October 2, 20159 yr mjarboe[/member] goes into a lot more detail (as always) about the development in her piece today. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/10/hemingway_development_expects.html#incart_m-rpt-1 btw I have no problem with the vision. Seems very well thought out. I'm going to trust Geis on this one. This along with the UH development will be a boon to the area. And parking lots are always available to be built on in the future if the demand is there.
October 2, 20159 yr Weren't millions in federal funds redirected from the Warner Swasey building for this project? Three spec buildings that are just a single story. I would have been happy if at least two of them were combined into a two or three story building and oriented north-south to allow for future construction. The current site plan doesn't leave much room for expansion.

If the kind of midrise, mixed-use development that we'd all like to see eventually becomes feasible, then one story buildings and parking lots will be very little impediment.
October 3, 20159 yr If the kind of midrise, mixed-use development that we'd all like to see eventually becomes feasible, then one story buildings and parking lots will be very little impediment. If anything, a development like this, especially the UH structures on Euclid, will help stabilize and energize that area for further development in the coming decades.

October 4, 20159 yr Bialosky on move to MidTown October 04, 2015 By STAN BULLARD Bialosky + Partners Architects LLC, a Cleveland firm with a pipeline of high-profile projects, plans to move to MidTown Cleveland from Shaker Square, exiting a building the firm has owned since 1964. The firm, which boasts three Bialoskys who all hold master’s degrees in architecture from Yale University, is bound for the 6555 Carnegie Building, which takes its name from its address in Streetsboro-based Geis Cos.’ MidTown Commerce Center. For the most part, MidTown Commerce includes new office/warehouse buildings that are a key part of plans to redefine the stretch of town from University Circle to Public Square as the health tech corridor. However, the architects found space in a one-time car manufacturing building incorporated in the campus. Jack Alan Bialosky Jr., senior managing principal, said the firm was attracted to the area by construction of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s HealthLine bus/rapid transit line on Euclid Avenue and efforts to attract technology-based tenants to the neighborhood.

So that's probably not her.

November 18, 20159 yr Dealer Tire LLC moving to new headquarters in Midtown November 17, 2015 By JAY MILLER Dealer Tire LLC, a tire wholesaler now based on Chester Avenue in Cleveland, is headed to Midtown. The growing company is expected to occupy the Victory Center, a four-story, 166,000-square-foot building at 7012 Euclid Ave. The rapidly growing company has outgrown its space at 3711 Chester Ave. The city of Cleveland is helping the move with $6.5 million in loans and grants. The company had been rumored to be looking at sites in Independence and Indiana as well as Midtown. Those rumors were confirmed by legislation introduced Monday, Nov. 16, to Cleveland City Council. One piece of legislation would authorize a $1 million grant to Dealer Tire to partially finance the company’s relocation to 7012 Euclid. Other legislation describes $5.5 million in grants loans to assist the building owner, Victory Midtown LLC, with the move and with improvements to the building, and to construct an adjacent parking garage to accommodate what is eventually expected to be 600 Dealer Tire employees.

November 18, 20159 yr ^Interesting. Not exactly the "Health Tech" type tenant that boosters are hoping to cluster in that area, but certainly good for the city to keep this company.
November 18, 20159 yr From what I have heard, this company 1) has a rather large payroll, 2) is growing very quickly, and 3) was actually very very close to moving to Independence. I'm glad the City was able to convince them to stay. And it's great to see the health-tech corridor filling in.
November 18, 20159 yr 600 employees projected in the near future is substantial. I wonder what they have now? Too bad Kasich killed the move of the state psychiatric hospital from Sagamore to Midtown. That would have been 500 more employees for the heart of Midtown. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
November 18, 20159 yr I'm glad Sagamore is keeping the psych hospital. And while I'm also glad Cleveland is keeping these Dealer Tire jobs, I hope that the Victory building can remain mixed-use, as opposed to putting offices on the first floor.
November 18, 20159 yr ^I hate that the buildings which occupied the site were torn down. Who would have known that a few years afterwards there would potentially be a market to rehab them?
November 27, 20159 yr I'm glad Sagamore is keeping the psych hospital. And while I'm also glad Cleveland is keeping these Dealer Tire jobs, I hope that the Victory building can remain mixed-use, as opposed to putting offices on the first floor. What did I miss about the hospital moving?

December 1, 20159 yr ^The state announced in 2009 plans to consolidate psych care at a new hospital to be built on Euclid Ave in Midtown, but canceled the plans a couple years later during the budget crunch. Hmmmm, the VA's strategy. Maybe that's why Sagamore Road just got redone, they expected to have a new development there. Unless of course it went to CVNP. In a way, that makes sense. Psych patients probably have a much lower rate of car ownership than the general population, and that area is about as transit accessible as Antarctica. Then again, it's tough to imagine a more sprawl-friendly proposal.
December 10, 20159 yr Children's Museum reaches $4M in capital campaign to renovate Stager-Beckwith Mansion By Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer on December 10, 2015 at 7:32 AM, updated December 10, 2015 at 10:52 AM CLEVELAND, Ohio – The capital campaign to renovate the vacant Stager-Beckwith Mansion on Euclid Avenue as the new home of the Children's Museum of Cleveland has zoomed from $800,000 to $4 million in a year. That means the campaign is roughly $500,000 shy of the amount needed to trigger construction on its first phase, and close to raising half of the $9 million needed in all to complete the project. "The momentum is great," Maria Campanelli, the museum's director, said Wednesday during a tour of the architecturally impressive 1866 mansion, formerly home to the University Club. Campanelli's progress report shows the museum, Northeast Ohio's only institution dedicated to children from birth to eight years of age, is making rapid strides toward the renovation, a project necessitated by loss of its existing home. Established in 1981, the museum has occupied a remodeled Howard Johnson's restaurant at 10730 Euclid Ave. in University Circle since 1986. http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2015/12/childrens_museum_reaches_4m_in.html#incart_river_home

December 16, 20159 yr That building was always such a mystery. It seemed like the front facade was under perpetual slo mo "renovation" for years. I just assumed it was finally occupied. Guess not.
January 28, 20169 yr Another Euclid Avenue mansion to go? I know it's been an eyesore many years, but with all the renovation going on in Cleveland.... Someone did put some money and effort into building that brick addition; that should lessen the cost of someone doing something good there, it would seem? Anything really decent planned for the site? I doubt it. I say better keep the partially covered up mansion than no mansion - e.g. Drury House lost to now defunct Health Museum. Such a shame the French-style, Walker & Weeks-designed carriage house went, too. Really for nothing!

February 3, 20169 yr Really? They want an exemption from bike rack spaces?!? C'mon -- how hard is that!? Hopefully that piece is denied, unless they're promising indoor bike parking.
February 4, 20169 yr Why is a landscaped frontage required? I don't seem to recall the victory building having anything like that. EDIT: I mention the Victory building because it is built in the same district.
February 4, 20169 yr ^The Victory Building predates the current zoning code. It might even predate any Cleveland zoning code (not sure of its vintage). An in any case, this particular zone MMUD4 is only mapped along Chester, so doesn't include the Euclid frontage or the Victory Building's location. And even beyond that, the city's zoning code is just the starting point for negotiation, as that list of variances makes clear.
February 4, 20169 yr Really? They want an exemption from bike rack spaces?!? C'mon -- how hard is that!? Hopefully that piece is denied, unless they're promising indoor bike parking. Very often Notices of Non-Conformance list things that the developer will end up doing, it's just that the architect didn't show them on the generally conceptual plans. I'm sure they will end up removing that variance request from the project.

If you are a native Clevelander, have you been following development for very long? Like I said, just really confused. No, I am not new to Cleveland or to following development, and I don't appreciate the condescending tone of your post towards me. If you're confused that this isn't blight, then look on google street view, I think it was blight. And now I've learned that the building was through a huge fire since then too, putting it even worse condition. If you're by my excitement, in this one instance of a crumbling, blighted structure being removed by a private entity, it is because since the mortgage crisis, it has mostly been up to public or non-profit entities to demolish buildings and prep a site for new construction. Think the land bank. I am very excited to see a developer putting their own money towards clearing (I'll say it again) blighted structure to prepare for something new and tax producing, instead of waiting indefinitely, or lobbying for someone like the city or a landbank to come around and spend limited money that ultimately comes from the tax payers and could be spent on something else.
February 22, 20169 yr Well we don't have to appreciate eachother's tone, especially considering our likely irreconcilable differences. I wouldn't oppose demo of a burnt out structure, but having fought more than my share of senseless Euclid Corridor demolitions, I don't appreciate your tone in cheering it on, not that it matters. I am not a native Clevelander but will say that the perceptions of some of the native Clevelanders are needlessly bitter toward the historic bldg stock. This is a HUGE shame, bc it is the best thing Cleveland has going for it, like it or not. It just shocks me that you'd be so cheerful about a demo, so I just feel the need to speak up and offer a respectful, yet contrarian viewpoint on that. The Fairmount Creamery was a burnt out bldg not too recently ago. All of W. 25th in Ohio City was still kind of a wreck when I first moved to Cleveland, kind of like Lorain is today (still, really) and I think that will be the next transformation. You have to preserve these historic bldgs bc they are Cleveland's competitive edge, and you have to take that seriously, otherwise we can just stop now. As for those public programs for demolition (land bank, etc) I think the whole VAPAC coalition has questionable goals, motives, and results. I don't know how they can look themselves in the mirror when they refuse to give a dime to help abate lead paint in OCCUPIED homes with children bc we need all the monies to tear down the homes around them. It is undeniable that public policy, powerful and powerless alike, are often horribly misguided. Cheering on the demo's will just embolden that. Then we continue to hemorrhage our future opportunities (the historic bldg's that will over time see rehabilitation). If you doubt the capacity to rehabilitate en masse you just aren't looking around. It's happening and can go on as long as we still have historic bldgs to rehab. The callousness displayed toward the City of Cleveland is the main reason I don't really bother posting on here very much. I wish it were different, but on the bright side you guys don't have to put up with too much of my preaching lol.
February 22, 20169 yr ^ I'm all for caustic tones but have you been by that building? It's basically 4 crumbling, fire damaged, nondescript walls. It barely qualifies as a building anymore. There has to be some level of nuance introduced into the "this building is over 50 years old therefore it shall remain forever" stance.
February 22, 20169 yr I don't disagree. I specifically said that wasn't my stance - I'm just advocating for some nuance and subtlety about it, and not cheers for just the concept of private individuals tearing something down so the city doesn't have to.
February 23, 20169 yr I guess I still wasn't being fully clear. I am for private companies tearing down blighted buildings and preparing new development sites with there own money, instead of tax dollars having to be used when it happens. I am not cheering or advocating that private companies should go in and tear down every single old building in the city. That's ridiculous and you're assuming way too much out of my original post. Tell me what was so great about this one specific building that made it worthy of being saved. It was a long abandoned, polluted dry cleaning property set back from the street and majority single story. That was even before it was devastated by a major fire. If it was anything else, I would not be cheering on demolition. But since this was clearly something that needed to be cleared out, it's a great thing that a private company is using their money, instead of taxpayer money. That is what I'm cheering. That is in no way cheering the bulldozing of all historic buildings in the city.
