August 24, 20213 yr @misterjoshr, you guys have the incremental development game on lock. THIS is how you navigate zoning and building code barriers while still providing a great looking product. Does a rental townhome require fire suppression?
August 25, 20213 yr 22 hours ago, misterjoshr said: the units at the ends are ADA accessible on the first floor. Also keep in mind these are townhomes and not a multi-family building Ah, thanks. Attached townhomes are considered multi-family and it would apply. "In very limited circumstances, the Act exempts owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units, single-family houses sold or rented by the owner without the use of an agent, and housing operated by religious organizations and private clubs that limit occupancy to members."
August 25, 20213 yr thanks. I will certainly share this w/ the team charged with making sure we are code compliant on all of our projects. So far, they've nailed it, but I'll double check! Appreciate your help, Josh

September 17, 20213 yr New Tremont townhomes set for West 20th Street A project for new multifamily and single-family housing at West 20th Street and Smith Court received its final approval from the Cleveland Planning Commission. Horton Harper Architecture is the architecture firm working on the project. “We’re looking to match the townhouse code in every instance here,” Westleigh Harper, co-founder of Horton Harper Architecture, told the commission. Horton did not disclose construction costs during the meeting.

We complain all day for big towers downtown but no one talks about the immense amount of residential coming to fruition not only on the west side but now around University Circle. It's smaller projects like these that make a neighborhood.
September 24, 20213 yr That second pic really makes me wonder how long it will be before we see something proposed for that vacant swath at 25th and Columbus. Looks like all of the parcels are now owned by Kamis Properties LLC, with the largest parcel purchased in March of this year. Tax bills go to 12301 Sprecher Rd in Cleveland, which appears to be the location of Absolute Roofing.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been any planning to make the West 25th/Columbus intersection cover less area. If Columbus made turn into West 25th to have more of a right angle to it, it would be a lot easier and safer for pedestrians to cross and it would create more developable land to the southeast of the redesigned intersection.

September 29, 20213 yr Tremont Oaks II receives city approvals despite neighborhood concerns about short-term rentals Lee Chilcote - TheLand - Sep. 28, 2021 "The second phase of a micro-unit apartment project on West 14th St. in Tremont received approvals this week from the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals despite objections from neighbors over its use as a short-term rental through Airbnb. Although residents argued that Cleveland City Council should limit the development of short-term rentals in residential communities, the property was approved because it is commercial." Tremont Oaks II is on West 14th just north of the first phase of the development. The 2nd phase's design is very close to the 1st. Here is a picture of the initial building back in July.
September 29, 20213 yr Worst project in Cleveland. Design-wise, a complete joke for such a prominent location.

September 29, 20213 yr I don't particularly mind these. As someone who works in housing, I can say it's sometimes ridiculous the amount of complaints that come about when people want to use a private residence for short term rentals. The demand for them is clearly out there, and the business model is not going to go away. Having something like this to soak up that demand and pull it out of the more residential streets (and into a more central location where activities can hopefully be better monitored) seems like a better alternative to me.

October 1, 20213 yr Congrats to @misterjoshr and the Bialosky team When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
October 3, 20213 yr Does anyone know of planned development in the Clark Ave. / W. 11th area, near the Clark Field trailhead? The zoning was changed a few years back to multi-story apartments and retail.
November 10, 20213 yr Two Tremont markets fade in a rite of passage By Ken Prendergast / November 10, 2021 Tremont doesn’t have a grocery store but it does have tiny neighborhood markets. And two gritty members of that shrinking fraternity are about to fade into history. The demise of the Fairfield Food Market and the Abbey Market & Grocery are a rite of passage as Tremont continues its transition from a rough and tough neighborhood of Eastern European, African-American and Appalachian people who worked in the nearby mills and other Cleveland industries. Replacing them in the last few decades are a wide and gentrifying mix of young professionals, service workers and others who live in new or renovated townhomes and apartments.

December 2, 20213 yr Just left a tremont block club meeting. Unfortunately had to have early, but a developer was looking to put a 80-100 unit building on w11 near the pedestrian bridge. It's a very tight area street wise lots of questions on parking/public utilities apparently even current residents feel the city can't adequately provide things like garbage service it's so tight. We'll see how things progress the developers intentionally reached out early according to the presenter so lots can change.

You could put a black can in the middle of a parking lot with no traffic and the city couldn't adequately provide garbage service. If the City of Cleveland struggles with these kinds of basic services, maybe it's time to get rid of them all and start over. Hopefully a Bibb administration will figure out how to pick up these current and future residents' trash.

December 2, 20213 yr 2 minutes ago, FutureboyWonder said: As funny as this jab is the residents on the street specifically mentioned issues with trucks even being able to physically go down the street In all seriousness, there are much smaller streets nestled in cities all around the world. Somehow these locations all have trash service. It's a very Cleveland thing to say "it's not possible." I'm hoping this changes.
December 2, 20213 yr W. 11th isn't a particularly "tight" street. It is a dead end, which could be a problem. But not insurmountable.
December 2, 20213 yr 9 minutes ago, X said: W. 11th isn't a particularly "tight" street. It is a dead end, which could be a problem. But not insurmountable. Ya. I walked up it a week ago, that street isn't very tight at all on that side and even has a semi turn around at the pedestrian bridge. Though, I'm assuming we are talking about the south side of the highway.
December 2, 20213 yr I'm assuming that as well as there is nowhere to put an 80 unit apt building on the north side of the pedestrian bridge.

December 19, 20213 yr This thing seems to be going up like lightening, just like Intro. More Chicago developers please.
December 19, 20213 yr They also seem to be able to find the financing for some big projects without a lot of drama. But not all Chicago developers are as fast as lightning. Stoneleigh's Waterford Bluffs on Lorain at West 19th seems to be taking longer than projects by the Cleveland developers.

January 4, 20223 yr Sculptor strikes deal to buy Sokolowski's University Inn property in Tremont A sculptor with deep ties to Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood is the would-be buyer of Sokolowski's University Inn, a beloved restaurant that has been sitting dark since early 2020.

"It's something that's going to be unique and special, for sure," he said. "But I'm not exactly sure yet.""
January 31, 20223 yr Some Treo updates. I really like how there's a service/garage entrance on the underside that can accessed from Swift ave.
January 31, 20223 yr In alternative masterplans for the area Filmore (the avenue that goes under the bridge) would hook up with W20th for an additional link. Edited January 31, 20223 yr by w28th
January 31, 20223 yr I know this should probably go in the Duck Island thread but since it is nearby to Treo...any one know what is going on with The Pearl? Are they still trying to get the blessings of the block clubs before submitting it to the city?
