Good news from the construction site this Election Day: Summit County approved our underground plumbing inspection this morning.

With the inspection complete, the Blackhaus crew is covering the plumbing lines so we can continue moving toward the interior floor. We also installed solids separators for the kitchen grease system and the brewery drains, two important pieces of infrastructure that will eventually disappear beneath the building.

Work is also continuing on the retaining wall along the south side of the property. As the crew worked through that area, we uncovered another section of the old parking lot, so there is some additional pavement to break up and remove before the wall can be completed.

Most of today’s progress will eventually be hidden from view, but it represents another important step forward for World City Brewing.

And one nonpartisan Election Day reminder: if you haven’t already, get out and vote!

Some of the most important progress happens below the surface.

This week, the Blackhaus crew is installing the underground plumbing at World City Brewing. Once the floor is poured, most of this work will never be seen again, but it is a critical step in bringing the building together.

Thanks to Jeff and the entire crew for keeping things moving. Another busy week at World City! Grateful to have this crew bringing our future home to life!

People sometimes ask what I do on my days off. At this point, I’m not sure I have days off.

When I’m away from the pizzeria, I’m usually working on something for World City, whether that happens behind a computer or at the construction site. Today, I had the chance to work alongside the Blackhaus crew as we removed the ICF bracing, cleaned up the site and installed dimple membrane around the foundation to help manage water and protect the building.

I’m certainly not the construction expert, but I enjoy getting my hands dirty and spending time with the guys. If carrying materials, cleaning up or handling a small task takes even a little work off their plates, I’m happy to do it.

There may not be many days off right now, but getting to help build World City makes every one of them worthwhile.

Big day at World City Brewing! The first section of our ICF walls was poured today, and everything went smoothly. No issues, no blowouts, just a great day of work by the crew.

Jeff from Blackhaus Construction takes you through the progress in this walkthrough. Tomorrow, the plan is to remove the interior bracing so work can begin on the interior building pad and the underground electrical and plumbing infrastructure.

Huge thanks to Jeff, Kyle from Blackhaus Construction and everyone who helped make today’s pour a success. Seeing these walls take shape makes this whole thing feel a little more real. Lots happening on site this week!

Here’s three weeks of progress at World City Brewing in about 42 seconds.

We began by rolling and compacting the building pad. During that work, we uncovered some of the old Richfield Family Restaurant footings beneath the site.

Once the pad was complete, the crew dug the new footing trenches. A rainstorm and inspection delay forced us to cover the trenches temporarily, but we passed inspection and got the footings poured.

From there, the ICF walls began going up while excavation started for the underground detention system that will serve the parking lot.

Three weeks ago, this was a cleared building pad. Today, about half of the wall structure is in place, and the shape of the brewery is finally becoming visible.

There’s still a long way to go, but the progress is exciting to watch.

Checked out Little Lit in Broadview Heights. Just stopped in for some cocktails, and they were solid. Next time will eat for sure. Love Literary Tavern in Tremont, and excited to have Little Lit nearby!

It is crazy to think that these styrofoam block will become to walls for World City Brewing. First run today, should have the first 5 feet of wall structure up tomorrow.

When Maggie and Fred first showed me their design for World City Brewing, I was blown away by what they had created.

We came to Young Design Studio with a long list of requirements and some firm constraints, including keeping the building’s footprint. They took all of that and created a modern, distinctive building with a concept behind it that I immediately loved. They saw possibilities I hadn’t imagined.

In Part Two of our visit, Maggie and Fred share the thinking behind the design, some of its unique elements and the challenges they worked through along the way.

Their creativity and thoughtful problem solving have shaped what World City will become. I’m excited for you to hear their perspective and see more of the work that made me so eager to build this place.

I often see people in our local Facebook groups asking for recommendations for their next project. That’s part of why I wanted to share these videos. When you find talented people you trust, you want others to know about them.

If you’re considering a project that could use an architect’s perspective, give Maggie, Fred and the team at Young Design Studio a call. I’m trusting them with World City, and I’d be happy to make the introduction.

World City Brewing is all about connections, and some of the most important ones so far have been with the people helping bring it to life.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be introducing you to a few of those partners. First up, Maggie and Fred from Young Design Studio in Lakewood.

I stopped by their office to give you a chance to meet them and hear a little about the studio and their work. They’ve been an important part of turning our ideas for World City into a place we can actually build, and I’m excited for you to get to know them.

In Part Two, we’ll take a closer look at the vision for the brewery and the thinking behind its interior and exterior design.

If you have a project in mind, take a look at Young Design Studio’s work and consider reaching out. I’m trusting them with World City, and I’m glad we connected. www.youngdesignstudio.com
