All that in 1 calendar year.

December 18, 20195 yr I know it seems strange, but this is one of the more exciting renos in downtown in my opinion. Street life in this area will be crucial to connecting the eastern end of downtown to the public square/e 4th district. A right mix of retail could really liven up the area and make the pedestrian experience much more pleasant coming from 9th and Lakeside area. We did such a great job with Euclid, but the other E-W streets need the attention now. I am hoping that the Midway cycle track really gives Superior an improved feel to make up for the lack of retail....We will see once it is pulled off.
December 18, 20195 yr ^ That florist that turned out to be the film set actually made that corner look so much better lol.
December 18, 20195 yr I just don't get this project. Am I correct in surmising that this is truly just a renovation. This building always had ground floor retail and an office on top, with parking sandwiched between. So, from a street perspective, ... all the owners are doing is putting a new façade at the retail level, right?

December 26, 20195 yr As the news and chatter is slow here on UO, due to the holidays I'm sure, I thought I'd share the list of things I'd love to have before Christmas morning 2020... it may be a lofty list. ? 1-Deal closed and construction progress of some sort on a Substantial SHW tower on the Jacobs lot. 2-Construction progress on the CityClub tower on Euclid. 3-A new 550+ foot tower is announced(whether commercial, residential or mixed). .....and last but not least..... 4-The new OH TaxBill is passed, which allows Stark to build the Original 54FL nuCLEus, and ground is broken. I know this may be asking for a lot, but I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility: 1-We know the SHW deal is very close. 2-Rumors say the CityClub tower should brake ground in 2020. 3-For the 550+ tower with everything going on in CLE it could be announced for a residential building; new company to CLE tower/or a current one building a new HQ, Hotel or mixed use. Who knows, maybe even a "Lumen Part 2" via PHS on 13th and Chester. 4-It appears the OH TaxBill is moving closer to the finish line and with that, if chosen, nuCLEus/Stark could get a BIG shot in the arm. Seeing how he has waited this long, created a "smaller" version(which I think could just be a backup plan incase his TaxBill plan falls through, plus a way to keep everyone(city+investors) on their toes) but still has not moved forward, and almost appears to be Stalling....... I would not be shocked if Stark is waiting to see if the TaxBill play will allow him to build his original dream tower. Does anyone know how much Stark needed to build the nuCLEus 1.0 and what the gap was that he was missing? Also, if granted the new OH-TaxBill would that be enough, or close? Any thoughts on my list?
December 26, 20195 yr Author 1. If SHW isn't on the Jacobs/Weston lots, it will be in the CityBlock Riverview phase. Whichever site doesn't get SHW is a strong candidate to get the courthouse tower. If either lands on the CityBlock Riverview phase, it will likely accelerate the other pieces of that development. But SHW will surely accelerate it better. 2. Will share a rumor about CityClub tower in that thread. 3. I don't see a 550+ foot tower in our future. Nothing out there in rumorland would be that high. 4. Will share a rumor about nuCLEus in that thread. The TMUD tax credit could impact multiple projects -- Centennial, nuCLEus, Geis, Westinghouse, possibly others...

I love your Wish List. It is basically the same as my list. But then reality sets in. This is Cleveland. I am 65 years old I have been following Downtown Cleveland developments since i was 22 years. There have been substantially more lows and disappointments than highs. It is always something in cleveland. Can't get enough financing, construction costs are too high , the economy turn south, last minute mergers etc. etc. etc. Everytime the economy turns south it hurts us more than most cities and it always takes us longer to recover longer than most cities. I think the only project that i feel positive about is SHW. I think the economy is ready for a downturn especially if we elect a democrat in the next election. We need Shovels in the ground on these projects or they will never get off the ground.

False hope makes you invest (financially and emotionally) in things that have no realistic chance (e.g. block scam, Pesht, Starks Reserve Square II) , rather than investing in things that could actually happen (SW tower, completing waterfront loop, condo tower next to Danny's old location, CVSR into Terminal Tower, etc.). We have limited resources. We shouldn't waste them on things that have no chance of succeeding. We should invest realistically. That is not pessimism. False hope would be wishing for Terdolph Park to remain a dirt lot getting in the way of an ambitious, place making project, wishing for low rise structures on Public Square that could never in 300 years pay for the land that they’re built on, and wishing for low rent outlet stores, in a high rent structure (TC).

I wholeheartedly disagree. Did I say “Cleveland will never be a great city again?” Did I literally say that? Or did I actually say “the city will never be what it used to be”, meaning this isnt going to be the Cleveland of the 70s. Why do you assume that means that it’ll be worse? I’d argue that in many ways it’s BETTER than the past. That’s my point, stop living in the past. Old Clevelanders always negatively compare today’s city to the city of the past. I’m saying to stop doing that. We can have a different city. A better city. As long as I’ve been around this blog you should know from my post history that I don’t believe this city can’t be great again. I mean, look at my damn screen name for goodness sakes. I said what I meant, there was no need to read into something that I didn’t say when the point I was making was the exact opposite of the assumption you made, which was to appreciate where we are now and stop looking backwards and using that to judge forward movement.

December 27, 20195 yr "I’m very deliberate with my words....You never have to guess what I mean." Well apparently not deliberate enough. You were specifically talking about Cleveland and then said, "This city will never be what it used to be." with the reference that it was once a great city, but since has suffered a rough few decades from the 70s. So, you may have meant something else, but to me it clearly reads, 'Cleveland was great, has fallen since the 70s, but look forward not backwards even though it will never be the great city it once was.' Furthermore, you say, "Old Clevelanders always negatively compare today’s city to the city of the past. I’m saying to stop doing that."

What in TF are you talking about? It’s literally impossible for something to be exactly like it used to be. That’s what happens with time. Everything is in a forward moving fashion. Nothing stays the same. So for you to say that I’m negatively comparing the city of today to its past by saying it will never be what it used to be is ludicrous and you just not wanting to admit that you were wrong about what I said. I JUST told you that I believe in many ways the Cleveland of today is BETTER than the Cleveland of the past. You are the one assuming that by me saying that we won’t be what we used to be that I’m saying that as a pejorative. That says more about your thought process than mine. I personally think it’s great that our downtown buildings aren’t covered in soot and our river isn’t catching on fire and we have some neighborhoods in the city that people want to move to instead of running away from. I think it’s great that our city’s economy is more driven by eds, meds, arts and health care than our manufacturing history (while still important). YOU are the one that continues to say that I’m making a negative comparison. I’m literally telling you twice now that I’m not. Personally I think there was a lot of things in that old Cleveland that sucked. The only thing I wish we had from back then is the population size but I could do without a lot of the other stuff we had back then. I like this Cleveland better.

SHW HQ on Public Square 2. One of SHW's secondary HQ buildings on the Superblock could be 15+ stories 3. City Club Apartments 4. Justice Center Courthouse tower 5. Lumen Act II 6. Geis condo tower 7. Unidentified apartment tower 8. Unidentified office building 9. CityBlock Riverview apartments 10. CityBlock Riverview hotel/office 11. nuCLEus apartment tower 12. nuCLEus office tower This doesn't include a half-dozen proposed new mid-rises in the 5- to 12-story range, not including Geis' The Avenue condos already underway. With SHW/City Club/Lumen II/Geis Tower/CityBlock Riverview/nuCLEus taking up 10 current surface parking lots(from small to very large lots) downtown, plus the potential of the 10 to 15 rumored projects coming down the road... the surface lots in the CBD may be completely gone soon!!!
