• Another historic downtown building faces demolition (neo-trans.blog) — A developer is seeking to demolish Cleveland's historic Herold Building on Prospect Avenue, apparently for an interim parking lot. The building has been condemned since 2010. Independence-based broker Rico Pietro says high construction costs and interest rates make redevelopment difficult, even as nearby Rock Block construction advances.
