March 5, 200817 yr What happened? Did the camera fall, or get iced over? Neither. Frank Gehry got his hands on it over the weekend.
March 5, 200817 yr ^I think map boy tried to take a picture and fell down on the side walk....just my thought.
March 5, 200817 yr w28th finally got his way ;-) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
March 30, 200817 yr i cant tell by the webcam but is the second building attached to the first tower starting to be erected?
March 30, 200817 yr ^I can't really see either, but my guess is that they are also working on the interior parking garage. I ran by the site today and they had a second massive and temporary crane on site. I'm wondering if they were hoisting the A/C structure on to the roof.
March 30, 200817 yr in the plain dealer yesterday in the realestate section there was an advertisement for the avenue district that stated there were only 2 townhomes available in the first building is this true? Is demand that high?
March 30, 200817 yr I was at the site yesterday taking photos for Zaremba and yes, it sounds like the townhomes are selling quite well. The "second" crane for the 1211 St. Clair building was used to dismantle the tower crane. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
March 31, 200817 yr These townhouses appear to be very popular. I somehow, get the feeling they might mushroom into something larger (ie. more townhomes or other developers building townhomes nearby) than originally planned. There seems to be demand. Could they grow organically like Stonebridge? Hummmm??
March 31, 200817 yr ^it would be nice. The fact that the City owned all of the surface lots on which the Avenue District is being built is a big help to the developer. It wouldn't be as easy to build on surrounding lots. However, the AD is setting a precedent..
March 31, 200817 yr I would love to see some retail (little bodegas, carry-out food, coffee shops) mixed in with these, especially on the ground floors. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 1, 200817 yr Looks like things are moving alone nicely. Can't wait to see the progress over Memorial Day weekend.
April 2, 200817 yr I went to the Indians home opener and drove past the 1211 St Clair building. I also parked on the roof of the Eaton Center garage which had a great view of the building. This building is looking just like the renderings. Of this building, the Pinnacle, and the two Stonebridge mid rises, this is going to be the best designed of the bunch. I am very impressed with the design. I can't wait for construction of the other phases especially along East 12th and St Clair. Does anyone know the construction timetable for these?
April 2, 200817 yr Nothing has been announced yet for the next phases, at least that I recall. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 4, 200817 yr Has anyone else noticed that they are demolishing the large warehouse that sits adjacent to the townhomes? Is this another phase of the Avenue District project or something else entirely? This makes me somewhat unhappy. I always envisioned the building as being rehabbed into something cool.... I apologize, I meant to take a photo of this from my balcony and upload it, as I have a good eyes view, but alas I forgot in my haste to make it in to work. I've highlighted below the building I'm referencing in red....
April 4, 200817 yr I noticed, but it looked like maybe only the western end of the building was going to be demolished. The eastern half of the building looked like it was occupied.
April 4, 200817 yr ah-ha http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,10547.0.html i wonder if this is what's happening???
April 4, 200817 yr cool..it sounds as though they are running 2-3 months behind schedule....at least based upon the initial timeline

I apologize, I meant to take a photo of this from my balcony and upload it, as I have a good eyes view, but alas I forgot in my haste to make it in to work. I've highlighted below the building I'm referencing in red.... From what I've seen so far, it looks like they are tearning down the small, 60s-esque addition to that large warehouse. I'm hoping that is all that they're tearing down. I think that we would have heard something regarding this project if they were moving forward with tenants. Let's hope this is a sign that a re-use of the larger building is not far away.
April 4, 200817 yr I suspect the demolition is for this project (ie: don't worry, be happy): http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,10547.msg127745.html#msg127745 "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 4, 200817 yr cool..it sounds as though they are running 2-3 months behind schedule....at least based upon the initial timeline Putting a 2-3 month delay into perspective kind of makes it seem ahead of schedule.
April 4, 200817 yr Good news: Demo to continue through the rest of this month on the 4 story building that extends about to about mid block (just past the completed townhomes across the street. Bad news: The land will be used as . . . surface parking (an office building is planned for a later phase).
April 4, 200817 yr Looking good. It's like our Jeffrey Place...except it's Downtown and more than two buildings have been built in 6 or so years. :x It looks like I'll be visitng Cleveland with my brother on May 31st, so I'll definitely want to check this out.
April 7, 200817 yr Anyone else getting a login needed to view the webcam?? http://www.theavenuedistrict.com/newlayout/
April 11, 200817 yr they are really starting to make some nice progress with that brick work... i can't wait for the scaffolding to start coming down... thanks for the pics!
April 11, 200817 yr anybody have a drawing or example of what wet pods and closet pods look like in action?
April 11, 200817 yr In picture two the structure that is coming out the ground, is that the parking garage or the second residential building?
April 11, 200817 yr 1. Scalfolding comes down next week. Stay tuned 2. Structure on Block One: Parking Garage and foundation for 2nd building. 2nd Building is not up for sale yet...but will be soon...
April 11, 200817 yr ^^Parking deck... the live work townhomes will be just to the east of that, and the other side will be faced by (and the foundation of) the new building on 12th street... you can kind of see this from the site plan at the top of this page. 1. Scalfolding comes down next week. Stay tuned :clap:
April 11, 200817 yr 1. Scalfolding comes down next week. Stay tuned 2. Structure on Block One: Parking Garage and foundation for 2nd building. 2nd Building is not up for sale yet...but will be soon... What are the presale numbers for the townhomes and the lofts?
April 16, 200817 yr I have no idea about presale numbers, but I can ask at our townhouse electrical walk-through next week (that's right - the townhouses will be lit-up starting next week :)). The townhomes currently under construction are supposed to be finished in July. Anything else anyone wants me to ask about?
April 16, 200817 yr I suspect the question was posed to the Zaremba/Avenue District people who regularly visit/post here. Unless they answer first, feel free to ask/share the answer with us next week.

April 17, 200817 yr Check it out. They're taking down the scaffolding! :clap: http://www.theavenuedistrict.com/newlayout/webcam.asp
April 17, 200817 yr It's not like you don't have an excuse to get out -- It's freakin' gorgeous out there! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 17, 200817 yr LOL. Well, it's a long walk from Milwaukee to downtown Cleveland, and I honestly don't like to drive when I can avoid it.
April 17, 200817 yr ^Perhaps someone with a good camera could snap some pictures later? Mayday? What?!? Why me?!? Why?!? Do you think I'm going to take time out of my day to snap some shots?!?!? ;-) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
April 17, 200817 yr I've been waiting for this post all day :lol: i wonder why they went with the storage cubby hole instead of the storage closet on the balconies? Looks great though...
April 17, 200817 yr Bricks! We've got bricks! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 17, 200817 yr Nice, I thought the bricks would be a lil darker. But I can't critique, since I don't live there. Gooooooooo Avenue District!
April 17, 200817 yr What?!? Why me?!? Why?!? Do you think I'm going to take time out of my day to snap some shots?!?!? ;-) Just a matter of respect. You take good pictures...and you're about 500 miles closer to the building than I am. :-D
April 18, 200817 yr Some photos from today ... including a few from the top of the Firestone garage, a view I hadn't tried before ...
