March 6, 201510 yr ^That's a back alley multi-family and it's been there for as long as I can remember. Likely just some new skin on old bones. EDIT - Zillow lists it as being built in 1870. Not so sure about that, but it's safe to say it wasn't built within the last 25 years. Really? The one on the right hand side of the pic (that is the one I was referencing not the one on the left).
March 6, 201510 yr ^Yes. That house is on Crawford Ct off of Thurman Ave. It's not on 7th. You can only see it from 7th because there's an empty lot next to this new construction.

April 10, 201510 yr Not cheap: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/S-l-2-Fairfield-Ave-Cleveland-OH-44113/2102716137_zpid/ Wow! If those sell, we have arrived... They start at 270...much more affordable price point. There are multiple townhouses that have sold in the mid 350's in Tremont. Right right, I'm assuming the 270k is for the smaller units abutting the house and 479,900k for the larger units fronting the street. Agreed 270k is becoming somewhat routine for new con in Tremont but 480k is definitely at the upper upper end of the established market there - so high that it is testing the limits of the upper echelon. 270k is still high for an attached unit with "meh" views. Regardless, fingers crossed these sell for the list price.
April 24, 201510 yr If folks are interested...Wagner Awning got Landmarks approval for our plans yesterday. You can follow the progress here for now: https://www.facebook.com/wagnerawningbuilding?ref=hl We hope to start construction by late July or August.
April 24, 201510 yr ^Congrats!! I love that you guys are taking the leap to these less established transitional areas of Tremont. And your product is amazing to boot. The creamery is an awesome space. Any chance you guys could snap up a couple of the warehouses over in Asiatown to kick start development on the near east side?

June 4, 201510 yr New townhomes in Tremont near Auburn and West 14th, tucked behind the buildings. I remember something posted months ago related to these parcels -- maybe variance requests? But here are the first actual pictures. 4 story townhomes with single car garage and tons of surface parking. I hope you like gray. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/drcagenda/2015/06052015/index.php
June 4, 201510 yr Demo starting on the old gas station at Fairfield and West 10th where Tremont Black will go.
June 4, 201510 yr ^ Awesome. I was just walking by there a couple days ago to Southside wondering when they would start demolition.
June 4, 201510 yr ^^^ While I'm glad to see new construction this is one of those times that I would have taken a tan colored building over this, and this also look very suburban IMO.
June 4, 201510 yr Most of that parking is already there. I would be surprised if there is a net increase at all.
June 4, 201510 yr Love to see the infill. More residents, more spending power. And given the tucked away site, the stakes are pretty low for the design quality.
June 5, 201510 yr The north half of Tremont is squeezing development into every nook and cranny. That's a sign of a strong neighborhood. While it's a pretty visible site, overlooking I-490, but also a noisy one. Considering that, if it sells at a good price, it's another sign of strength. Will it spread to surrounding neighborhoods or will there be pressure to densify Tremont with new vertical structures? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 5, 201510 yr I don't see central Tremont (aka the area within a 10 minute walk of Literary and Professor) getting much higher density for the time being, but I think the areas adjacent to northeast Tremont (south of Clark, west of the Innerbelt) are definitely seeing an uptick in rehabs. Then you have Duck Island which has new townhomes selling north of $400K - can't say I would have imagined that a few years ago. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
June 19, 20159 yr They'll be future slums, then the yuppies of the 2120's will become enthralled with their historic 21st century architecture, snap them up for cheap, and renovate them. You know, I don't understand this. I think that the JRoc project at 10th and Fairfield is awesome. That whole "point" (or "pointe" if you will) of Tremont is an awesome place for denser development. I like the dense condo concept a lot better than other high-density project types (especially no building blocks in Tremont). Maybe the empty nesters of 2120's will be moving out of those gargantuan 3,000 sf townhomes that they don't want to maintain anymore, with their historic features...like massive setbacks.

July 26, 20159 yr The interesting thing is that the mobile pods are basically the same as the top photo on this page.

August 4, 20159 yr Just when I thought they couldn't squeeze any more into Tremont...... We want density, right? :wink:
August 5, 20159 yr There will be little projects like this all over Tremont over the next few year -- 2 and 3 cluster townhouses stuffed into combined parcels. The largest undeveloped area that isn't already parking is on West 6th just south of Literary. A bunch of semi continuous parcels owned by 2 different LLC's.
August 5, 20159 yr Demo starting on the remaining house on the Tremont Black site. Tremont black site? I didn't know the CIA had a presence in Cleveland!;)
September 1, 20159 yr I'm sure the plans for this are on here, but I was quite surprised to see it when passing through last week. DSCN7179 by Scott Muscatello, on Flickr
September 1, 20159 yr ^It's looked like that for about a year now it seems... Yep. There has been a lot of progress inside though. From October last year: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,1699.msg731005.html#msg731005 In other news -- 4 more townhomes at the corner of West 7th and University Ct. There is a vacant lot at the corner and two-family next to it. Both would be replaced with 2 townhomes fronting West 7th and 2 more behind it. A single driveway off University Ct for rear-entry garages. The site plan is similar to Tremont Black, except half the units.
October 2, 20159 yr Constantino's might be opening up in Tremont. I love the idea of having a grocery within walking distance, but not overly fond of the location they chose. I understand there aren't many options in Tremont. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/10/constantinos_market_may_be_hea.html Constantino's Market may be headed to Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood to wipe out the 'food desert' there CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood has received a $742,000 federal grant that city officials hope will bring a Constantino's Market into an empty mansion at West 14th Street and Fairfield Avenue. The nonprofit Tremont West Development Corp. plans to use the money to convert the structure into a full-service Constantino's, the family-owned retailer's fifth grocery store. The project is expected to employ 30 full-time workers.
October 2, 20159 yr ^Yeah, I hear you. It's not exactly the center of a dense walking radius. Just seemed like a way to funnel federal funding from a poorly designed program into the neighborhood, I guess, which is fine. None of the coverage I've seen has been very specific. Anyone know if this is going in the old Olney Gallery houses/buildings?
October 2, 20159 yr Wow, what an awful location. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 2, 20159 yr Location seems OK to me. W 14th is an artery and home to the majority of Tremont's apartment stock.
October 2, 20159 yr ^ That might have been true at some point but there are only a few large apartment buildings along 14th now and they are all south of the proposed location, which is bounded by a busy road, hospital, and highway entrance ramp to the north and west. A store as small as this likely will be will depend on daily walk up shoppers. Putting it at the edge of Tremont seems like a poor idea.
October 2, 20159 yr None of the coverage I've seen has been very specific. Anyone know if this is going in the old Olney Gallery houses/buildings? Yes. I think they could do well even though the location is on the edge of the neighborhood, but they'll need to find their niche. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 7, 20159 yr There's a lot being planned on Scranton these days so being at this location could end up being closer to the "center" of Tremont than one may think.
October 7, 20159 yr There's a lot being planned on Scranton these days so being at this location could end up being closer to the "center" of Tremont than one may think.

November 12, 20159 yr Very cool. 455 isn't really that small either as long as there is a small storage space.
November 16, 20159 yr Interesting news from the results of the state historic tax preservation winner announcement: Our Lady of Mercy in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood. MCM Companies of Cleveland is remaking the vacant church, school and rectory complex on West 11th Street as offices. The $5.1 million project won just over $1 million in tax credits. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/06/garfield_building_apartments_t.html Given how hot the residential market is in Tremont, I'm somewhat surprised this will be an office project, but should make for some very cool offices. http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad261/pwmcleveland/baa/photo249_zpsd2bd02a4.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad261/pwmcleveland/baa/photo262_zps07928f8b.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad261/pwmcleveland/baa/photo247_zpsf88bf8cf.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad261/pwmcleveland/baa/photo288_zpsdafd07d2.jpg Historic Tremont religious campus reborn as an urban business complex ERIN O'BRIEN | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2015 In 2013, Melissa Ferchill, founder and owner of MCM Company purchased the Our Lady of Mercy (OLM) church complex, 2425 West 11th St. in Tremont. The move, however, was sparked by Ferchill's husband Nick Swingos, owner of Hermes Sports and Events, who was looking to relocate that company from its former St. Clair Avenue space. Ferchill recalls when Swingos asked her, "Would you guys have any interest in moving with us?" and the search began. "We started looking in Downtown and Midtown," says Ferchill. "We made offers on a couple other church properties, but we couldn't make deals." Then they learned about the shuttered OLM complex. "It just kind of fit," says Ferchill.
