I can see University Circle being the location because I see it being like an Atlanta Midtown with high rises popping up everywhere, especially as they run out of lots to immediately build on. Edited December 10, 20213 yr by MyPhoneDead
December 10, 20213 yr Hopefully, this is the start of a building boom downtown. There are a few more parking lots I would like to see eliminated - 4th & Prospect, 8th & Prospect, 9th & Bolivar and the lots surrounding SHW, although I assume nothing will happen there until SHW construction is completed.

The building boom has been going on for a while now. It’s just getting better each time. Hilton hotel, Beacon, Lumen etc. this is so awesome. I love Cleveland
December 10, 20213 yr Congrats Cleveland on a great day - man, there’s going to be a tremendous energy downtown over the next couple years as City Club rises just a few blocks away from the huge SW HQ. Gonna be a lot of lights shimmering downtown. And even though City Club is not going to shatter the skyline - 23 stories is certainly a major presence and will contribute greatly to the urban fabric. I actually think this building will be absolutely transformative in the streetscape with its creative design and vibrant colors. I’m excited to watch City Club continue the Renaissance of Euclid. Especially given the recent additions of The Beacon and the Lumen - the grand Avenue is going to feel much more dynamic. Despite the international effect of the Pandemic, this is looking like a great period of development in Cleveland.
December 11, 20213 yr the city club ceo was speaking to me.... time for cleveland to break out of this beige and gray box..!! it starts with one splash of color... 🎉
December 11, 20213 yr Author City Club Apartments breaks ground for its first Cleveland project By Ken Prendergast / December 10, 2021 It wasn’t just the sound shovels hitting the dirt at the City Club Apartments’ groundbreaking ceremony today in downtown Cleveland that was heard. It was also the news that the Farmington Hills, MI developer and owner of multi-family and mixed-use properties was just getting started in establishing a presence in Cleveland. But no one overlooked the importance of the latest residential high-rise being added to Cleveland’s main street, least of all the man most responsible for it.

December 11, 20213 yr Author Before there was a parking lot, there was the second-largest theater in the USA (when the Hippodrome was built in 1907). And there was Krenzler's crime in 1981... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
December 11, 20213 yr I wonder if today, even with Kenzler's influence, the Hipp would be demolished. At least, I believe, there would be more of a fight. Look what Gilbert had to go through to build his casino garage even though he eventually won. Landmark spent Thursday debating a roof and solar panels on an Ohio City house for over an hour. I think today we, as a community, would put up a bigger fight, especially given the plan was for a parking garage and surface parking on Euclid. Also recall just yards away we lost the Williamson and Cuyahoga Buildings right around the same time. Even greater loses. Edited December 11, 20213 yr by Htsguy

I'm thinking after this boom we may be able to have achieved something more colorful, maybe akin to Philly with its historical skyline and more recent additions: Edited December 11, 20213 yr by Mov2Ohio
December 11, 20213 yr I think we're doing a pretty good job with lighting although a little more creativity would be appreciated. Let's get started on those bridges in the Flats now. But God yes. We NEED color added to the palette. This building has a chance to be a gamechanger if poor quality materials don't cheapen it. We'll have to wait for the finished product but if it's done right it will be an attention grabber and could spur other developers here to add color to their next project.
December 15, 20213 yr I know all eyes are on the SHW ceremony today, but work in earnest was scheduled to start here today as well. Is that still the case @KJP? My hovercraft is full of eels

December 16, 20213 yr ^ yeah, things like that no doubt. there is nothing at all unusual about gaps between ground breaking and getting started. 👍

Sherwin Williams would have had their ground breaking in November but actual construction started in the last 2 weeks.
