Oh I am definitely happy about the improvement! Love the added residents as well. The building itself looks great. Now lets just get that lot filled in and everything would be great!

It'll look less strange if they ever put up the penthouse level, but I'm doubtful that will actually happen.

Ladies with the management told me the other day the plans for constructing the ninth floor are kaput.

I wish they would wrap the upper facade around the sides somehow.  It looks great when viewed directly from the front, but looking west down Euclid, you can see it's a false front and the lateral supports in place...  kinda cheesey

I've gotta believe they never really intended to built it then.  This apartment building has been a massive success and if they can't construct the additional floor with that kind of demand then they probably never intended to in the first place.  Sure, credit is tight... but it's not THAT tight.  Especially for projects that have already shown success.

They essentially "bought the project" and initial plans. The initial renderings which showed the penthouse floor were drawn by another architect. They bought in their own guy after they acquired the property and moved forward with their own vision which obviously didn't include the penthouse. Like I said, I'm just rather surprised SHPO allowed it particuarly after the fuss they made about the storefronts.

The golf place on the Prospect side of 668 appears to be gone.  Is that a recent development (or un-development as the case may be)?  I also read in another thread that Zinc bit the dust and is being replaced.

The old golf place will become a coffee shop. A large one at that--with some room for live music.

Good. I'm pissed that in less than a month after I moved into the City Club building, the coffee shop closed for a damn noodle place.

There's always another coffee place. There's only one Noodlecat. :)

Then take the noodles to 668 and leave me the coffee shop.

I think you two might be talking about different noodle places.  Wouldn't this coffee shop be closer than Noodlecat to the City Club Bldg?

^ I was going to say the same thing. The coffee shop that I believe kjp is talking about was that tiny walk in arabica. Noodlecat is in the wt grant building(something like that) in Teresa pizzas old space.

Arabica did have a small walk-in space in the City Club. There was a sign on it after Arabica closed which said a noodles joint was coming in January and there were renovations going on before and after Christmas. But no noodles place has opened yet.

Yep, I saw it today. The sign is awesome! It shows a pickle climbing Terminal Tower. But they still aren't open.

At last nights Downtown Residents Association happy hour I found out there's a rumour going through 668 that they are going condo once K&D completes some of the apartment conversions...sounds like more to come!!

^The units cannot go condo for at least five years after they opened because they were built using federal historic tax credits.

I thought it was seven years?

Either way, it's not going to happen for a while. The renovations weren't completed until 2010 (I even looked back through this thread to be sure!).
