Council already passed this ordinance.  The Jackson administration refuses to enforce it.

I'm sure there's one group who could weigh in. 

We have a thread for discussing the Jackson Administration.  Any discussion here needs to keep real tight to the topic of City Club.

From this morning

 

while we wait and just for comparison -- brooklyn is getting a (sorta) city- clubish res bldg with windows and balconies sticking out willy nilly:

 

https://urbanize.city/nyc/post/16-story-104-unit-residential-development-planned-boerum-hill

 

any others that look like this city club?

Neither are anything that interesting, but the NYC building is much better from a design standpoint, but that's just me.

^  i was just wondering if anyone knew of other buildings that kind of look like city club.

 

it seems to be a little bit of a trend for a certain level of developments to be colorful and have things sticking out weirdly like windows and balconies.

 

i can only assume they want to attract zoomers with colorful quirkiness.

Let's keep it to this development.

The construction site plan that completely blocks the sidewalk and the traffic lane seems like it's going to result in a big mess.

Let's be honest, there is no good reason to drive on Euclid Ave. The only way you should down that road is by bus, bike or walking

or walking

Kind of annoying when they fence off the whole sidewalk lol. Just like the Waterford Bluffs construction. I LOVE all the development just wish I could still use the sidewalks in the meantime that's all.

For sure. I bike to work via Euclid and right now and my main thought is how they've created a setup that is inefficient (for the HealthLine) at best and dangerous for bikers and pedestrians at its worst. They've periodically been doing the same thing with the construction in Midtown, too.

Probably not a surprise at this point, but GIS has been updated with the property transfer. Guess that makes it official-er.

Just a little inside baseball: the property/transfer data is updated nightly whereas the GIS is typically updated weekly. So, if a property is transferred and there's no linework changes (or parcel number changes) you should see it pretty much the next day if things are operating on all cylinders. We're working on making the GIS part of things a nightly process but that's still a ways out. 

Why is there no listing or documents for this parcel number or the principals involved showing up on the property site?

Sorry if I'm misconstruing the q, but when Myplace isn't showing all documents it's always worth searching the AFN in the Recorded Document Search site: https://fiscalofficer.cuyahogacounty.us/en-US/RecordedDocumentsServices.aspx. Just did a quick search and it looks like the plat and some correspondence was uploaded.

I walked by here today around mmmm lets say noon. Sidewalk blocked off. Lane of traffic blocked off. Not one bit of evidence anything is happening. Parking lot looks intact minus one bollard knocked over

^Yeah, nothings happened since the 23rd. I’m guessing they’ll start in earnest on Jan 3rd. There was a guy with a theodolite there this afternoon. 

I hope this project motivates the owner of the original City Club building to renovate. I did some work in there a few years ago and its ridiculous how far they’ve let that place go. Also, whatever restaurant was in there in 2019 I sincerely hope closed. We did work in the morning and the last night’s kitchen was a wreck. Food everywhere, dishes everywhere… but it did fit in nicely with the general atmosphere of the building so maybe its all on point. 

Die surface lot! Hipp hooray! (See what I did there?)

p

I’ll one up you … okay six up - from the sixth floor of the parking garage. 

Awesome to see

Wow that’s awesome and that residential tower is going to bring some vibrant energy to the area. Bye bye parking lot

Seems like all they do is take out trees in this City.   Just kidding, I'll gladly lose a few trees for construction of this new tower as the trees can be replaced when the project is done.

Seems strange that they're delivering manholes, and several of them, to the site of a residential tower.  I really hope the lot isn't being used to stage materials for a sewer project on Euclid, and this is the start of the project.

Tall apartment buildings have water and sewer.

^They would tie into the existing sewer.  IDK, just thought its odd that they would stage precast concrete structures prior to stripping the existing asphalt parking lot if they were planning to excavate for sewers.

I'm pretty sure the work being done here is for what is spelled out in this permit:

Obviously these trees had to be removed given the footprint of the new building but it's really sad / Ironic that this is one of the few stretches of trees downtown that are actually alive and well haha... of course 🙃

Very nice 

I recall someone here on UO spoke to the construction crews last March (or so) who said the tower crane would be installed on the sidewalk. They were a good source. This is from this Friday's PC agenda...

 

ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVALS

1.                 Ordinance No. 1147-2021(Ward 3/Councilmember McCormack): Authorizing the Director of Capital Projects to issue a permit to CCA CBD Cleveland, LLC, 328 S. Jefferson Street, Suite 570, Chicago, IL 60661 to encroach into the public right-of-way of Euclid Avenue by installing and using approximately twelve (12) micropiles as necessary subsurface support for the foundation for the tower crane to be used in the construction of the City Club Apartments project at 776 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44114.  

Hey, that was me!! lol.....It was one of the crew doing the utilities work

Hopefully whatever damage is done to the sidewalk is fixed correctly when they are done. The patch job done in front of the Beacon is ugly and embarrassing.

Not much of an update but there was a concrete pour in the northeast corner of the site.

 

Sure are enough manhole structures.  That could fill up a Walmart parking lot!

 

Being that this building will be utilizing the existing garage for parking, this could be like SHW and go up quick without a basement, or need to dig out a “bathtub”. 

I saw that the ceremonial groundbreaking occurred on December 10, 2021, kicking off at the site of a new 23-story mixed-use building in Cleveland known as City Club Apartments. That was five weeks ago. Is the crane base in place yet?

i have noticed its very common to have lags between ribbon cuttings and the start of obvious work on new buildings.

 

for this project it looks like they have a bit of sewer work to do before they start ripping up the parking lot. so actually site prep work has begun.

 

also, we have had holidays and omnicron.

 

just a guess with this developer per watching detroit, but it would seem they will get to the lot and foundation around summer time.

Didn't have time to go onto the parking garage, but parking lot is up and they're digging in the dirt now...

 

 

Excellent!!

All of those windows on the west side of The City Club Building! I assume that you can currently see all the way to Public Square. That will be changing soon!

^ Veering OT here, but the City Club Building is a real mess and has a pretty-much absentee landlord. I know someone who worked in the kitchens there in the 80s and it was overrun with roaches and vermin and I understand it’s no better 40 years on.
I toured the Schofield a few years ago and they kept apologizing for the state of their neighbor and that they’d tried to get the landlord to make it presentable, but to no avail.  
I’m really hoping this new development spurs something positive for it. Maybe having some clients have a less than stellar view might catalyze some improvements. 

Yeah this construction site is definitely missing something... something that I can't quite put my finger on, maybe something at street level around the fencing.  Something that shouts, "Hey! This site is the future home of something... something spectacular!"  I wonder... 

 

But very glad to see construction moving 😀

Are you asking for World Class Signage(TM)...in THIS economy??

Any updates? 

They've been doing sitework/excavation every day.  Also some significant utilties or gas line work at E9th/Euclid that may be related to the project.

I took these pics this morning (safety disclaimer: my wife was driving)

Such a beautiful sight to see…Marie would be proud.🥲🥳
