Halle Building to house Case offices

Move seen as boost for Euclid Avenue

Case Western Reserve University is moving 325 of its employees downtown to the Halle Building, one of Cleveland's oldest landmark buildings.

 

The move, which is expected to occur in the middle of next year, is a plus for downtown's office market and especially for Euclid Avenue, which is full of vacant and half-vacant buildings between East 13th and East Ninth streets.

 

Case will occupy 80,000 square feet on three floors in the 392,000-square-foot building, with an option for an additional 40,000 square feet. Currently, the Halle Building, 1228 Euclid Ave., has more than 130,000 square feet of vacant space. The university also had looked at other downtown locations, including the BP Tower and the May Co. Building, both on Public Square.

I was just on Cleveland.com and someone in the economic development forum said that Case is not moving these offices downtown due to money problems. I went on WKYC.com to watch the video, but I was unable to get it to play. Can someone please fill me in as to what is going on?

whats up with this news? anyone have the inside story? this is not good.

Sounds like it is part of the budgetary problem.  They have to cut $17 million from the budget for next year. Hopefully, funding will be available soon.

Here's what the CWRU Observer had to say:

 

 

Budget deficit puts plans to move to Halle Building on hold

The scheduled move of 325 Case employees into the Halle Building in downtown Cleveland has been postponed until further notice. Employees from the university relations staff, the accounts payable and purchasing offices, as well as some information technology staff were expected to move into the building.

 

As one of Cleveland's oldest landmark buildings, the Halle Building is located at 1228 Euclid Avenue. Two years ago, Case signed an agreement with Forest City Enterprises Inc. to lease 80,000 square feet of office space in the building. The total office space would occupy three floors of the 392,000 square foot building.

My company's Cleveland office is in the Halle building and is well known throughout our 14 offices to have one of the best views...overlooking the Jake.  It's a great office space.

That's a stretch. How does the reporter define landmark?

Halle Berry was named after it and it was the Winfred-Louder Building in the Drew Carey Show?

because any john q public who watches too much television should be able to say, that building looks familiar?

Then does the nearly identical Halle's Annex across Huron (but since converted into a parking garage) also qualify as a landmark?

not to mention anyone who knows john q public's is way too cleveland. heh.

 

was halle berry really named after halle's? i never heard that one. cute.

 

The Halle Brothers department store was also considered in the same leagues as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman in the heyday of Euclid Avenue retail.

 

KJP, I've led quite a few walking tours which were attended by plenty of people who were in Cleveland for the first time. On several occasions, many of them piped up and asked "isn't that the store from the Drew Carey show?". It's a landmark.

Since I don't watch much TV except for Bloomberg, the History Channel etc, I guess I'll have to take your word for it. For me, I'll stick with Terminal Tower, Key Tower and, probably my favorite building downtown, the Arcade. But that's more of a pedestrian landmark since you could drive by it and never notice it.
