February 16, 20187 yr Here's a pic of the progress on the first row of townhomes, from 73rd Street and Euclid Avenue looking west.
February 21, 20187 yr The former First Methodist Church at 3000 Euclid Ave. was put up for sale. A beautiful building, hopefully gets a full adaptive re-use. http://realestate.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2018/02/historic_euclid_avenue_church.html Historic Euclid Avenue church headed to auction, with minimum sale price of $250,000 (photos) CLEVELAND, Ohio - The sanctuary at the historic First Methodist Church on Euclid Avenue is poised to draw a crowd Thursday unlike any in the building's 113-year history. Real estate investors, not congregants, will fill the gently curving pews at 11 a.m. Their calling won't be to pray, but to bid. The church, at Euclid and East 30th Street, and the adjacent school building are up for auction. They'll sell as long as someone offers at least $250,000 - the "reserve," or minimum, price set by the congregation. It's possible a Cleveland landmark with a berth on the National Register of Historic Places will be purchased for less than the median sale price of a house in Beachwood or Rocky River. Of course, auctioneer Michael Berland and the church's leaders, now merged into the University Circle United Methodist Church, hope the bidding will yield a much higher figure. "We're very confident that there will be a winning bidder at or above the minimum bid, so the property will go under contract ... Thursday," Berland said, adding that the sale then will occur by March 29. Developers have looked at the buildings, on just shy of an acre, for apartments, offices, schools and other conversion projects, said Berland and Mark Abood of Hanna Commercial Real Estate, which has been marketing the property. But the combination of the dramatic sanctuary, with a ceiling that approaches 100 feet, and the school building, constructed in the mid-1960s as offices behind the church, has proved daunting. Both structures are empty. The First United Methodist Church congregation left in early 2010, after merging with the smaller Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Church and moving to Epworth-Euclid's higher-profile building - often referred to as the "Holy Oil Can" - at Chester Avenue and East 107th Street.

March 9, 20187 yr MidTown is abuzz with the March opening of Tech Hive Banking on the growing coworking trend, the hope is that when the MidTown Tech Hive opens on Thursday, March 1, it will become a cooperative gathering place for great minds to bring innovative ideas—offering a sense of community and an emphasis on tech education. “We’re really excited about the Hive coming to the neighborhood,” says MidTown Cleveland executive director Jeff Epstein. “It will bring a lot of energy [and] a lot of people to the neighborhood. It’s been part of the plan for the area for several years.” The Tech Hive is the brainchild of DigitalC co-founder and former CEO Lev Gonick and director of place Joan Chase. Last year, the two began dreaming of a community-driven coworking space where technology-focused businesses could form and blossom in the Health-Tech Corridor and beyond. The $2 million project (of which the City of Cleveland is providing $744,000) is designed to create a digitally literate population in MidTown and bring the city to the forefront in technology and innovation. http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/breaking-ground/TechHive022018.aspx

March 11, 20187 yr ^ that sounds like we work in ny. they are buying up properties left and right for these co-work spaces geared toward tech and small business. even big business is starting to use them. a friend’s office is jammed so they are moving some people to a we work off-site. we work even basically pushed out the venerable lord&taylor dept store on 5th avenue. they are taking over most of the building. its becoming a kind of scary company almost, but they certainly are taking advantage of a changing business, tech, retail and real estate world, so you got to hand it to them. https://work.qz.com/1223988/weworks-co-working-offices-are-just-the-start-of-its-ambitions/

Section 357.08(b)(2) which states that a 20 foot rear yard is required for a residence building and no rear yard is provided. 2. Section 357.09(b)(2)© which states that interior side yards in the amount of 8 feet are required and none are provided. 3.

(Answers were due Friday.) Our photo essay from earlier this month: https://t.co/yNo5SNdPbb I missed that the first time; thanks for reposting. This is one of the few urban decay places in Cleveland that I've ever been to, about a year and a half ago. I was awestruck by how large the facility is/was. I am curious what could ever be done with it if it is not torn down... it would certainly be a significant expense to finish remediation of the property.
April 2, 20187 yr The city only received 2 proposals. I have a feeling that this building is not long for this world.
April 2, 20187 yr The closest analogue I can think of to what a non-demolition end use might look like for the Warner & Swasey site is Ponce City Market in Atlanta. Of course, the ATL project has the advantage of a less unsavory site history, direct connections to the Beltline, and growing urban neighborhoods in close proximity. Hard to picture the same factors working in favor of the CLE site. A guy can dream though!
April 2, 20187 yr Got some bad news. My cousin's company (they design and make prosthetic organs) will likely be leaving their location Midtown for Solon by year's end. They need more space, will be hiring another 10-15 engineers, and have been unable to find suitable space in Midtown.

April 13, 20187 yr Eh... Seems pretty lonely for where its at... couldnt have been a little closer to the road?
April 13, 20187 yr I'm not familiar with the development, but the website shows two layers of townhouses. I'm guessing a second phase will be built up to the road?
April 13, 20187 yr I'm not familiar with the development, but the website shows two layers of townhouses. I'm guessing a second phase will be built up to the road? There will be three phases with a total of 23 units. The first phase is located in the center of the development and when it's totally completed it will be a square of units with open area with a water feature in the middle. https://onemidtowncle.com/siteplan/
April 13, 20187 yr I really like how much they are plugging the HealthLine on the development's website.

April 18, 20187 yr It's nice how it worked out better for Midtown/Health Tech Corridor because now they have both a co-working space in Tech Hive with a built in coffee shop and DEALERS TIRE has a 20 year below market lease at the Victory Building, even thru they lost out on the Beauty Shoppe co-working project that was to open at the Victory Building a couple of years ago. Several amenities that the Tech Hive will offer to eager entrepreneurs who rent desks and or offices in the new co-working space includes: For $10 a day, startups can get a desk anywhere in the three story building, including access to a conference rooms, lounge areas, a wellness room with a shower and of course Wifi. And of course with DEALERS TIRE 20 year lease at the Victory Building that area is a real sweet spot for more development including the Tech Elevator, the new University Hospitals new outpatient health center for women and children and also the developer behind the MidTown Tech Park with his Link59. Not to mention the new Tru by Hilton a 114 room hotel being built next to the Victory Building. Tru is a recent addition to the Hilton family of hotels. Billed as youthful, hip and affordable. The hotels have smaller-than-average rooms and aim for nightly rates of $100 or less. http://realestate.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2017/03/dealer_tire_revs_up_long-vacan.html http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2018/04/digitalcs_new_tech_hive_space.html http://realestate.cleveland.com/realestate-news/2017/07/tru_by_hilton_hotel_could_open.html http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/02/coworking_craze_hits_cleveland.html ----------

May 2, 20187 yr Seriously? At least that shipping container development at Kinsman/East 79th had some permanency to it.
