April 5Apr 5 I really like the rendering and am excited to see it in person. Given the projected start date for construction is in October I do hope nothing derails it. The mentioning of the metro health brt leaves me wondering if federal funds aren't awarded to the rta does that make it dead in the water? Especially since this development specifically mentions it as a catalyst I'd really hate to see the brt fall apart now after years of planning. Edited April 5Apr 5 by FutureboyWonder

April 5Apr 5 Nice Article Ken. I’m skeptical about this working on paper and getting off the ground. Not exactly a desirable location with it fronting I-90.
April 5Apr 5 That’s a nice looking building, showing that you don’t need 7 different claddings to make a building appealing. (cough cough geis….)
April 5Apr 5 Maybe the city needs to tweak the criteria for applying the 100% tax abatement to a finer level. Just because parts of a "neighborhood" are hot, doesn't mean that there aren't less developable areas within it.

I believe it’s already done by census tract, which is about the most granular you can get at this point.
April 25Apr 25 The Vega Avenue Studio Lofts received final approval from todays (4-25-25) Planning Commission Meeting. Sounded like they were planning for a September start.
April 25Apr 25 Author Looking forward to writing about that when I share the Joy Court plans. Soon.😉 "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 26Apr 26 Kick ass! The rendering shows a lot of promise, though I do hope it's a little more matte and not as glossy but I'll survive. Coming off barber you really feel like you're coming out of a nice area into something really needing some TLC so this is great to see moving forward
April 29Apr 29 Author Joy Court-Old Mill Street development gets first winBy Ken Prendergast / April 29, 2025There’s been lots of new housing units planned lately for the Barber-Vega-Queen (BVQ) District at the north end of Cleveland’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood. But none is as large as the project that just won support from the city’s Near West Design Review Committee.MORE:https://neo-trans.blog/2025/04/29/joy-court-old-mill-street-development-gets-first-win/ "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 29Apr 29 Looks good to me. I like the mix of apartments and for-sale townhomes. Seems like this developer "gets it" and hopefully this project is a success.
May 12May 12 Author Wrong thread. This is in Tremont. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
Yesterday at 12:36 PM1 day Author It's in neither. It's actually in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood, but I created this thread as a carve-out because it's kind of in a no-man's land in between three neighborhoods -- Clark-Fulton, Ohio City and Tremont.
