That's just the underlying aerial photograph. I always figured that the Society building (the 3D model) and the rest of Key Center was created as one big model so it showing up on it's own is a surprise.

Thanks TBideon. Strange they have to take it down for renovations, one would think they could just swap a new one in at any time.

There is something big going up in Northfield Road between Ellacott Parkway and Emery Road right across from Thistledown. I never heard anything about it but construction is going on and it's slated to open next year in May (I think. I was driving by it). It's a retail development of some sorts that from the posters outside the construction site sort of looks like Legacy Village albeit a much smaller scale. Anyone have information on this?

Was it the new library branch?

Came across this today, and thought some perspective might be worthwhile. It's wonderful to see so many active projects moving forward in Cleveland and there is much cause to be optimistic. However, there's still a long way to go and, as an advocate for working toward change, I like to remind others to do more than just post on the forum whenever you can get involved.

Two months before the economy collapsed this ran in the PD, accompanied with great art.

New Construction E.14/Carnegie I went to the Indians game tonite and I parked in one of those lots south of the Wolstein Center by E.14 and Carnegie. One of those old warehouses was torn down and there is a fenced-in construction site. Does anyone know if something is being built there or is this site a site for the innerbelt bridge construction materials?

Hts121 · « **Reply #3247 on:** May 14, 2011, 12:53:32 AM »

A staging area for the bridge project is probably a good guess. That whole stretch of carnegie is in for some changes - http://www.dot.state.oh.us/projects/ClevelandUrbanCoreProjects/Innerbelt/Documents/CG%20large_10-21-10sm.pdf

Does anyone think anything new will come out of this announcement or is this just a summary of current projects?

I gave a friend from out of town a mini walking tour of downtown yesterday after the baseball game and noticed some type of contruction (saws buzzing wood on top of saw horses) in this building on West 9th...

Does anyone have any idea what is potentially going in here? I would assume a bar/restaurant given the location but I have no idea, just happy to see something happening here. Not sure if the embedded map is working so I also attached an image.

roserob · « **Reply #3251 on:** May 23, 2011, 11:26:37 AM »

I've always looked at that building as an ideal yet unique location for commercial space every time I've been at Phoenix.

T7,

I was told yesterday that a hibachi grill in going in there.

On another note, does anyone know when the rotating bridge going over to the West Bank of the Flats is going to be finished?

Hootenany · « **Reply #3253 on:** May 23, 2011, 02:39:55 PM »

^The center street bridge has been closed since last July. Repairs were supposed to take about a year. Look for it to reopen sometime this summer. Although I don't see much work going on when I go by on evenings and weekends. Anyone have a sense of how much work is currently being done on site?

Work is supposed to be completed on June 30, but I don't know if they're still on schedule.

Alright guys, I got a (small) random development to announce - I just purchased this building on Cedar Road in Cleveland Heights right near Melt. I am going to replace the storefronts and gut the inside. There are two storefronts - one is about 1,000 sf the other is about 2,500 sf. I am having a "commercial garage sale" this weekend to get rid of the stuff that was left inside. I don't have tenants yet, so please let me know if you know of anyone looking for space in CH. Here is the link for the garage sale:

(Image removed from quote.)

So things are moving along for me, albeit slowly. I got an architect working on storefront renderings, just had a plumber fix the gas leak, and have some demo guys coming next weeks. I've also had some calls and a few tours. I get a lot of calls about nail and hair salons but I want something different. We have enough f'in salons in CH! Matt Fish is trying to get a tattoo shop in the neighborhood. I have had talked to a few prospects that would be awesome for the neighborhood, but nothing yet. We shall see, hopefully I can bring some cool tenants to the neighborhood! If anyone kwons any good tenants, let me know.

Man, come to think of it, I'm an idiot. I rented a fisheye lens a couple weeks ago and took some shots from terminal tower observation deck (pics coming, bad weather day, but got to go on outside deck) and my bro-in-laws new restaurant (SoHo on W 25th - only got some before shots since construction hasn't started), but never stopped in at my building for some good fisheye interior shots. The lens had some serous wide angle. I will take some regular ones before the demo anyways.

New sign on Public Square: Huntington Bank regional headquarters
Published: Friday, June 03, 2011, 7:36 PM Updated: Friday, June 03, 2011, 10:44 PM

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The skyscraper at 200 Public Square, known as the BP building, finally has a name and logo after more than a decade.
Huntington Bank on Friday unveiled the signage at its new Greater Cleveland regional headquarters in the 45-story office tower in downtown Cleveland during a ceremony at the historic Soldiers' and Sailor's Monument on Public Square.

So I want to know whats going to happen to the old Huntington Building! We don't need another empty building on that corner. Any news?

MayDay · « **Reply #3261 on:** June 04, 2011, 06:53:14 AM »

^Looks like they're also swapping out the building's lighting system. Last night I think they were doing a test run; the lower section had no lights on (not sure if that's permanent) but the upper setbacks were cycling through green, purple, etc. and at one point they had *every* color of the rainbow (I was joking it was a pre-ceremonial honor for the Gay Games

)

The top half was lit up with green last night during the fireworks show at The Jake. It was pretty spectacular.

The new lights are pretty neat and very colorful...I was surprised how much of a difference it made...

I know it is expensive to light things, but I wish Cleveland did a better job at it...There are nights I want to tape a flashlight to the guardians so there are some kind of light on them...

I know what you mean, but lighting the guardians is budgeted for - as a part of the Hope Memorial bridge improvements that are part of the bigger innerbelt bridge project.

Geez, how about replacing the low battery flashlight they have aimed at "Venus" on the corner of the Federal Courthouse; the cornice could certainly use a wattage goose as well. The lighting of this building looks like a tacked on afterthought.

bumsquare · « **Reply #3267 on:** June 05, 2011, 08:43:39 PM »

I believe there was an effort by the CMNH to reduce the lighting on skyscrapers to reduce bird collisions.

There is a Smart Lights/Safe Flights initiative that many local buildings have adopted during the spring and fall bird migrations that was championed by CMNH where building lights are kept off during migration periods. Many other cities in the midwest have adopted the same program

X · « **Reply #3269 on:** June 05, 2011, 11:53:51 PM »

I'd actually like to see less, but more thoughtfully placed skyline lighting. We dump a tremendous amount of wasted light up into the sky. It'd be nice to see the stars- though that may be too much to ask Downtown- it's a regional issue.
