January 29, 20187 yr ^Cleveland made steel? Still waiting for those steel jobs to come back ;-) ^^Thanks for posting that pic. I walked past today and saw the elevator core is visible from Euclid.
January 29, 20187 yr Question for clefan98. Is there any structural steel on site yet? I have been asking that same question. They started construction in September and everytime someone asked when we will see steel rising everyone said things like soon or there is are so many other things to do first. Well, it is almost 5 months and still no one sees any structural steel rising. What's 5 months when we waited 13 years or so to get this thing started? It takes time to get the steel going in let alone see it rising. I mean this project officially started in September and you expected steel by October.
February 1, 20187 yr That just made it like two storeys taller... Cant wait to check it out when I drive down 77 today.
February 1, 20187 yr Some steel has been on the rise this morning! The E 6-Short Vincent corridors have so much potential. The best ''urban'' location in Cleveland, IMO. Would like to see that parking garage 1st-2nd levels converted to commercial-retail-restuarant-bar (just plop a couple decks on top to make up for lost space). The PNC side of Short Vincent (south) is awful though from Garfield Bldg to corner of E 9th, but there's the old Roxy space there (that replaced the original-notorious Roxy location), the north side of Vincent has better full-block potential. The south side of Vincent could use some streetscape to make up for its otherwise dreary gap as mentioned. This area could and should become another hub of downtown activity, all premised on old faithful dive bar Moriarity's staying in-place and intact. The Beacon is the building that will fully ''enclose'' this great area.
February 1, 20187 yr That just made it like two storeys taller... Cant wait to check it out when I drive down 77 today. This will really start climbing now. 2 floors at a time.
February 1, 20187 yr ^ it once was the hub of activity Downtown. :( Needs to come back to life and act as a prime hub and connector from Gateway to the Malls, then the pedestrian bridge to the lakefront. Walk from Gateway to either E 4th or 5th Street Arcades, then either E 6th or Old Arcade, to the Malls, vice-versa, indoor (amazing structures) or outdoor walking options.
February 1, 20187 yr I agree. A new streetscape along East 6th and Vincent could help to unify the area too. The parking garages need to be rebuilt or redesigned to accommodate retail uses. The 5/3 garage kills the whole vibe.
February 1, 20187 yr I agree. A new streetscape along East 6th and Vincent could help to unify the area too. The parking garages need to be rebuilt or redesigned to accommodate retail uses. The 5/3 garage kills the whole vibe. You could actually put commercial vendors in the little dugout along the garage in the summer months. Just temporary stands, but cool nonetheless. What we could do is close E.6th to traffic for select days and make it a destination.
February 1, 20187 yr When they filmed the last movie here and made streets look like NYC, they put up florists and fruit stands. That type of vending could work there. Small food carts Ala night market could work too.
February 14, 20187 yr You beat me to the punch :) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 14, 20187 yr This is nice to see. For anyone that that is a construction expert - Why is steel rising on half the building instead of evenly?
February 14, 20187 yr Check the renderings - the tower will only occupy the eastern portion of the garage. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 14, 20187 yr Check the renderings - the tower will only occupy the eastern portion of the garage. Hmmm ... the renderings I've seen seem to show that it occupies about 80% of the easternmost portion of the garage (extending westward to perhaps that glass O on the garage's top floor). This looks closer to taking up only about 50% of the Euclid frontage, so I'm a bit perplexed myself. :-)
February 15, 20187 yr The steel on the eastern face and corner looks thicker/different. Seems as if they still have to extend westward by two "bays". Just an observation.
February 15, 20187 yr I think the steel comes over a bit further, over to the top parking deck. You can see where that is in mrclifton's shot above.
February 15, 20187 yr Additional columns heading west have been placed today to quell rampant rumors on footprint size on UO...
February 15, 20187 yr Additional columns heading west have been placed today to quell rampant rumors on footprint size on UO... Girth enthusiasts will not be disappointed.
February 15, 20187 yr It all comes down to personal preference I guess, length or girth ;) Somethings up with Yabo lately....it is only 50 days till opening day. Maybe his mind will turn to baseball! :P
February 19, 20187 yr Additional columns heading west have been placed today to quell rampant rumors on footprint size on UO... Yes, steel is three stories above the garage as of today, and the frame is beginning to resemble the renderings. Those panicking without sourced information should enroll in a Construction Management class. Besides being an easy A second semester, senior year of engineering school, the course was very interesting in explaining all that factors into developing a design-build schedule for large scale projects.
March 7, 20187 yr Updated pics from today... looks like the full footprint is now up to the third floor.
March 7, 20187 yr I'm curious at to how they will do the lobby? What floor and where The residential lobby will be on Euclid where the main entrance is now. And the garage-only access will be on E.6th next to the driveway.
March 12, 20187 yr Next batch of structural steel going up :) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
March 12, 20187 yr Cranes in the air, and 30,000 tourists headed to town this weekend :) Sorry for the ignorance, but what's coming up this weekend in Cleveland?
March 13, 20187 yr Cranes in the air, and 30,000 tourists headed to town this weekend :) Sorry for the ignorance, but what's coming up this weekend in Cleveland? NCAA Division I National Wrestling Championship at the Q. Mar 15-17 Brings in out of towners.
March 13, 20187 yr Plus one of the country's biggest St. Patrick's Day parties "We each pay a fabulous price for our visions of paradise." - ????, ???????
March 13, 20187 yr I know this is the second push, and that we have somewhat just started to have some consistent upwards momentum, but does anyone have a guess at what the rate in days per floor would be. Additionally, if they construct this in three floors chunks, will that lead to quicker cladding process/one that will reveal how the cladding looks in person earlier (even though I assume that's still far off)? Don't know if these are difficult/redundant/premature questions, they're just some things I've been wondering about.

March 20, 20187 yr Steel sure is visible from 71, We have a head on view of it as well on the Innerbelt Bridge. It's going to cover up the majority of 5/3's building and some of the crown, but the color scheme will look great when it's finished!
March 20, 20187 yr I think we're going to be amazed how much this building and the PHS tower will alter the volume of our skyline.
