Does anyone have an educated guess how many workers are on site any given day? 300? 500? I'm guessing the local restaurants are very, very happy with this project.

 

I went to lunch about a month back at Johnny's Little Bar and one of the iron workers came in to pick up food. He was in and out so I couldn't ask him much, but he said he loves the thrill of it and responsibly declined my invite to buy him a drink. 

 

Edit: I didn't even consider the shack and parking garage! So now my uneducated guess would be much closer to 1,000

I don't think it's anywhere near 1,000.

 

You've got iron workers, glazers, a couple crane operators, some iron workers, some laborers, concrete workers and probably some MEP guys on site now. I would say there may be 1,000 workers who will have worked on this job, but not there now.

 

It's probably around 75 to 90 workers there now. 

 

When they start finishing drywall, painting, installing flooring and other finishes, that's when you'll see the most people. That'll probably start around the first of the year based on where they are and when they plan on being done.

If you missed @js_bsg’s post on the Welleon project in the Detroit-Shoreway thread the other day, you missed some great pics of the rooftop pool’s  view - including a nice perspective of the SW Tower rising in the skyline

Going to have a few more later today, and this weekend might be a ‘good time’ for a lot more 😉

I Love It Thank You! Just Had Surgery & this brightened up my day! I hope to see more windows have been put up……Almost time for a crane jump & a core pour😉

Happy Friday! :) 

 

 

 

 

Friday update.

Damn what a missed opportunity it is to not have a public space with some greenery on the roof of that shack. Really sucks to think about. At least we will have Fahrenheit next door.

A view from (Route) 2

Didn’t get a photo but looks to be about five tower crane sections on the north side of the building.

On the West 6th side but no photo, but also not to the extent we’d all be dropping our collective jaws.

whew this is soooooo amazing 😻 

Doing a staycation this weekend with the hubby. Convinced him to walk all around the SW site after dinner. Progress for sure! Not only glass, but some stone (?) facade going up on the podium part (that I don't seem to see as often on here).

Wow, that 2nd photo! @Paul in Cleveland What a beauty …

 

I’m getting a little “Philly” vibe the way the new tower looks at the end of the avenue.  
 

Loving watching this thing grow up! 

And thank you @Paul in Clevelandfor the photo verifying there are eight new sections of the tower crane waiting to be hoisted up 🙂

Having a Goodtime and she’s jumping!

Crane jump in progress - this view’s about to get even taller/more impressive! 🏗️ 

Cleveland is so f*cking beautiful! Great pix, guys!

Especially when our lakefront and riverfront are utilized! Just sayin ..

Grabbed a few photos around town (5-27-23)

 

I guess you could say this was pretty "good timing"

 

Caught the crane mid-jump...

 

Finally a couple bonus photos (tower crane just *barely* visible behind 200 PSQ)

The view from the Lakefront Bikeway really shows what a big gap this is filling! Plus a view showing the Scranton developments, this one, and City Club all together. Lots of great stuff going on right now!

I think it's just about taller than the 55 building now.

2/25/23 left - showing the previous crane jump in progress and the concrete core just below Rockefeller

Today 5/27/23 right - showing the result of the recent crane jump and steel just above Rockefeller and just below 55 public square

Actually had a more recent photo

Left 4/12
Right today 5/27

So it’s seems like 4-5 steel levels are completed every 2 1/2-ish months

@BoomerangCleResI think you're ahead of us all by a month.

Guess this is a Goodtime for a photo dump - the photos posted yesterday were with my phone.

Can’t Wait to See This Thing Continuously soar into the sky then be wrapped in glass 😄

Are They Back Working Today?

God there just is no traffic on our streets downtown. Tell me again why we need parking lots?

They park down there my biggest worry is why we can't get them out of the office or get residents out of their homes to walk around.

65,000-70,000 people plus tourists still should equal decent foot traffic.

Were the pics taken on Memorial Day? How many people would be downtown?

Thanks for the peeps in the pics @MayDay

Keep in mind the Euclid Avenue photos were taken right by CSU and with classes out, there’s a big chunk of your foot and vehicle traffic. Not saying traffic isn’t down but it depends on the area and what uses are the focus. My photos from the Goodtime were taken Saturday and with a reggae festival at Voinovich Park, the northern end of Ninth Street was hopping. Anecdotally foot traffic at lunchtime is noticeably on the upswing.

Guys. I work downtown. There's plenty of foot traffic. It ebbs and flows depending on the time. I get it's not like 1900s foot traffic but sheesh. 

 

I've been in downtown Chicago walking around with light foot traffic before. It just depends on time of day.

According to a recent article posted by @mrnyc, I guess we are lucky we are not San Francisco. 

Stop!  It looks like a ghost town and there never seems to be more than three cars on the street.  I'm very surprised for 20k living in the downtown area.

From the "Skyline" campus. MLK/Larchmere.

I'm a stay-at-home dad of two littles, and I try to take my kids downtown on the train every week or two to romp around Tower City and Public Square.  I've actually been pleasantly surprised by the (perceived) growth in foot traffic this spring.  Here's from our most recent visit last week (complete with S/W Tower view to keep somewhat on topic).
