April 7, 20205 yr Does everyone know about these two brand new houses at the end of East 124th Place? Therw's a "for sale" sign by Mayfield, But once they're sold and the signs ar removed I think they'll become somewhat of a Little Italy secret.

Wandered back there to have a look around, and ended up talking to the developer/owner.
May 3, 20205 yr Mayfield Lofts is getting pretty close to being finished. Random Road Lofts has seven condos still available, IIRC from the sign by the front door.

May 14, 20205 yr I first started coming to Cle for an ex who lived in LI about 4-5 years ago. Crazy how much has been built in this area in just that short amount of time. I swear every time my family comes to visit there's new builds everywhere around the city and it's probably hard for them to put a finger on what areas they've seen and have been to. I guess I'll have to reintroduce Little Italy to them next visit lol

Truly surprised every time I go back to Cleveland how much has changed in such a short period of time. Uptown was only in its infancy when I was a freshman at CSU about 10 years ago - surface parking lots to be exact. Very exciting times in Cleveland!

May 19, 20205 yr WOW. I pay pretty close to that for more than double the space downtown. Demand must be good- if I didn't live downtown I would definitely like living in that area. Nice to see a development that can truly be called TOD, and embrace the RTA station in their branding and descriptions.

Imagine how much more substantial this project could have been if the owner of that stupid parking lot next to it had been willing to sell or partner. Oh well, still a great project. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
May 19, 20205 yr I like the photos of the project on the Mayfield Station website, but I can't stand the generic "young, hip people" pictures every development company puts on their websites, lol. Especially since the pictures were obviously not taken in Cleveland and have nothing to do with the project.
May 19, 20205 yr Honestly, what do you expect? Should their marketing images say, "Pay top dollar for a 400 sq ft studio and be surrounded by a bunch of schlubs!" Every business advertises using people called "models" who get paid to look better than you or me.

My pet peeve, which I thought I made pretty clear, was that I don't like the generic stock photos which look the same from development website to development website. It's lazy. Also, I'd rather see shots of the building than a bunch of shots of people that will never be my neighbors, no matter how attractive they may be. It's a great building and glad to see the density.

In my experience many developers are very good with numbers but not as good with sophisticated marketing. I bet your pet peeve is picking up on that.

That being said, the most important thing is that buildings are getting built in Little Italy regardless of the marketing acumen. I'm looking forward to eventual for-sale builds rather than rentals.

So you're saying Cleveland developers aren't "Sheik" enough (Zaremba Avenue Dist), or don't bring enough of that "South Beach flair" (Optima/Oligarch Ventures) ? Anyhow those rents would appear to bode well for even more infill. Good stuff! Edited May 20, 20205 yr by surfohio
May 20, 20205 yr ^At least we get World Class Signage. According to the website, these are furnished units, no? I wonder if that's what gets the big rents. Turn key living quarters for ~1 year UC workers and grad students/post docs, etc.

Beacon is from Stark who, by the way, appears a little better prepared on the marketing front and a little more poorly prepared on the numbers front than the typical developer I mentioned above. ? Anyhow, that's all I will say before this gets too derailed.
June 4, 20205 yr THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2020 Work began today for Baricelli Inn Apartments in Little Italy Demolition work got underway earlier today to clear the way for the 44-unit Baricelli Inn Apartments in Cleveland's Little Italy neighborhood. The project has traveled a long road to get to this point but is finally moving forward. A pair of three-story rental homes at 2189 and 2193 Cornell Road were being razed, work that should take only a matter of hours. It will make way for site preparation to begin for the luxury apartments being developed by M. Panzica Development owned by Michael Panzica and City Six Development owned by Brad Nosan.

June 4, 20205 yr Glad to see this going ahead finally! And frustrating that the city allowed competing apartment owners to block a project for so long.
June 4, 20205 yr Why am I not surprised that KJP got this new up before I wandered down the block to snap a picture. Saw some heavy equipment roll in last night. Work commenced with removal of portions of the Washington Place Inn parking lot -- starting in the back corner.
June 4, 20205 yr Hope they do something nice with Baricelli/Washing Place Inn. Its a great space inside and has a wonderful patio outside.
June 4, 20205 yr Is it know if the renovation of those three buildings on Murrary Hill Road is still part of the project, and, if yes if they will be worked on at the same time as the construction of the apartment building or will be left as part of a Phase 2? It is my feeling that a great renovation of those buildings is as important as the new construction and might lead to quality renos of many of the other sh*tholes in LI.

On June 2nd, certificates of disclosures were posted online for the three buildings with Panzica as the listed buyer. So definitely still part of the project, and last I remember, they were supposed to be all part of the same phase.
June 4, 20205 yr What a long and bloody road up to this point. I'm glad to see the developers stuck with it though instead of saying F this. I almost just said its a great looking design that will fit in nicely with the neighborhood, but that's not true. Its a great looking design that will look almost out of place with many current neighborhood properties. Hopefully this construction, along with the reno of the three neighboring houses as part of the project, will be push the neighborhood along and push the cheap vinyl out to Chesterland.
June 22, 20204 yr Significant renovations proposed to a house into multi-family apartments. Value of the renovations to 2117 Murray Hill Rd are estimated at at least $400,000. Sounds like Panzica's Baricelli Inn development is already having a positive impact.

June 26, 20204 yr Is Mayfield Station (apartments) open yet? I thought it was almost done---but now I'm seeing on their website that they were leasing for Summer 2019... "Welcome to Mayfield Station Apartments in Cleveland, Ohio! Located at the intersection of Little Italy and University Circle, Mayfield Station is now leasing for Summer 2019 occupancy!" https://www.mayfieldstation.com/
June 26, 20204 yr Based on what I saw a couple of weeks ago, I'd say that they'll be ready in time for the Fall Semester, if there is one. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 26, 20204 yr I believe leasing already started at the beginning of the month. A couple units based on their balconies look lived in already. A lot of students just won't be showing up till needed for classes. And yes, there will be a fall semester on campus; however, it's shortened. It ends Thanksgiving week and then finals will be done online.

July 9, 20204 yr The Case dorm project at Murray Hill and Adelbert has been shelved indefinitely. To the point that Donley’s had, and lost the contract. Covid fatality. And there’s talk that Case may not, or will not have students on campus this fall. Edited July 9, 20204 yr by marty15

July 9, 20204 yr THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2020 Pandemic quarantines CWRU development Construction of several residence halls at Case Western Reserve University has been put on hold indefinitely, another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fiscal uncertainties that surround it. Construction on the first phase of the $72+ million multi-phased project was due to start in early 2021. Christopher Panichi, CWRU's director of planning, design and construction confirmed today that the expansion of the South Residential Village at Murray Hill and Adelbert roads has been halted.
