This is a HUGE missing link along Euclid that will drastically change the atmosphere once it's finished. I moved here about three years ago, between this and CAC/Athlon its crazy how great this is. Like, plastic fluttering in the wind/vacant goliaths were such a bad look for a downtown...so glad it'll be a thing of the past in the very near future!!

Same, I just moved into Halle last week....walking down Euclid ave right now its fun to imagine what its going to look like from Lumen to Playhouse Square! Good bye plastic bags in windows!!
February 14, 20196 yr I love seeing everyone flock into downtown again! The next few years are going to be fun. I'm also getting an apartment (hopefully at the Beacon) after I graduate from CSU in May.

Edited February 15, 20196 yr by lockdog did not know what I was doing..
February 25, 20196 yr Would have been slightly more interesting if restoration would have gone back to ORIGINAL dates, but I realize trying to duplicate those would require still more time and moneys, so I'm thrilled the Beaux-Arts look of the '20s will one more grace this section of The Avenue..... When is project completion currently anticipated?

Everyone who lives in PHS must walk in the street around the barricades to get to and from Heinen’s. In Chicago last fall I noted every construction project allowed pedestrians a sidewalk. Also, I didn't see a single push-button "walk" signal. I was in many districts.
March 29, 20196 yr Nothing really new, I'll try and take pics monthly or something to keep tabs on progress.

April 30, 20196 yr Sorry for the not so great angle but noticed just now they are taking off the panels from the easternmost building!
April 30, 20196 yr Well, if you walk past someone taking pictures of a building under construction, chances are they hang out here.
May 1, 20196 yr I was watching them take panels down today...Those windows will be huge!!! This is going to really change that section of Euclid!!!

May 19, 20196 yr I don't think the windows in tge most eastern bldg. will be that large. Drawings show five windows across.

June 6, 20196 yr I just searched 'timeline' on the forum and didn't come up with anything [admittedly half-assed searching on my part], when do they expect this project to be complete?
June 6, 20196 yr They’ve been pumping concrete into there every day for the last month or so through the back alley.

June 11, 20196 yr I can't wait to see what retail goes in there. Could help make Euclid Cleveland's version of Chicago's Magnificent Mile.
June 12, 20196 yr The Statler has a few long dormant retail spots that are going live as well. The whole first floor inside facing Euclid is getting demo’d currently. One large space, 3 smaller ones. Copper Moon coffee shop took the first small spot.
June 12, 20196 yr I am really impressed with how quickly they seem to restoring the middle two sections of the building... they've already been cleaned and seem to be restoring the detailing that was damaged. Looks great!
June 12, 20196 yr I like that elevated scaffolding unit. I don't think I've seen that used here before.
June 12, 20196 yr My buddy James is the proprietor of Copper Moon. He recently moved the shop to the street front space from the lobby of Statler Arms. Helluva good cuppa joe! Edited June 12, 20196 yr by CCC

June 24, 20195 yr ^I'm surprised they are removing that storefront. It is nice cut stone that would look sharp with a bath.
June 24, 20195 yr ^Don't the credits require restoration (or recreation) of the historic facade? Edited June 24, 20195 yr by StapHanger

But if the developer does elect to make changes, the design must meet federal rehabilitation standards. 43 minutes ago, mack34 said: They re adding another level of Windows....... Ah, okay.
June 24, 20195 yr Ah, got it. In this case, a previous owner (and original credit applicant, I believe) ripped off the post-war skin installed on half the building and the developer plans to restore the facade of the whole thing to what it looked like before modernization (though still not the original facade).

June 24, 20195 yr ^ That tour of Euclid Ave in 2008 is a wonderful reminder of how far things have come. It’s also a useful reminder of what the average Cleveland.com poster has in their head when spouting their logorrhea about downtown. My hovercraft is full of eels

Even uglier than the old JHB, and much larger and more prominent. It's just stunning that anyone ever thought that was an improvement. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
