Klingaling87 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Driving into Cleveland tonight on 77 i noticed there was a crane behind the baseball stadium. It kind of looked like the yellow crane but hoisted high. It was also behind the At&t building if that helps out with perspective. I'm thinking that 515 shouldn't be that viewable from I77 though. What crane would that be? It was that crane. You'll be able to see 515 from 77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audidave Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Very cool! I wasn't expecting to see anything in the air today. So that crane is going to be building the other crane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tastybunns Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Robert L Stark from Stark Enterprises. Its the same developer developing nuCLEus across the Q.

KJP Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This is pretty cool event to take advantage of Euclid Avenue being closed for the construction of the crane to build the new apartment tower. Play Join us from 11 am – 2 pm every day, Wednesday, September 13th through Friday, September 15th for a unique public experience. Listen to live music while riding a UH Bike around a demonstration midway-style bike lane. Play some lawn games while in town for an Indian’s game. Enjoy your lunch of delicious local food while playing an over-sized version of Jenga. Or simply grab a chair and people watch. Anything goes this week. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A press release... See: https://playeuclid.wordpress.com/ Contact Thomas Starinsky Associate Director Historic Gateway Neighborhood Corporation [email protected] 216.325.0937 What is the “Play Euclid”? • “Play Euclid” is a three-day event taking place during lunch hours – from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. – while Euclid Avenue (between East 4th Street and E Roadway) is closed to vehicular traffic for construction. • The street will be open for pedestrians, offering different activities and live music entertainment. Locals and visitors will also still be able to stop in the businesses in the area while the street is closed. Why is this being done? • As a result of Euclid Avenue being closed for the start of construction on The Beacon (515 Euclid Ave.) during the week of September 11, local organizations wanted to utilize this opportunity to do something fun and interesting in the area. • Groups also wanted to leverage this opportunity to offer more visibility for Downtown Cleveland businesses. • By making this portion of the street accessible for pedestrians, it not only offers entertainment during lunch hours, but it gives people the opportunity to explore the businesses in the district, as well. What kind of activities will locals and visitors find at “Play Euclid”? • There will be a variety of activities offered at “Play Euclid” for locals and visitors. • LAND Studio is providing lawn games and Crackling Art frog sculptures. • Destination Cleveland will offer photo opportunities with its mini #ThisisCLE sign, as well as Giant Connect Four and Giant Jenga, outside of the Cleveland Visitors Center. • UH Bikes will set up a temporary bike station where visitors can obtain a card for a free 30-minute bike rental. • Live music entertainment will also be provided while guests walk around the area. Who is involved with “Play Euclid”? • This collaborative effort was spearheaded by the Historic Gateway Neighborhood Corporation who engaged the following groups organizations that worked hard to put together this event in two weeks’ time: City of Cleveland, Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Destination Cleveland, Bike Cleveland, UH Bikes, LAND Studio, Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative and Trust for Public Land. When and where is “Play Euclid” taking place? • “Play Euclid” is taking place Wednesday, Sept. 13 – Friday Sept. 15, 11 a.m. – 2p.m. It will be held on Euclid Avenue from E 4th Street to E Roadway in Downtown Cleveland’s Historic Gateway District. ### “What is the meaning of this city?

KJP Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Watching the Indians game today, the construction crane is very visible in most views.

fgerlak Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Looks like the construction crane is within the boundaries of the building. That creates a shaft within the building that must be put to use after the crane is removed. Could be the itility uptake and maybe an elevator bank.
