The Avenue District Site 1: Construction Milestones for December 2007

Throughout the next month, construction of The Avenue District Building 1 at 1211 St. Clair Ave. is expected to reach the ninth floor. The foundation of the parking garage and other underground construction will continue throughout the month. The first phase of installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment and risers, will start at the lower levels.

Simultaneously with the interior mechanical work, installation will start on building skin materials, including: brick, stone, metal, panels and windows, at the lower levels. Weather will play a major role in progress as the winter months approach.


On Nov. 29, the Plain Dealer featured a construction photo of Site 1 with the headline “Up Against the Wind.” The color photo appeared in the middle page B10 of the Metro Section, with the caption reading: “Despite Tuesday’s windy weather, ironworkers continued work on The Avenue District…”
