(Filed 11-8-06) More info on this from the St. Clair-Superior CDC newsletter. Hadn't heard about the Florian Court one. Here's a link: http://www.rysar.com/proposedprojects/ProjectDetail.asp?DevId=12 New Upscale Housing on 45th Street! Jamie Blackson Baker The East 45th Lofts are underway. This project entails the conversion of an existing warehouse at 1427 East 45th Street to twenty loft apartments. The developer, Doug Perkowski received approvals at the Board of Zoning appeals on December 4th. He expects to start construction this winter and finish mid-to-late 2007. The units are 2 stories and will feature kitchens opening to living space, with bedrooms upstairs. The East 40s Block club reviewed the plans in early December and expressed their enthusiasm about the positive addition to the neighborhood.This development will compliment efforts at Florian Court, a new construction condo project just south of the site. With these 2 significant developments in progress, East 45th and 47th Streets will be the talk of the town.
February 20, 200718 yr ^What! That's not old. Its funny to me when people call 25, 30, 40 old. :-D In my opinion you still have about 20 years before you're officially "old", but hey what do I know I'm 21.

February 21, 200718 yr Grays Auctioneers, an art auction house, has relocated to Cleveland from New York. They will be located near W. 107th and Detroit, at an old used car dealership. Building renovations are nearly complete, with landscaping and new fencing to get underway shortly. They hope to hold their first auction in April, and to have their Web site launched shortly beforehand.
February 21, 200718 yr Hi all, The land for the Florian Court was cleared two years ago and the property has been fenced in since then. I was wondering when work would get started. On the web site they state, "Located just steps away from vibrant Superior Avenue in the heart of downtown Cleveland," That is a bit of a stretch. I grew up on E 45th. between Superior and Paine Ave. My mom and sister still live in the house we moved into in the summer of 51. As for the age thing I am 63 and don't consider myself old, I feel old at times, but that is weather related. ;-) Warm nuzzle and bear hugz to all. Jim S.
February 21, 200718 yr Author Cool news. And their choice of location is interesting. I couldn't find any information about them on a Google search. B12, do you have contact info etc. for them?

February 22, 200718 yr The last I heard (a couple months back), Florian was still a go. This is the 24-unit new construction townhome development being championed by St. Clair Superior that was developed using feng shui standards (see the beginning of http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=3128.0;topicseen). From what I had heard, the market demand was a little sluggish and they were thinking of target marketing a subset of the units to the artist population. Not sure where it stands, but the additional of 24 apartment units sounds promising.
February 23, 200718 yr I work six storefronts from the Market; it's a grand idea. NCB can afford the astronomical rents too. The vendors I frequent the most are tired of the high rents, though I admit to not knowing how much they pay.

Sounds interesting, but I don't really know what you are talking about.

They did have the sewer connections in, but there was no above ground construction. Didn't notice anyone there working, but didn't have too much time to look.
February 26, 200718 yr Crain's Engineer, architect job openings on the rise By JAY MILLER 6:00 am, February 26, 2007 The Monster Local Employment Index says job openings in architecture and engineering grew faster in Cleveland over the last year than in any other market it tracks in the country...
February 27, 200718 yr Author The Monster Local Employment Index says job openings in architecture and engineering grew faster in Cleveland over the last year than in any other market it tracks in the country. That is a wonderful tidbit!! And what does that say about what's around the corner construction-wise? Of course, it doesn't suggest where the construction will happen! But I'll bet most of it would be local. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 27, 200718 yr So is that a good thing for me, especially since I graduate with my B of Arch in 10 weeks?!?!?! ALMOST THERE!
March 1, 200718 yr Cleveland needs to come up with a project to get rid of all those seagulls that fly over the freeway by the sewer plant. What a great way to enter the city, car gets craped on and then you pass a run down abandon ho jo hotel. Beautiful!
March 1, 200718 yr Seagulls are just pigeons of the sea. They should build a windmill there to chop 'em up. And, ummm, generate clean power too!

Deech the HoJo will be fixed up....but I take it you haven't read enough items in the forum to know that.
March 1, 200718 yr i love driving by those seagulls, i think thats so Cleveland of you to complain that people wont live/visit cleveland because theres a lot of sea birds flying around
March 2, 200718 yr I never said that people wouldn’t live or visit Cleveland because of the Seagulls! I was just saying that it's not the prettiest way to enter a city!
March 2, 200718 yr I never said that people wouldn’t live or visit Cleveland because of the Seagulls! I was just saying that it's not the prettiest way to enter a city! What is your solution?? :roll: Give us a real answer not some knee jerk reaction.
March 2, 200718 yr well who cares if its not the prettiest way to enter a city, its not Disneyland for christs sake
March 2, 200718 yr I never said that people wouldn?t live or visit Cleveland because of the Seagulls! I was just saying that it's not the prettiest way to enter a city! I've never thought that seagulls were such negative thing. I like them.
March 2, 200718 yr If your reference is to the plant on I-90 between E 55 and E 72 (and I think it is because you mention the old HoJo which is an eyesore, not the birds) it is a power plant and not a sewer plant. The birds are attracted to the site, especially in the winter because of the warm waters surround the plant. I just happen to drive by the other day and was stunned and pleased to see the huge number of gulls. It was fun to watch them and certainly was in no manner a negative. Basically just nature. We can use a little of it in the city. And by the way the city has more important things to throw money at than trying to get rid of a bunch of birds. What nonsense.
March 2, 200718 yr ^I agree with you, except in the case of rats with wings (some people call them pigeons). I'd pay for electrified nets for those things! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
March 2, 200718 yr seagulls, pigeons, what's next? Squirrels? (Otherwise known as rats with better hair)
March 2, 200718 yr I like 'em. They're a nice reminder that we're actually close to a big body of water!
March 2, 200718 yr Nature? Only in the same way that rats, pigeons, and cockroaches are nature. There are so many of them because they live off of our refuse.
March 2, 200718 yr You know, pigeons are a species of doves. Therefore all you pigeon haters hate peace and love. QED.
March 6, 200718 yr Saw this posted on graigslist.com. interesting...

March 6, 200718 yr Isn't the DCA supposed to be handling this? Oh yeah, while watching TV saturday afternoon I heard somebody screaming outside on Euclid & E12th.. Something about a "punk ass bitch" and "come on come on, bring it".. When I peeked out the window I was surprised to see it was a DCA ambassador. Hah!
