April 26, 201411 yr The plywood "catch" came down yesterday, something that had been thre seemingly forever to protect peds from a possibly falling facade/cornice. Revealed some detail that couldnt really be seen for a while.
April 26, 201411 yr Anyone have a picture of the tree? Not a very good one. This is from the tree's Twitter account https://twitter.com/TrumanTree BTW, I'm glad to see visible signs of progress -- in addition to the tree coming down.

June 4, 201411 yr Nice job! Now if the owners of the John Hartness Brown buildings across the street could just their project moving, or the Cleveland Athletic Club get theirs going, that will be a kick-ass section of Euclid.

June 4, 201411 yr Nice job! Now if the owners of the John Hartness Brown buildings across the street could just their project moving, or the Cleveland Athletic Club get theirs going, that will be a kick-ass section of Euclid. Amen. I'm tired of walking by those buildings in their current state. The left-most one has recently become a urinal for drifters judging by the smell coming from the doorway. I can't wait to see that whole stretch of Euclid come alive again.
July 13, 201410 yr I walked past the Truman building yesterday and they had the doors open while they were working. Looks like a really nice space inside!
August 28, 201410 yr Hardly completed, this was the exterior on monday Btw this building has been renamed the "Ivory on Euclid." On the GWay Walk & Dine i met the guy from CRM who said he was the one who came up w the new name. I told hime he'd have hell to pay on UrbanOhio for that one. lol
September 8, 201410 yr Yes, someone has been a little too quick on the draw recently with moving threads about projects still underway into the completed section. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
September 24, 201410 yr Tours available starting Sept 30 including a demo suite. I plan on checking it out soon, maybe I'll even take some pictures!
September 25, 201410 yr If possible, take some exterior pictures as we haven't had any of those in a while.
September 27, 201410 yr this is from this past Monday. the only apparent difference is the skeletal system for the cornice (scrubbed/rustoleumed ?)
April 29, 201510 yr I recently tried looking for available units at the Ivory on Euclid. However, the building has been completely pre-leased and will open for move-in on May 1.
April 30, 201510 yr Actually there are already people living there. There's a back entrance that residents can use. Not sure how that has worked out (or if it is legal) but no harm no foul I suppose. :wink:
May 26, 201510 yr Good to see this retail coming to this building. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/05/geigers_clothing_and_sporting.html I realize this was posted in another thread.

May 27, 201510 yr From right is the old Cleveland Trust Rotunda (home of Heinen's), the Swetland Building (Azure up top, apartments over offices over more of Heinen's on the first floor) and then the Truman Building (home of Geiger's and more)....

June 30, 20159 yr Ken Prendergast @KennyPeepers 34m34 minutes ago The Ivory (ex-Truman Bldg) on Euclid Ave. @DowntownCLE was so neglected it had a tree growing from its roof.

June 30, 20159 yr Didn't the tree have its own Twitter account too? Still does... https://twitter.com/TrumanTree "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

July 2, 20159 yr If it was up to me and it was practical, I'd find it a transplant spot nearby, with a plaque. "This is what we had to bring this building back from...." Don't put it on Euclid. The tree mortality rate on Euclid is through the roof.
July 2, 20159 yr Don't put it on Euclid. The tree mortality rate on Euclid is through the roof. Was that an intended play on words? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 21, 20159 yr With the opening of Geiger's is this project nearing completion or are there some apartments that are not yet completed? http://www.cleveland19.com/story/30310572/geigers-will-open-new-store-on-euclid-in-old-ivory-building

How is one "extremely homeless" as opposed to moderately or lightly homeless?
October 21, 20159 yr ^ Good question. And I live downtown, but I am neither homeless, nor even close to being rich.
October 21, 20159 yr ^ Good question. And I live downtown, but I am neither homeless, nor even close to being rich. Samesies
October 21, 20159 yr Quote from the article: "No one is going to afford this, especially not the crowd you see downtown Cleveland because downtown Cleveland is a bunch of extremely homeless people or extremely rich," said another downtown resident. Man Oh man, there are seriously some dumb people in this world...

Man Oh man, there are seriously some dumb people in this world... Usually I like to use the term "misinformed", but I think your terminology is accurate in this instance. Hmm, and there are already two in greater Cleveland, so I think the would understand the market well enough to make an informed decision.
October 22, 20159 yr The market for downtown retail is not limited to downtown. Right, just like all of the restaurants are only frequented by people that live there.
October 22, 20159 yr ^I don't know if that is such a good analogy. Restaurants are frequented often during a "night on the town" and many downtown restaurants and their ambience/experience simply can't be duplicated in many suburban areas. It's difficult to say the same about retail, especially when talking about retail which will draw in the people that don't live downtown. Certainly, downtown retail is not limited to downtown residents, but it is much moreso than downtown entertainment IMHO.
November 10, 20159 yr Geiger's to open Nov. 12 http://www.cleveland.com/mycleveland/index.ssf/2015/11/geigers_count_on_downtown_for.html#incart_river_home

Certainly, downtown retail is not limited to downtown residents, but it is much moreso than downtown entertainment IMHO. I'll agree with that to a degree, but It also depends on the store and restaurant. If Zara opened downtown, the entire market area would go versus if target or Home Depot opened, just downtown residents would go. Same could be said that suburban residents go to Greenhouse Tavern. However, in the case of Chipoltle, only downtown residents and office employees go. It's all about what's a destination store, and what's a market satisfaction store. In Cleveland, generally speaking, destination stores reach for the suburbs first, and unfortunately it is perceived that our market can only handle one of them. All that said, my next prediction for downtown retail would be a Second Sole in the general location of Heinens and Geigers. I think it would be a good addition.
