July 18, 20222 yr ^ that is utterly fantastic. it’s a fully urban look, yet unique to cleveland. and needless to say, what a massive improvement on a very visible site. it’s no small thing either - a thoughtful and classy front door area like that will do its part to help leave residents and visitors alike with good vibes of downtown and public square.
July 18, 20222 yr The glassy SW and the new 55 with its pedestrian friendly plaza will juxtapose with one another very nicely.
July 18, 20222 yr Nice! See the open space around each tree. Allows oxygen to permeate into the soil for healthy root development. Contrast to whatever was going on with the failed Public Square tree plantings that @Ethanhas diligently been tracking. Edited July 18, 20222 yr by DO_Summers

July 21, 20222 yr The City of Cleveland is woefully inept at the most basic, yet important task. The planting of a tree in the “Forest” city. The city “arborist” must be advising on this project. And TC lol.
July 21, 20222 yr How much does the cost go up to plant more mature, sturdier trees? As opposed to planting crappy saplings, then digging them up and cementing over them every three years?

January 5, 20232 yr I hope they do something about the exterior of the building. Its not an attractive building for an apartment.
January 5, 20232 yr I was just on Apartments.com. It appears that apartments are currently available on the lower floors (less than 7). It appears that the apartments on the higher floors (14th floor) will be available on June 1, 2023. I didn't know that they were actively leasing.

January 29, 20232 yr Here’s a peek inside Residences at 55! Looks great, and the units are really nice.

Looks great, and the units are really nice.2 things:I wish they used a darker brick color to match the building and I think it would hold up better VS our weather, just my taste.I think K&D definitely learned from their terminal Tower conversion because these look so much better, I love these!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 29, 20232 yr The "Fahrenheit" signage feels overscaled for the design of the restaurant exterior. I do wish this part of the buildings renovation was more aesthetically pleasing.

The landscaping in front may balance things out--add depth, texture, and color.
January 29, 20232 yr Was hoping for some fun, mid century colors instead of "house flipper" grey, but hey, just very glad to see the place renovated.

January 31, 20232 yr The price point for the apartments at 55PS are very competitive in comparison to other markets. If I still lived here, I'd definitely consider locating there.

I'm surprised they left them as is, they look really dated in a bad way. The rest looks good to me.

February 3, 20232 yr I was playing around with ideas to make Fahreheit's signage to be scaled better onto the south facade. I thought to add some black banding around the window heights to mimic the 55 Public Square facade and add some chrome square mullion/fenestrations similar to the rhythm of the building. These would be placed at the same angle as the Fahrenheit logo. In between those the panels would be painted a soft grey to give the illusion of 55 Public Square casting a shadow onto the facade. The eastern facade panels above the entry would be painted a red color to separate it and give the restaurant it's own identity. enjoy! Thanks Urbanetics_ for the photos. I hope you don't mind that I used as my base
February 9, 20232 yr Fahrenheit is looking sharp at night! The refreshed facade, signage, and lighting make a really big impact. Already looks and feels so much better!

That place is going to do amazingly well and like John Qi’s back in the day, I can see it making a huge killing on Browns home games.
June 8, 20232 yr Some photos from Cleveland Construction today, according to their social media construction is wrapping up this month (https://twitter.com/CCI_Contractors/status/1666807486614208512/) Edited June 8, 20232 yr by GISguy
June 8, 20232 yr ^My nephew has lived there for over 2 months and loves it. Doesn't miss the drive from his parents house in Hudson to his downtown job.
June 11, 20232 yr It looks like K&D has added a bit of public art / signage to the front of the building. I like it, I think they've done a great job with the patio. Should be even better when Fahrenheit opens!
June 11, 20232 yr Yes! Those rectangular boxes remind me of the street scaping throughout Chicago. I’ve been there dozens of times but the street-level attention to detail really struck me this time. That and how the street lights were all working!

The art/signage looks suspiciously like the form of that placemaking art by the Ukrainian group that @KJPhas highlighted, including a proposed installation on the Mall. Any idea if it’s made by them?

June 12, 20232 yr Should look pretty cool lit at night. Assuming there is a light inside, which I’m guessing there is.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
