Hi, if this is your project or a project your involved in can you please get the construction crew to put up a protected pedestrian walk way on the east side of East 9th st. Forcing people to walk in the street is super unsafe.

October 20, 20231 yr A few to start. Thanks again to @zbaris87for the tour! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 20, 20231 yr Great pics, @MayDay! And echoing that, thanks again to @zbaris87. Here are a few more shots - the units really are so cool / unique, with lots of different layouts. All have very nice finishes! This will be a great new residential community Downtown.
October 20, 20231 yr Truly one of the most underrated buildings in Downton Cleveland. I am glad to see new life to it.

October 21, 20231 yr I tell you what, those particular lake views really separate this building from a lot of the other downtown conversions.
October 21, 20231 yr Author The Bell to ring people home in 2024 By Ken Prendergast / October 21, 2023 At first, construction work at The Bell has a familiar ring to it. But this isn’t the usual conversion of a zombie office building in downtown Cleveland into residential or hotel uses. Instead, conversion of the former Ohio Bell Company headquarters, ongoing since July 2022, has been a different calling. What were once large, wide-open floors at the 16-story, 40-year-old office building have since been divided up into an average of 31 apartments per floor in the residential portions of the building at the southeast corner of Lakeside Avenue and East 9th Street.

October 21, 20231 yr It looks like the wall art sculpture is still there in the lobby, which I am happy about! Does anyone know if Bell/AT&T still own it? Ohio Bell probably commissioned it. I stated in a earlier post Willis Tower lost a large colorful whirlygig sculpture similar to this not so long ago after a lawsuit by Sears Holdings.
April 26, 20241 yr Guys, we are going to be wrapping up construction in the next few weeks on the project. If anyone wants a tour of the building, please let me know. More than happy to schedule something in the next few weeks

April 26, 20241 yr Unfortunately, the developer nixed a few tenants that were lined up for the building, not sure why though. Also, still hasn't started pre-leasing for some reason. I'm only on the construction team

June 18, 2024Jun 18 Author Tough times in a great economy... Ownership stake in The Bell to be auctioned off By Ken Prendergast / June 18, 2024 With a certificate of occupancy in hand and leasing to start in two weeks, The Bell, 45 E. 9th St. in Downtown Cleveland, will be the subject of an online auction scheduled for next month. The auction is intended to make available a portion of the interest in a general partnership that owns the office-turned-residential building.

June 18, 2024Jun 18 Great economy? Sarcasm I presume. I am surprised to see this as the building was almost done. Wow.

No, the economy is booming with jobs and incomes rising faster than inflation.

June 19, 2024Jun 19 Author And The Bell is the only one of these properties that's gotten within a whisker of opening. And it will, but under somebody else's ownership. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 19, 2024Jun 19 Author Although the auction offering was titled as a foreclosure, the managing member of the partnership assured me it was not. So I reworded the piece.

The many Real Deal articles, as well as @KJP‘s work, make that abundantly clear Has Kenny Wolfe pivoted into a pitfall? “The fallout happened so fast, you might think you’re reading the dates wrong. In April 2023, Kenny Wolfe bought a blue-hued office building in downtown Dallas to redevelop it into high-end apartments. Wolfe announced the plans for 211 North Ervay in a now-unavailable YouTube video, a move Dallas Culture Mapstamped as “so very 2023.” A more appropriate characterization might have been “so very syndicator.”” More: https://therealdeal.com/magazine/april-2024/has-kenny-wolfe-pivoted-into-a-pitfall/ Hopefully with this project being basically move-in ready, it’ll be a small footnote for the trajectory of the redevelopment.
June 19, 2024Jun 19 The Economy isn't the issue here. Kenny Wolfe, and only Kenny Wolfe are the problem. I worked on the construction team for this project, and let me tell you... The development team with Wolfe Investments and Bluelofts running the show was a complete s**t show.
