Yeah like I said, probably just my brain not being able to comprehend the scale from the pictures. I'll be in downtown on Tuesday, so as long as the weather cooperates I'll take a stroll during lunch and try and get a feel for it in real life.
March 31, 20232 yr Another gruesome day in our beautiful city, TGIF. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
March 31, 20232 yr Bit of a stretch but if you zoom in you can see the SHW crane in this one, I'll be back with a non-cell camera to actually get this view again. Another one that's a super stretch (and need good camera to capture it) but you can barely make out SHW crane.

April 1, 20232 yr Thanks, @GISguy Yeah that’s a very infrequently seen perspective of the city - man, will SW make a difference from that angle, too. Really shows the dominance of our beloved Key Tower as well. And can we get rid of the silos while we’re at it? Edited April 1, 20232 yr by CleveFan

April 2, 20232 yr Some nighttime pics from Friday night after attending CIFF. Looking good! (The hubby was driving, not me!)
April 2, 20232 yr I couldn't snag a photo since I was driving, however, not only the elevator shaft, but honest-to-God steel is visible peeking over the Post Office Plaza when coming northbound over the Voinovich Bridge. My kids wouldn't let me stop the car on the innerbelt to gawk though 😂

April 2, 20232 yr I wonder if the core shaft will shrink as it rises. Often not all elevators go to the top floor. We'll see. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
April 2, 20232 yr Cesar Pelli (Key Tower architect) spoke of the “living room-like feel” Public Square will have with Society Tower and Ameritrust completed in the early 90’s. Obviously a bit delayed, and SW shifted one block west, but it seems like we’ll finally get that environment.

From the final design submission in Nov 2021, it will shrink by the 18th floor. It does not show the schematic for floors 15 - 17, but shows floor 18 with a smaller core on the North side of the building. It looks like it will shrink again on the 29th floor, but it does not show floors 25 - 28. It looks like they are working on the 15th floor of the core, so we should know soon.

There may be a corner or two of "that building", whatever you call it, lol, that stick out, like where SWHQ's "rabbit ears" slope down in the middle. May allow for BP to stick out. Otherwise, yea, probably will be mostly blocked out.
April 4, 20232 yr Some photos from today at my downtown office (which I rarely go to any more). Pics from the top floor of the garage connected to 1111 Superior — and then the 26th floor of 1111 Superior.

A time lapse would look so cool from that vantage point!
April 4, 20232 yr Are they pouring the foundation for the welcome center? Or are those cement trucks there just hanging out waiting for the core pour?

April 4, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, MayDay said: Really enjoying all these great pics - not just of the new HQ, but all the cool perspectives of downtown. A few people have commented about how SW will block views of 200 depending on where you’re looking from - true, but any big city with lots of buildings has that nice problem. Conversely, there are some views that really expose a big gap in the skyline - like the top pic above by @MayDay- which are going to be dramatically improved by the new tower. The lower pic, shows how Euclid with its old beige stone buildings is sure going to feel modernized when all that new blue glass is installed at the new big building dominating the view. Lovin it!!

The top of the hill on Cedar at Fairmount. It’s a perfect gap filler from there.

April 6, 20232 yr I’m in Cleveland for the Springsteen show last night at RMF (fantastic show) and this is the view of SW HQ from the 26th floor of the Hilton.
April 6, 20232 yr Amazing how, in jeremyck01's photos, just removing the acres of parking lots does SO MUCH to improve the looks of the whole area. I had not appreciated how dramatic a change this would make even without the new building's completion. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
April 6, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, LibertyBlvd said: Now we just need to replace that hideous justice center. I say replace the facade and cover it w glass, like the federal building (because we need the +400'). No doubt it's ugly though. Has the core jumped to 16? The steel looks like it's running up fast!

April 6, 20232 yr Looks like we've got some foundation concrete laid for the paint museum building....
April 7, 20232 yr This project really makes me excited for the old nucleus site with bedrock…hopefully they give us something worthy! These two projects will define Clevelands future!

April 11, 20232 yr (4-10-23) Just barley high enough to be visible from the Jake. Looking forward to the view by October. View from Superior
