August 13, 20195 yr I know there is a Family Dollar right next door, but is there a chance this Kinsman Plaza new construction is for a Dollar General?
August 14, 20195 yr Wasn't there supposed to be a moratorium on "Dollar" type convenience stores by the City of Cleveland coming on line? It's completely stupid for the City to even think of something like this. Anyway, I thought I heard about it a few weeks ago.

December 24, 20195 yr One more bit of news coverage: EDWINS Bakery & Training Center to bring European sweets and breads to Cleveland's Buckeye neighborhood Posted: 12:14 PM, Dec 19, 2019 Updated: 6:21 AM, Dec 20, 2019 By: Kaylyn Hlavaty CLEVELAND — The man behind Cleveland’s pioneering EDWINS Leadership and Restaurant Institute, a place that gives formerly incarcerated adults a foundation in culinary and hospitality, is expanding the opportunities with the EDWINS Bakery and Training Center. Located at 13106 Buckeye Road, just blocks from Shaker Square, the 2,900 square foot space serves as a diner, bakery and training ground for hands-on education and work experience. The bakery and training center is set to open on Dec. 20. This bakery will resemble one you would find in a café in Europe, and to ensure the authenticity of the menu offerings, Chrostowski enlisted the guidance from Kurt Zoss, the head baker and instructor at large, formerly of Zoss the Swiss Baker fame. https://www.news5cleveland.com/lifestyle/food/edwins-bakery-training-center-to-bring-european-sweets-and-breads-to-clevelands-buckeye-neighborhood

Glad to hear that the intent is to save as much as possible! That's a pretty good strip of buildings. Lots of parking, lots, but good to see the investment in preserving what is there. If it really takes off, build on those lots!
February 17, 20205 yr That stretch of Buckeye could use a good streetscape plan along with the planned building renovations. Burying the utility lines along that stretch could open up a lot more sidewalk access for outdoor seating. I drive down this road about twice a week from Shaker. Has strong promise with Edwin's campus as a east end anchor and community resources like Providence House moving in mid way.

July 11, 20204 yr Not exactly development, but certainly a welcome investment in Buckeye: Edwins’ second-chance mission expands to housing in Cleveland https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2020/07/edwins-second-chance-mission-expands-to-housing-in-cleveland.html CLEVELAND, Ohio - Brandon Chrostowski's vision of offering second chances is branching from its culinary roots into the housing market. Chrostowski, whose flagship restaurant Edwins Leadership and Restaurant Institute hires and trains recently released incarcerated individuals, has acquired two multi-family homes billed as the initial growth step for the Second Chance Life Skills Center campus. The 20,000 square-foot Buckeye neighborhood-based campus, which was established in 2016, provides for living, working and recreational enrichment. ... His goal, he added, is to acquire and make available 10 houses within the next few years. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

August 6, 20204 yr THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2020 Woodhill Station transit-oriented development on track All signals are green for construction of a moderately-sized apartment building across the street from the Buckeye-Woodhill light-rail transit station in Cleveland. With financing in place, general contractor bids are due to be submitted to developer The Community Builders on Aug. 12, according to the Dodge Reports. Site preparation work could start in November but major construction activity is likely to get under way in the spring.

August 6, 20204 yr While I'm not crazy for the site plan (setbacks), I'm thrilled these projects are moving forward. For all the excitement over luxury apartment projects in the hot areas, new affordable (and subsidized) housing in the neighborhoods is even more important.

September 21, 20204 yr Judging from the picture in the article this building looks fantastic and in no way looks like an eyesore, especially compared to most of Buckeyes side streets!

In my humble opinion, these old buildings need to stay. https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/09/21/buckeye-neighborhood-fights-get-condemned-building-down-new-owner-wants-refurbish-develop/ Those buildings are beautiful. Tearing them down will not only destroy the historic Urban fabric of the neighborhood but leave a gaping hole in the block. There has been a great deal of improvement in it and the owners appear to care.
September 21, 20204 yr The photos of the building being used, both in the story and in the petition, are from Google street view from May 2019. While the exterior doesn't look terrible, there are missing windows and you can tell there was damage done from a fire. This was from before the current owner bought it though, and the story talks about them working on the exterior and correcting all of the code violations. It's more than a bit misleading to talk about a building being an eyesore, and then use out dated photos for it. I'd like to know how the building looks like today, after work has been done. It's not right to tear a building down if the owner is actively working to rehab it, and I imagine the city would have a big problem if they tore it down without any code violations.
September 21, 20204 yr How people cant view a structure like that as an anchor for catalytic investment is beyond me.
September 24, 20204 yr Saying "the neighborhood is fighting" to have the building razed is a weird way to say "Brandon Chrostowski wants this building demolished."

Tons of cool buildings that just need some (or in some cases A LOT of) love. Could be a longer Larchmere if it's fully activated. I'm all about reducing the lanes in favor of bike lanes and street parking among other things.
January 5, 20214 yr ^ this is one of the best stretches of intact buildings in the city. There is so much potential here. One problem they may have is that residents voted years ago to create "dry precinct" which covers a lot of this area. This becomes a challenge to any type of restaurant development.
