Yeah, but in architecture, size isn't everything. I agree with Mr. Eberhard (author of the Crain's article) that we should strive for something much better. Playhouse Square thrives on "place experience" and this building doesn't fit the place. I would be much happier with a building half the size but as ornate as the Keith building across the street. Or some kind of building that "advertises" theatre to highway travelers that would see it from a distance. What we (may) get is something that looks sterile, like a hospital or a bank.

Maybe if they light it up at night with neon (like the "green" building in Dallas, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_o..._Plaza_(Dallas), scroll down a bit) it might help.

Cleveland, once called the mistake on the lake, is on the cusp of cool - LA Times

Nothing wrong with a little love from the LA Times.

Not Cleveland (Lakewood). But there seems to be a flurry of mid-rise and high-rise building projects in the news lately. Imo I think what is needed to see Clevelands downtown explode is construction of a couple high-rise for sale condo towers.

I agree but before the city starts building massive condo's downtown, I feel we need to draw in a few big companies. There doesn't seem to be enough jobs out there to support all these people. Another grocery store would be nice as well.

Default High hopes for Midtown

<<
And the organization that Mandel and Roulston founded, now called MidTown Cleveland Inc., believes the district is ready to become a real neighborhood with stores and apartments for a generation that wants to live near where they work. The group recently implemented a new strategic plan to lay the groundwork for achieving that vision.


"We're trying to be a little more thoughtful about all the various pieces so it's not just a collection of businesses that people come and go to during the day," said Lloyd Bell, board chairman of MidTown Cleveland. "There's a burgeoning residential part of Midtown and, obviously, with new business attraction, it's a totally different place than it was a couple years ago."


Beyond wanting to oversee orderly new development, a key new goal of the organization is to connect Midtown to the neighborhoods around it — Hough, Fairfax and Central — and work to create employment opportunities for people in those neighborhoods.>>
