Fixed that for you @KJP I kid you not, I watched a 50+ year old man do kartwheels down the side walk in front of Linda's, then double back and karate kick a grocery bag out of a woman's hands as she walked out.
June 7, 20223 yr Does anyone have the design mock-ups for the Jamestown building renovation? Would be curious to see what it entails. I’m also going to safely assume Linda’s is not part of this renovation… Based on what I’ve seen they’ve only ripping out the internals (which is kind of all it needed) The new tenant “The Splatter Loft” has already moved in and is open now through September on the second floor of the building

July 7, 20222 yr LOVE seeing this revitalization/use of a beautiful building on Lorain: "Imposters Theatre" being planned at 4828 Lorain Ave. Hoping to hear more about this! https://ca.permitcleveland.org/public/Cap/CapDetail.aspx?Module=BuildingHousing&TabName=BuildingHousing&capID1=22BHO&capID2=00000&capID3=08679&agencyCode=COC&IsToShowInspection=
July 8, 20222 yr Thought this was pretty cool, planned renovation of the brick building behind the WSM lots:
July 8, 20222 yr Renovation AND addition (see site plan). The mansard roof is strange though. It's just a partial cover of a rooftop deck. You can see it in the view from the opposite direction....

July 19, 20222 yr Great Lakes Brewing on the move By Ken Prendergast / July 19, 2022 A number of factors have come together to prompt the Great Lakes Brewing Co. to seek a relocation of its production facilities from its longtime location in the heart of Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood. Previously, the large craft beer brewer had considered expanding production to properties it acquired over the last four years along the Cuyahoga River on Scranton Peninsula in the Flats. Now it appears that it may move all of its production to the nearly 10-acre site.

July 19, 20222 yr FWIW. Great Lake’s sales growth of 2-3% a year is still well ahead of the US beer industry average of 1%. Although they do lag craft as a whole which is growing at 8%. Given their relative age and size though, they’re hardly a craft brewer nowadays. https://www.brewersassociation.org/statistics-and-data/national-beer-stats/ My hovercraft is full of eels
July 19, 20222 yr Quote The maximum building height allowed is 115 feet which equates to an 11-story residential building. Man when are they going to increase these height limits? How is 11 stories the max in the heart of Ohio City?

Yeah the ambiguity of the text is concerning and the huge lack of detail also concerning in my opinion. Could just be VERY early on but it seems projects that get developed have much more detail in the renderings/announcements messages. This looks like a 3D rendering that was thrown together.
July 26, 20222 yr If this is a serious project, I don't understand the point of that tweet. And why is it coming from a real estate broker rather than the developer itself or at least an equity partner? Perhaps Rico IS an equity partner here, like he is with Reallife on its The Pine proposal for Columbus Road in the Flats?

July 29, 20222 yr Was walking by today and although skeptical at first, I think these turned out pretty nice all things considered. I think the landscaping looks nice!
August 15, 20222 yr Harbor 44 sets new course in Ohio City By Ken Prendergast / August 15, 2022 With City Planning Commission approval behind it, the developer of Harbor 44 is ready to set sail on its next phases of the mixed-use development in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood. Local Development Partners, LLC (LDP) in 2021 completed phase one at the southeast corner of Lorain Avenue and West 44th Street, called Harbor Street before 1905.

August 15, 20222 yr Working overtime from Europe I see. Ah...the internet. As much as we hate it for its malign influences when used for actual info it sure is nice.
August 15, 20222 yr I pre-wrote a few articles before I left for Germany. I wrote two while I was here. On a train heading eastbound from Bremen right now. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
August 15, 20222 yr I looked up the street view while reading that since I wasn’t too familiar with that particular area of Ohio City. Wow what a huge difference these buildings will make. This city needs more of these infill projects.

I wonder what his plans would be. Expansion? New concept? I know the prior owner wanted to demo the building. Regardless, hopefully it can be preserved and James work toward preserving/amplifying this stretch of Lorian can be heightened.

I believe the building owner wanted to demo it and build new but the city wouldn’t issue a demo permit. That’s just hearsay tho.

September 14, 20222 yr Apparently citizen bank has had a fully set up bank branch for months on the corner of W28th and Detroit at 2615 Detroit ave but for some reason haven’t put a sign up or opened yet.

September 16, 20222 yr Awesome. And if I remember correctly from previous meetings on this property the past owner insisted it was unsalvageable.
October 14, 20222 yr Historic Vitrolite Building harnesses new future By Ken Prendergast / October 14, 2022 Restoration of the historic Vitrolite Building, 2915 Detroit Ave., in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood moved closer to reality yesterday when the city’s Landmarks Commission approved the project with a unanimous vote, along with a few conditions. The nearly century-old building with its unique terra cotta façade is on the National Register of Historic Places. But it has a new future with a new owner who will take it in a new direction.

October 18, 20222 yr Haven't seen anything posted about the "Lakeview Connects" project but I have heard a few things from local leaders in-the-know. Apparently, there are proposals to demo Lakeview Estates and replace it with new build apartments - with a section of the area being rebuilt for low-income residents. The long and the short of it is they plan to essentially remove the projects, altogether. Has anyone heard anything more? I also haven't seen anything about the development on the above-pictured lot on Clinton. I will try to join the virtual meeting (rescheduled due to the ALDS) and report back. Edited October 18, 20222 yr by BJBaes
October 18, 20222 yr Nothing additional, just heard the same talk about a month ago from someone that works for snavely Glad to see there’s some actual confirmation that’s public
