October 8, 20231 yr Ok friends! I took a stab at making a time lapse video! Edited October 8, 20231 yr by Silent Matt
October 8, 20231 yr Bit of a photo dump - Hard to find new angles - but had to see in person as I’m in town this weekend- what a great dynamic from street level - especially in Public Square - which feels so much more fully realized already!

October 10, 20231 yr Plenty of architectural variety here if you can look past (literally) the scuzzy RTA window.
October 13, 20231 yr Looks like they started disassembling the elevator forms. Edited October 13, 20231 yr by Mendo
October 13, 20231 yr I still wish it was taller, but it looks better than I imagined. I have to realize, this is Cleveland and not NYC or Chicago.

October 14, 20231 yr How much taller is the SW building compared to the Erieview Tower? Erieview looks like its a taller building even though its not.

October 14, 20231 yr A really nice moment from the new SW promo construction vid in this screen grab This really shows how the new HQ was designed to be a very similar in scale to 200PS across the square - and the resulting symmetry between the big 4 is going to be very effective.
October 14, 20231 yr Photo from yesterday courtesy of my twenty-something cousin. I take it she must've been visiting an apartment in Ohio City?
October 14, 20231 yr I think from looking at the most recent photos it looks as though they stopped the core at level 38 rather than the 39 I had thought they would go up to. I'll do an update process update next week as not too much as changed from a week ago.

Either those greyish-blue condos off Lorain, or could have been taken from the bridge. This has to be one of my new favorite vantage points for viewing the skyline. With Scranton peninsula being built up the city looks even more dense. Bedrock's plans should help out a ton too.
October 17, 20231 yr A pic from the 26th Floor of 1111 Superior last week ... and then a couple from a tad higher, as we headed to Albuquerque the next day! 😉✈️ Edited October 17, 20231 yr by Paul in Cleveland
October 18, 20231 yr From the 7th floor of the Cuyahoga County JJC (Maybe we're the forest city after all)Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk
October 19, 20231 yr ^Wow. This photo really shows how tiny typical floors at Terminal Tower are. Floor plates are probably 1/3 modern skyscrapers.

October 21, 20231 yr Always gotta love when people say "don't want to derail this thread but..." and then go on to post something that they know is going to derail the thread, because it's the exact same thing that's derailed threads a hundred times on UO. Save it.
October 24, 20231 yr Just e quick shot from west 9th and Superior this morning. Edited October 24, 20231 yr by ArtMasterCLE
October 25, 20231 yr A quick markup to show how much steel framing is left based off of @MayDayphoto.
October 25, 20231 yr I can't say enough how much this building was needed to modernize the city skyline. The mix of old and new has always been what has impressed me with Chicago.
October 25, 20231 yr I agree with you, @newyorker. This beautiful photo by @MayDaywith the grandest of the old reflected in the new is a perfect example of your point.

October 25, 20231 yr Wanted to upload these from Sunday earlier but the colors kept getting muted. The shadow being cast on 200 PS is sooo cool. Edited October 25, 20231 yr by Pleco
