This is a HUGE missing link along Euclid that will drastically change the atmosphere once it's finished. I moved here about three years ago, between this and CAC/Athlon its crazy how great this is. Like, plastic fluttering in the wind/vacant goliaths were such a bad look for a downtown...so glad it'll be a thing of the past in the very near future!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLE_Millennial Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I love seeing everyone flock into downtown again! The next few years are going to be fun. I'm also getting an apartment (hopefully at the Beacon) after I graduate from CSU in May. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lafont Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Would have been slightly more interesting if restoration would have gone back to ORIGINAL dates, but I realize trying to duplicate those would require still more time and moneys, so I'm thrilled the Beaux-Arts look of the '20s will one more grace this section of The Avenue..... When is project completion currently anticipated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who lives in PHS must walk in the street around the barricades to get to and from Heinen’s. In Chicago last fall I noted every construction project allowed pedestrians a sidewalk. Also, I didn't see a single push-button "walk" signal. I was in many districts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty15 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 The Statler has a few long dormant retail spots that are going live as well. The whole first floor inside facing Euclid is getting demo’d currently. One large space, 3 smaller ones. Copper Moon coffee shop took the first small spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclifton88 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I am really impressed with how quickly they seem to restoring the middle two sections of the building... they've already been cleaned and seem to be restoring the detailing that was damaged.

No, the credits wouldn't require anything to be changed. But if the developer does elect to make changes, the design must meet federal rehabilitation standards. 43 minutes ago, mack34 said: They re adding another level of Windows.......

StapHanger Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Ah, got it. In this case, a previous owner (and original credit applicant, I believe) ripped off the post-war skin installed on half the building and the developer plans to restore the facade of the whole thing to what it looked like before modernization (though still not the original facade).

roman totale XVII Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 ^ That tour of Euclid Ave in 2008 is a wonderful reminder of how far things have come. It’s also a useful reminder of what the average Cleveland.com poster has in their head when spouting their logorrhea about downtown. 9 1 My hovercraft is full of eels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even uglier than the old JHB, and much larger and more prominent. It's just stunning that anyone ever thought that was an improvement. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
