May 25, 201411 yr Driving by I saw on the NE corner of what I believe was E69th and Carnegie, there was a building (or two?) recently demolished. Is this still part of the Geis development?
May 25, 201411 yr ^I believe Geis had bought the buildings and applied to have them demoed, but I am not quite sure they currently have any plans for the location.

Jeff Epstein recently signed on to shepherd marketing and development along the corridor, a 1,600-acre target area for businesses with a healthcare or technology bent. The former vice president of development at the Coral Co., Epstein now is stationed at neighborhood nonprofit MidTown Cleveland, Inc. Established in 2010, the Health-Tech Corridor represents a partnership between the city, the Cleveland Foundation, MidTown Cleveland and BioEnterprise, a nonprofit focused on the creation and growth of biotech businesses. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/08/health-tech_corridor_gains_fir.html#incart_river

If it was just businesses it will look nice but after 4 O'clock the area will look dead. I have hope that they would do it right but only time will tell.
November 2, 201410 yr MidTown branching out by strengthening residential roots By STAN BULLARD November 02, 2014 4:30 AM MidTown has made strides as a location for businesses, with recent developments including the MidTown Tech Center and the refurbishment of the office building at the Agora Theater building on progress that has been made in the last 30 years.

November 2, 201410 yr This is the perfect area for cluster type apartments, similar to what you would find in Downtown Brooklyn, Midtown Miami, Spring Garden in Philly, M Street or the Navy Yard Area's in DC, Midtown Atlanta, the Roosevelt & State in Chicago. There is so much potential in this area for redevelopment and to re-populate!
November 2, 201410 yr The answer here is demand, demand, demand. The article pointed out that Midtown can make hay residentially as a place for renters who don't want to pay the downtown or UC rents. Problem is, rents downtown are still extremely reasonable which means midtown can't possibly survive by being the cheaper alternative. Need to keep demand coming downtown and cause some spillover.

Also, by developing residential in midtown, this will help keep a check on rents in downtown, at least in the short run. As was pointed out, development is already headed east. Eventually this should mean a collection of cohesive neighborhoods from downtown to University Circe.

John Gorman had a Facebook post this morning about how absolutely rotten that building/neighborhood was right before MMS moved out of there. It's a great example, as are many of his posts, of how times have changed. It would help a lot to have a second draw in that vicinity though, much like we could use in Northfield. It seems to me like only one draw doesn't always help much.

As I've said when other area's came online, and people thought they would cannibalize existing areas. I'll ask this. How can midtown developing hurt downtown? The pluses outweigh doing NOTHING. Perhaps I should have been more clear because you've totally misinterpreted what I was saying. Nowhere did I say midtown developing would hurt downtown. My point was, even with all the demand and waiting lists downtown, why is so little happening in Midtown? The answer was not mine, but in the article: because no one will rent in midtown for downtown prices. You're saying "why do you think we should only keep focus on downtown," well, who's the "we"? We on the board, or the nebulous "We" that people think exists that can just snap their fingers and make renovating or new construction in MidTown viable at rents significantly lower than downtown? To be clear: I am not against things happening in midtown and I don't know how, when I wrote "demand demand demand," that it could be read as being against added supply in MidTown. More options is good. My point was that for MidTown to ever really take off, the demand growth that has been happening for urban living downtown and in UC needs to continue. So far, so good. The spillover has begun somewhat but if demand flattens, I don't think the needle is going to move much in MidTown and we're going to be stuck with that "barbell effect" for the next decade.

But if anyone knows this area of Philly... then you can certainly see the similarities to Midtown.
November 3, 201410 yr Spring Garden in Philly has not been demolished nearly as much as Midtown Cleveland. Lots of old row houses and larger buildings similar to Society Hill in Philly. IMHO, the biggest hurdle for Midtown is overcoming the mass demolition that took place from the 60's through the 80's. For the most part, re-building Midtown is almost entirely a "ground-up" task. I honestly do not oppose the "Geis" style developments in the Midtown neighborhood, and focus more in the Payne to St. Clair stretch with Superior as the main commercial thoroughfare. Just seems to be more existing residential and commercial stock to work with. Not to mention, the China Town neighborhood.

November 3, 201410 yr Yes indeed! Someone's trying to make something out of next to nothing there. It would be great if a similar thing could happen in Midtown, perhaps even larger. Considering the transit asset that provides such great* connectivity to UC and downtown, the whole corridor could be a hot location. I think residential would follow close behind.
November 3, 201410 yr The proposed bike lane expansion toward the east should be a step in the right direction in driving demand. I think being able to market the area as an easy 5-10 minute bike ride to downtown, CSU, Case Western, West Side Market, Univ Circle, etc. would be a nice boost.

The majority of the area between race and spring garden was dead mans land.

December 2, 201410 yr ^Thanks for posting. A bit of a bummer none of the development proposals for that site ever took hold before the old mill buildings were demoed- some of them may have been salvageable (as was initially envisioned by Midtown). I sort of dread the aesthetics of Geis new-build projects, but will be nice to see that empty lot finally get filled. Disappointing to hear that nothing is in the cards for the Warner Swasey building anytime soon.

December 4, 201410 yr Hemingway Development eyes 12-acre office-and-lab project in Cleveland's Midtown CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A local developer is considering new construction on 12 grassy acres in Cleveland's Midtown neighborhood, where public officials and business leaders are trying to lure more tech firms and health-related companies. Hemingway Development, part of the Geis Cos. of Streetsboro, has been working on a master plan for city-owned property on the north side of Euclid Avenue, east of East 57th Street. The details are somewhat murky, but a Cleveland City Council committee heard the broad strokes of Hemingway's vision this week. It's no secret that Hemingway, the developer behind the nearby MidTown Tech Park, has been talking to bigger tenants and eyeing other opportunities in the neighborhood. But the timing of this week's news doesn't stem from a land deal or lease agreement. Instead, it's tied to $13 million in federal money that the city stands to lose at year's end. In 2011, Cleveland secured a $10 million federal loan and a $3 million grant for redevelopment of the boarded-up Warner & Swasey complex in Midtown. At the time, Hemingway had a deal to buy the city-owned buildings for a tech-center redevelopment just off Carnegie Avenue, near East 55th Street.

December 9, 201410 yr Children's Museum of Cleveland gains control of Euclid Avenue mansion after foreclosure (gallery) By Michelle Jarboe McFee, The Plain Dealer on December 09, 2014 at 4:47 PM, updated December 09, 2014 at 4:48 PM CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A quiet real estate deal that closed Tuesday augurs a second chance for a small Cleveland cultural institution and an expansive house on the city's onetime Millionaire's Row. A company tied to the Children's Museum of Cleveland paid $50,000 this week for the empty Stager-Beckwith mansion, which slipped into foreclosure in 2012. Now the historic home, at times a residence, a private club and a university, will enter yet another life cycle as a playground and classroom for infants and young children. There are two story lines here, converging in new opportunities for a museum with growth aspirations and a troubled property that begs for care.

Ideastream’s David C. Barnett reports that the move comes after years of cramped conditions in a facility they didn't even own. For over three decades, the museum has leased an old Howard Johnson’s restaurant in University Circle, where children up to eight-years old are immersed in a variety of of activities that mix play and education. The plan is to move into a former mansion at 38th and Euclid --- a remnant of the city’s famed “Millionaires Row”, where titans of industry once lived, at the turn of the 20th century. Executive Director Maria Campanelli says the move was important for Cleveland to keep up with a fast-growing trend of childrens museums across the country.

Maybe the finances of this wouldn't work, but why not locate this downtown where being in the City becomes part of the experience for these youngsters going to the museum? Nothing had a larger impact on my childhood than being downtown and interacting with the city. Missed opportunity in my opinion.

The Beauty Shoppe, a Pittsburgh-based coworking operator, has signed a deal to run Midtown's first such space in 18,000 square feet at the Victory Center on Euclid Avenue. Set to open in June, the Cleveland facility will offer flexible digs - from unassigned desks to private offices - starting around $150 a month. Proponents of the project, a public-private investment, believe a coworking facility will enliven that stretch of the Midtown neighborhood, making it easier to attract businesses and investors. They're also betting that the Beauty Shoppe, as the first tenant at Victory, will lure other companies to ink deals at the restored historic building at 7012 Euclid Ave. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/02/coworking_craze_hits_cleveland.html

The deal marks a banner commitment to the city's Health-Tech Corridor, five years after public officials and nonprofit executives announced their vision of a linear research park running from downtown Cleveland to University Circle. At that time, healthcare leaders talked about using their economic clout to cultivate investment and to nudge businesses, including suppliers, into the 3-mile corridor. Since then, the city and a handful of private developers have tidied up or built up parts of the 1,600-acre expanse.
