July 17, 2024Jul 17 This article says City Club has changed its name to Skyline 776, but on the City Vlub website there are no updates. Anyone know if there was a name change? https://www-cleveland19-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cleveland19.com/2024/07/16/more-people-are-moving-downtown-cleveland-apartment-buildings-say-theyre-ready/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&outputType=amp&usqp=mq331AQGsAEggAID#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=17212152079664&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cleveland19.com%2F2024%2F07%2F16%2Fmore-people-are-moving-downtown-cleveland-apartment-buildings-say-theyre-ready%2F

July 20, 2024Jul 20 A little info I received. Apparently, the company performing the exterior ACM panels had been installing them upside down. Supposedly a couple panels had fallen off exposing the problem. The contractor was let go. The delay was from trying to find a panel installer willing to correct the issue and finish the job. Just passing along what I was told. Cant verify if it’s true or not.
July 20, 2024Jul 20 If this is actually true, I wonder if this means they are going to have to go back and reinstall all the panels on the entire building. Obviously this could cost a fortune. If necessary, I imagine a lot of lawyers are going to be busy for a long time.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Just moved into the new space. Turns out the old management company was very difficult to work with and the investors pushed them out. New management takes over on the 1st. This helps explain the delays. Supposedly things will shape up very soon. The building will change its' name to "Skyline" The rooftop amenities should open in the fall with the pool ready in May.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 I'm always curious when l read that a paticular company is difficult to work with. Here you have a firm hired to lease apartments. They are working directly with the public. And they are so difficult to work with they have to be replaced. I understand there has to be some give and take in a litigious and complex society that is modern day America but still, if the idea is to lease out apartments shouldn't that be your first goal? Putting up roadblocks that protect the company and discourage leasing should come, at best second.

July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author City Club Apts has new owner, Skyline 776 name By Ken Prendergast / July 30, 2024 Faced with a difficult financial situation involving multiple development projects nationwide, City Club Apartments of Farmington Hills has sold its interest in the nearly completed 23-story mixed-use tower at 776 Euclid Ave. in Downtown Cleveland. The buyer was its primary financial backer, Detroit-based Finance Michigan. And, as a result of the change, the building will be rebranded as “Skyline 776.” MORE: https://neo-trans.blog/2024/07/30/city-club-apts-has-new-owner-skyline-776-name/ "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

Just passing along what I was told. Cant verify if it’s true or not. According to KJP’s article today, 7-30-24, the panels are OK, see paragraph from the article below! My thanks to KJP for the great article explaining pretty much everything ! “A time-consuming feature was the decorative tiles on the building’s exterior. They were custom-made and took more time to deliver. The top two full floors of the building have a curving façade which adds further complexity to the manufacture of the decorative tiles. Dickson said rumors that some of the tiles were installed incorrectly are untrue.”

There’s a less than 0% chance a construction manager is going to admit to a mistake like that to the press. Only reputational harm to gain by doing that. Jon Small would likely immediately can anyone who would do that. Also, the Cleveland Construction guy stated “we’re making great progress”. If being a year behind schedule is great progress, well……

August 6, 2024Aug 6 I’m out of town right now, but heard from someone downtown in this insane storm, that they saw a couple of panels fly off this building with one of them landing on a car. My hovercraft is full of eels

August 8, 2024Aug 8 You can only see two of the sides on the construction cam, but it looks like some of the black insulation came off from the top floors. None of the finished metal panels.
August 8, 2024Aug 8 FWIW, significant progress has been made in the week since new management on the interior common spaces and I hope, businesses coming soon. They're still advertising the same businesses as the prior management.
August 9, 2024Aug 9 So since there is new ownership, does that mean City Club II is now off the table?
August 9, 2024Aug 9 Maybe, but could also be that they had the goal of freeing up money to roll into their next investment. Quick sale of properties, even ones that aren't yet rent stabilized or even fully finished, does happen in the industry if the right deal presents itself. I worked on several where the developer was presented a deal that was worthwhile to take so they could invest elsewhere sooner and cash out of in progress work.

August 14, 2024Aug 14 Author Skyline 776 tower fills while under construction By Ken Prendergast / August 13, 2024 When you first walk into the lobby of the Skyline 776 tower, 776 Euclid Ave., you realize you’re not in your usual Downtown Cleveland apartment high-rise anymore. Of the 11 downtown apartment buildings of 20 stories or more that preceded it, each has varying degrees of luxury or lack of same. And most tried to either highlight the architectural era in which they were built, or simply present the most modern appearances possible.

Other than that, the building looks good.
