I caught this article in the plain dealer today, the article gives a nice descriptor of it but the pictures make it so much more of an interesting article. The pics are really what high urban living is all about, and should be somthing that ~should~ attract more people to this way of life. I can wait to see it appear on TV sometime soon.

If replacing the tiny industrial win dows hadn't been feasible, the whole renovation project and move from a traditional home in Shaker Heights would have been cancelled, said Rick Maron, developer and proud owner, along with his wife, Judy, of one of Cleveland's most unique residences -- the entire 16th floor of the Guardian Building (also known as the National City Bank building) at 629 Euclid Ave. The building itself, which dates to 1895 and reportedly was the first steel-constructed high rise in Cleveland, is now a Holiday Inn Express, a $12 million project handled by Rick Maron's company, MRN Ltd.

rezoned is actually a pretty good show on HGTV.  They actually dig up all kinds of details about buildings and give a good history of the "property" they are showcasing.
