Didn't hear a peep about this project, which the web site says is "on hold." The image appears to show it just south of the building at West 3rd and Lakeside, across from the Justice Center. Don't know who the developer is/was....

WEST THIRD STREET PARKING GARAGE

 

West Third Street

Cleveland, Ohio

 

The project consists of a five-story, 406 space parking structure with retail space on the first floor street front. Located on West 3 rd Street in the Historic Warehouse District, the project would not only provide for much needed parking but also fill one of the many “Missing Teeth” in the area which were created over the years. The proportions and scale of the facades on the streetfront of West 3rd relate to the vernacular of the multi-use former warehouse buildings of the neighborhood. To further integrate with the streetscape, the first floor of the garage accommodates four bays of small scale retail shops. The project was designed, construction documents completed and bids were received prior to being placed on hold.

YAY!!! FILL!!!  Is that ground retail I see?!  I wish the actual design was a bit more intriguing than this illustration...

I wonder when that was approved by the City. Interesting.

Do you think this was part of the old Double Tree Hotel project?

^No, this garage would go between the Marion Building (Karl's Inn of the Barristers) and Lakeside Place (southwest corner of Lakeside and West 3rd). The DoubleTree hotel was to go on the county-owned parking lot on the north side of Lakeside (across from West 4th) butt-up against the Shoreway.

A high density, indoor parking structure with street retail on the sidewalk that would, also, fill in one of those maddening 'gaps' in the WHD?  Sounds like an all-around winner to me.

Agreed sounds like a quality project...as quality as you can get from a parking structure that is.

So why is it on hold?

When was it proposed in the first place?

if you're going to have a parking structure, might as well have it fill an entire gap, and have street level retail. I'll take it.

If the block sizes give room, I'd prefer to see parking garages "wrapped" like The Avenue District or like CC's new garages.  But at least street level retail ups the bar a little from a standard garage.

The property owner is Weston Property Investments -- one of Tony Asher's companies. Yep, the same guy who's redeveloping Tyler Village and partnering with Stark for the rest of the WHD.

wow i hope tht gets revived and built, its a great fit.

 

i wonder why they got all that way along and then didn't build it? thats a shame -- hopefully its just a delay.

 

Why is this in the Completed Projects thread?

This is the Abandoned Projects subsection.

Ah, I see.  My bad.
