May 30, 20205 yr My last 8 years at the clinic I had an office in the S building. It is exactly what you would expect - an obsolete structure. The only sort of interesting thing from my perspective was how the S and T buildings were cobbled together. The floors didn't match in height and they are connected by a maze of hallways. The T building had a pretty cool old lobby that looked straight out of a 1940's movie. Grand but shabby.
June 1, 20205 yr Fencing, earth-moving equipment, and a construction trailer are all on site on Cedar Road between 97th and 100th Streets. This is the home of the future Clinic Biorepository Center, and the project I s underway!
June 22, 20204 yr Surveyors were out on Friday and Saturday on my least favorite lot on the main campus.
June 22, 20204 yr That's cool to see. Follows news that I posted back in early March: https://neo-trans.blogspot.com/2020/03/cleveland-clinic-fairfax-seek-homes-biz.html "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

August 5, 20204 yr ^Yeah, its a great resource. I don't know of any other site that lists all active projects like that in a single list. Also, their page about Cleveland is great and I often use it when sending people info on Cleveland. I had looked for months for a good site that describes Cleveland without making it small or with statements like "second largest city in Ohio" or citing official MSA numbers that actually aren't accurate as they exclude Cleveland suburbs in Summit and Portage counties.

August 6, 20204 yr WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2020 Clinic razing historic ORCA House with 'no plans' for the site Demolition crews hired by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation appeared this week along Chester Avenue between East 89th and 90th streets to begin tearing down three solid structures with a long history of charitable service in the city. The structures -- including two historic, converted houses -- were part of the ORCA House's rehabilitation center for adults suffering from addictions. The demolitions appeared to be a rush job, even though a Cleveland Clinic spokesperson said the large health care system has no plans for developing the property.

August 6, 20204 yr Demolition fever again, eh? Hasn’t the clinic had their eyes on that Property for some time now?
August 6, 20204 yr Are there any city zoning requirements for the redevelopment of property following removal or demolition of functional buildings? Or is it simply -whoever owns it can tear it down?
August 6, 20204 yr That's so unfortunate. I've loved passing by that house and admired what a beautiful piece of Cleveland history it was. I always wondered why it was in disrepair though. Now knowing it was owned by the Clinic, my questions are answered. Thanks for the tidbit in the story on the apartment being rehabbed on E90th. From the photos online (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1934-E-90th-St_Cleveland_OH_44106_M94267-73047) she did a very nice job on the rehab. It's nice to see these little under-the-radar type projects going on. Sad the building is going to be looking so lonely on that block now though.
August 6, 20204 yr Obviously not a stunning revelation but let's face it, the Clinic can pretty much do anything it wants in this town.

August 10, 20204 yr Some of those pictures may be of the ORCA House, but several of them are clearly some other set of buildings.
August 10, 20204 yr 2020 and yet still another clinic teardown shame? ugh. the roof looks to be in impressive shape. seems like it could have hung around longer. i hope they have speedy redevelopment plans for that site.

September 21, 20204 yr While not in University Circle, here is the August 27th update: Cleveland Clinic London Celebrates Important Milestone with ‘Topping Out’ Ceremony "The combined project team is making positive progress towards a revised completion date of the building work in September 2021. The hospital at 33 Grosvenor Place, London is expected to open in early 2022." Opening date pushed back from "spring 2021." The eight-story, 324,000-square-foot building will have 184 inpatient beds and eight operating rooms, and many other specialties. To bring this post back to University Circle: The Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center is a 377,000-square-foot building that has 126 exam rooms, 98 infusion rooms, and many other therapy areas. The new Cleveland Clinic Main Campus Neurological Institute is proposed to be a 400,000-square-foot building. Until I just compared these 3 hospitals, I didn't realize how big that was.

September 21, 20204 yr New new bioreposirotry as seen this weekend. Is it larger than the 2 storey McDonald's in Independence? Edited September 21, 20204 yr by originaljbw grammar

Drove by this the other day and stopped to take a pic curbside, but couldn't find the right perspective, and I was in a hurry. Originaljbw's pic is perfect, though. Basically, it's just another shoebox on Cedar Road that "complements" the IBM and Cardiovascular Institute boxes just to the east. At least they're right up at street level, I guess. But I can kinda see why Fairfax neighborhood rep's have been giving the Clinic a hard time recently. And yes, this building is much smaller than I anticipated when the project was announced. For a "one of its kind" sort of thing, I thought it would be not only bigger but more distinct as well. Oh well...

September 22, 20204 yr 12 hours ago, WhatUp said: I wish their buildings here in CLE looked this nice!! I’m sure it has to do with London building codes, and if so, CLE should push them to have better designs. Don’t get me wrong, they shouldn’t stop them from building, but encourage them to build nicer buildings. That London building is a beaut!
September 22, 20204 yr ^ The London building faces Buckingham Palace grounds - basically the Clinic bought an existing office building, preserved the facade and built a whole new building within those facade walls.https://www.plparchitecture.com/33-grosvenor-place.html
January 25, 20214 yr I'm note quite sure of the context or if this is even the proper thread. Can someone provide the cliff notes of this article from Crain's Cleveland? Cleveland Clinic project expected to create 1,000 R&D jobs, lands state tax credits By Michelle Jarboe On Monday, Jan. 25, the Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a five-year job creation tax credit for the Cleveland Clinic Foundation — an unusual move because the board typically focuses on corporate expansions. The vote came as state officials were preparing to announce the creation of the Cleveland Innovation District, a partnership involving Cleveland's three major hospital systems and two universities. https://www.crainscleveland.com/health-care/cleveland-clinic-project-expected-create-1000-rd-jobs-lands-state-tax-credits Edited January 25, 20214 yr by MuRrAy HiLL
January 25, 20214 yr It's a very short article as not many details are known, including locations of potential development/construction. I'll try to find out what I can. This is certainly the right thread to discuss development/construction impacts of this. I've also posted the article in the Cleveland Economy thread to discuss the jobs impacts there. This is big news! EDIT: here's the key paragraph (for scale/comparison, $300 million is equivalent to what Sherwin-Williams expects to invest in each of its HQ and R&D facilities).... The 2.58% credit, tied to new payroll, will support "non-clinical" jobs paying an average of $100,000 a year, Matt Deptola, a senior project manager with statewide economic development corporation JobsOhio, told the board. The project also will involve an anticipated $300 million investment in building construction and equipment, he said during the public meeting.

January 25, 20214 yr While the details are sketchy this appears to be GREAT news. As a retired Clinic researcher I know firsthand the value of our medical institutions. They possess an international reputation and are our most powerful calling card. Other than the orchestra and possibly the art museum our reputation outside Cleveland is rather non-descript. But our medical institutions carry real weight and as such should be the focus of our investment. This news is exactly where we should be going. Smart cities identify their strengths and leverage accordingly.

That's 2.5 million dollars a year in income tax to the city alone not to mention all the indirect economic impact of having people with these incomes here.
January 25, 20214 yr I'm hoping the $300 million in new construction is not just the already-announced, but not-yet-begun neurological and eye clinic buildings. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
January 25, 20214 yr 13 minutes ago, Dougal said: I'm hoping the $300 million in new construction is not just the already-announced, but not-yet-begun neurological and eye clinic buildings. It's new. Look at the Cincinnati Innovation District. 1,000 new jobs is just the start, not the spin-off. Look toward the East 105th-Opportunity Corridor. BTW, the firm pursuing some of the development involved with the Cincinnati project said they were big advocates of the TMUD tax credit to help offset site prep and clean-up costs associated with their development. Might see a similar situation with the Cleveland Innovation District. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
January 25, 20214 yr Wowzers! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
January 25, 20214 yr On the press conference I watched, I heard the overall investment is $565 million. A little over $200 million is from state enterprises such as JobsOhio. Over $300 million from Cleveland Clinic and the rest sprinkled in from the various other institutions.
January 25, 20214 yr Can't believe this clown is asking about Portman in the press conf My hovercraft is full of eels
January 25, 20214 yr Hopefully some of this can spinoff occurs on Euclid as well. The Health Corridor has plenty of space!!
January 25, 20214 yr All these new potential jobs makes Circle Square (The Artisan) a very attractive future investment. Lots of money moving into this part of town.
