Estate Group of Akron hopes to close out the game by selling the 163-unit apartment building and possibly use the sale proceeds for its next project in the booming area.

Many of those same stakeholders are now seeking a major investment in this north-south street to support its further development over the coming decade.

August 7, 20222 yr Thanks for the article Ken. I was wondering what the status of this project was after its approval by Planning Commission quite some time ago. It just seemed to be sitting. The question is, what is the next step if this quite substantial federal grant is denied. Do they just keep applying for things until the cows come home? Where are the local corporations and why don't the local foundations contribute to a larger extent. Projects like this are transformative and obviously result in additional development as you spell out. It is very frustrating observing the significant planning done to improve major street corridors and then simply watch them languish due to lack of funding. It seems like it has been forever since the Lorain and Superior Avenue remakes were proposed and it appears we are no where near close to seeing the visions implemented. Not to mention something major needs to be done to Detroit between Gordon Square and West 25th to compliment all the building happening on that stretch and it is not even a conversation yet.

One is structurally unsound and in danger of collapse after it was neglected by a so-called foundation facing a huge unpaid tax bill. The other will have its renovation and expansion plan reviewed by a committee of the City Planning Commission starting this week after it was bought by a successful, civic-minded local investor.

And, with that, there’s growing interest by local and national investors to make sure that gentrification doesn’t take hold and push away people who need jobs within an easy walk, bike or bus ride of booming University Circle.

So many buildings on Chester, most notably Upper Chester impact is lessened (to me) due to its setback from the street and the secondary "road" built to serve residents and retail customers. I do like that this provides a few curb cutouts to allow parking on Chester but this needs to be done more if a brand new streetscape isn't in the cards.
November 17, 20222 yr Even upgrading the land/hardscaping on the median could help. The value of making things look nice is just completely lost on the city. Especially where the grass was paved over on the medium just past e55th - across from the police station - it's just overrun with weeds by the time the summer starts.

Imagine that kind of capital investment and putting it farther from where people actually need to go than necessary. Euclid Ave rail or nothing at all.

With how long and wide those medians are can they be converted to bus stop’s similar to the health line and have BRT Lite going down the middle? Or what about the midway concept for Superior going down Chester instead and the third lane being a bus only lane similar to the CSU Line?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

January 28, 20232 yr New Hough housing seeks affordability By Ken Prendergast / January 28, 2023 As market-rate housing developments continue to be built in Hough, this east-side Cleveland neighborhood is facing a challenge it hasn’t had to deal with for a century — remaining affordable. To that end, two new developments are moving forward to offer up to 160 workforce housing units plus a few retailers/restaurants that will offer services to those new residents. Those would add to hundreds more housing units that were recently completed, are under construction or planned in response to strong job growth in and near University Circle.

January 28, 20232 yr Great article and you touch on this I just don't want the anti market-rate circle jerk to get out of hand. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/theres-no-such-thing-luxury-housing/618548/ Quote A flurry of studies over the past few years have consistently found that new market-rate development, even of the luxury variety, helps relieve pressure on local housing prices in this way. According to one 2019 study of low-income census tracts, the construction of new market-rate rentals resulted in rents for nearby buildings falling by 5 to 7 percent. A more recent 2021 study, by the economist Kate Pennington, looking exclusively at San Francisco, found a more modest drop of 2 percent, alongside evidence that new development reduces the displacement and eviction of existing residents. It might not change minds at a raucous public hearing, but the research is clear: Even new high-end development can help cool local housing prices. Edited January 28, 20232 yr by TotalTransit
January 30, 20232 yr The numbers don't seem like much but the general trend is very good. The city is beginning to see a steady drip, drip of new housing being built. And as these neighborhoods continue to reflect that l think we will begin to see the pace quicken. Growth will encourage more growth.
