You know...reading Ken's article which included a lot of info on all the amenities City Club will offer (which are numerous and seemingly of high quality), it occurred to me that we may see an unexpected but consequential affect of this addition to the marketplace. That being it raises the bar for those providing housing downtown. 

 

If you follow various reviews of certain property owners you will often come across people complaining of high rents with poor maintenance or limited amenities. We like to throw around "world class" in describing something here which is usually far from it but in this case City Club doesn't have to be world class - just much better than we are used too. If they can do that all renters here may benefit. If Cleveland wants to compete for an educated and pampered workforce it will have to offer more than the average standard of quality we are often provided. 

 

We up our game - we snag some of those people rather than losing them to the Chicago's and New York's or LA's of the world. 

What are those black panels they are putting on the exterior insulation? Does the metal adhere to that stuff?

Also, just checked the construction cam and those concrete forms for the swoop are two floors high!

City Club tower tenants announced
By Ken Prendergast / June 22, 2023

 

Detroit-based City Club Apartments, a 104-year-old private real estate owner, developer and operator, held a Topping-Off event today on the 18th floor of its 23-story City Club Apartments-Cleveland mixed-use apartment and penthouse community. Mayor Justin Bibb and City Club Apartments Chairman and CEO Jonathan Holtzman were among the speakers at the event that celebrated the construction milestone, opening of the residential pre-leasing center nearby at 313 Euclid Ave. and the announcement of four café/restaurant/bar venues at the new 250-foot-tall tower.

Excited to finally see their French concepts come to life. I believe J'Adore was supposed to go into the Dexter Apartment retail spaces at first but City Club must've swooped in.

a major topping out in the clev!

 

wow — very cool.

 

sounds like they will be done by the end of the year, so yeeeaah, that means we are gonna need them to go ahead and announce tower two this fall.

     Thanks for asking that question@GREGinPARMA!   I’ve been wondering that same thing too!  It seems like whatever they’re doing with those panels, it’s taking forever!…lol.
    Just glad to see the top floor moving along now with something I can see from the construction cam!  Lookin’ great!

I love how much it stands out heading east along Euclid from Public Square.

I’m excited to see the rooftop lit up at night. I feel like it’s really going to draw your eyes upward. That’s how i felt last night after leaving a wedding in university circle. The artisans rooftop was all lit up and it really gave the area a completely different feel at night.

Certainly an angle that needed a fresh addition.

And still a two story tall “crown” to look forward to seeing 

 Very interesting to watch the top levels being built and what a complicated process it is!

I appreciate how this photo illustrates the trend toward a more aerial interpretation of what it means to live in Cleveland. Not a street in sight!

 

For example, when I showed my brother, who lives in Chicago, a photo of the view from one of the upper floor City Club apartments the other day, he said "where is that, New York?" When he learned it was Cleveland, his first response was - "huh. Looks like you should buy a condo downtown." 

 

Now we just need condos downtown! 

City Club’s turn for its national debut

Side note...I love when they share this angle of downtown. Really shows density. If only you could make out SW through the smoke. At least the City Club crane made it :) 

 

I love how a lot of you are willing to stand on dumpsters, hide in sewers and even drive to Akron in order to get different picture angles.  You all are the real MVPS.

Well that's a different view. Love how the buildings are squeezed in there.

Anyone know what that green rooftop structure is under construction on the opposite side of Euclid in that photo?

I may be wrong, but I think that’s the Rosetta complex. Good place to add a rooftop space.

Not only is this a great photo overall, but love the ability of being able to see the progress on the roof deck! 🥰

City Club Apartments (7-3-23)

City Club-ish ….since we don’t have much longer for this double crane view….

 

Any questions?…😜

Yeah, when do they get started on City Club II?

Euclid ave looks very dense.  Could be part of any major city.

This is a great project for Cleveland but I do not believe City Club II will happen any time soon given current economic realities.  In fact, a long planned City Club project containing an Urban Target in Detroit just lost its financing after a bank it has long done business with walked away from the project citing current conditions.  The company vows to continue on with the project and seek an alternative source of financing, but as we all know that is not an easy task.  I imagine much of the companies' energy is going to be focused on the Detroit project (its home town) and as well as just hunting for new financing sources in general.

"...we have achieved curvature" - possibly the first time those words have ever been strung together.

 

Although... it does sound plausible for a pregnant couple lol.

Can't wait to see if it will actually have a hole in the roof with a tree growing through it... that would be pretty unique. Especially for Cleveland 

Have a rooftop restaurant and call it Peyronie's.🤣

Shutting up now . . . . 

I hate to ask - Where is the water going to after it sits atop at the base of the curvature?

I would think there would be a drain at the lowest point of the curve that has a pipe connected to the building's drainage system. 

 

Lookin’ good! 😍  CURVATURE IN PROGRESSION!…😂

 

Edited July 17, 20231 yr by Larry

When that place is finished it should be really cool. Imagine the rooftop on a sunny afternoon packed with whatever the current version of hipsters are. All the cool kids hanging out around the pool and checking out the scene. We're going to need places like this downtown to give those people a reason to live here. 

 

City competition can be so brutal.

Should curve it up into a halfpipe and put a rock wall on the side. Cleveland X Games!

Can't wait to see this lit up at night
