Just moving right along. Impressive speed. Tuller Flats is just about complete, too. 420 apartments and town homes. This will be quite a dense area. A small version of what Easton could have been. 34,000 square foot grocer is the same size as the one they're looking at for the Battelle Property. Whole Foods, Lucky's, Fresh Thyme, and Raisin Rack are about that size. Wonder who they're courting? Where will the arena/event center go? North of this latest phase? You'd think they'd want it by the AC Hotel. Looks like they're trying to get a satellite North Market location instead of a full-service grocer: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2018/10/02/why-the-north-market-and-dublins-bridge-park-think.html?ana=e_mc_prem&s=newsletter&ed=2018-10-02&u=sdiiufQzYQR8ALZwPjV8Ow0afe3a99&t=1538486200&j=84148281

I know at the time it was originally planned the "Lifestyle Center" concept was still just that and was unproven, but I wonder why they didn't mix the uses a little more. Like have the office space above the outdoor retail? Same with the apartments? Was it zoning? Instead you have your mall section, the residential section and office section segregated. I think if I was planning this place and the uses had to be separate like that I would put the retail in between the residential and office uses. That would require people walking to work from their on site home to maybe stop in at the stores on their way to or from work. The developer of Easton has mentioned in recent interviews how he regrets not integrating uses more. It hadn't really been proven successful in suburban locations, and even this "lifestyle center" was a risk at the time. Going forward hopefully new stuff is integrated more, and maybe as time goes by and things need "refreshed" existing buildings can be retrofitted for more mixed-uses.

Having Lake Erie benefitted Cleveland's density. Not sure how you could argue otherwise.

Convention center's new garage designed to 'flow' with the wind "Designers say the 650-space parking garage that will serve the Greater Columbus Convention Center will feature a mesh exterior that moves with the wind. Schooley Caldwell Architects is refining plans for the Ohio Center Garage that will serve the convention center and the planned expansion of the Hilton Columbus Downtown hotel next door. Notably, the new drawings include a “flowing” facade." https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2018/09/26/convention-center-garage-designed-to-flow-with-the.html?ana=e_me_set1&s=newsletter&ed=2018-09-26&u=8jkupSw9zIRhc%2BySqW4WOQ0354f4c7&t=1537964020&j=84038991

River & Rich ushers in new apartments, retailers to Franklinton "Final touches are being put on an eight-building apartment complex in Franklinton, the first of what is expected to be several large new projects in the Downtown neighborhood west of the Scioto River. The five-story River & Rich, 401 W. Rich St., includes 233 apartments above 25,000 square feet of first-floor retail space." http://www.thisweeknews.com/news/20180920/river-amp-rich-ushers-in-new-apartments-retailers-to-franklinton

Looks like this is called Valencia on High: https://valenciashortnorth.com/ $995-$1295 for 558-668sqft.

No, but he posted two months ago that Market Tower would be taller than previously proposed, and that renderings were soon to be revealed.

From street level: Across the street (Detroit Ave) they rehabbed an industrial building. Before: After: As you can see, this is one block West of the Budd Dairy project.

Nice find, Gnoraa! It looks better IMO. Not only is it taller, it seems less slender as well. The brick part closest to Park St. looks like it might be a hotel.

Another Instagram photo:

That aerial is probably over one year old. It's missing several under construction and even completed buildings. Also, 3rd Ave has been one way westbound for at least six months now for the RR bridge construction.

This looks like a dorm. I suppose it is as close to a dorm as you'll get with all micro units. I'm thinking their development on Oak St. downtown will be using these same panels, but brighter red. Nervous about that now that I see this.

Another view of the 800 North High project. Finally something that's not a cube!

The buildings are demolished, and the site is fenced off with about two feet excavated.

An updated rendering:

D'oh! You're right, I was just going by their FAA application project schedule dates. Thanks for reminding me I have a three day weekend!

Looks like work is scheduled to start next Monday, September 3rd. The crane will come shortly after.

Nonstop Seattle flight coming to Columbus’ John Glenn airport from Alaska Airlines "Columbus airport officials have landed a long-sought nonstop flight to Seattle that will launch early next year, filling in a key missing piece on the route map from John Glenn International Airport. An official announcement is expected this morning at the airport, but timetable information loaded into the Alaska Airlines website by late Tuesday showed a daily nonstop flight between Columbus and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport beginning in March." http://www.thisweeknews.com/business/20180829/nonstop-seattle-flight-coming-to-columbus-john-glenn-airport-from-alaska-airlines

Great news! Is the anchor tenant Wells Fargo?

The Chicago developers responsible for the Uncommon building here: https://www.urbanohio.com/forum/index.php/topic,3770.msg926933.html#msg926933 are bringing what sounds like a twin development to the Old North neighborhood. This would be a block South of the Pavey project, and a block North of Wilson Place at Lane and High. https://www.columbusunderground.com/mixed-use-proposal-in-old-north-would-require-demolition-of-six-buildings-bw1

Gravity 2.0 Proposal Calls for 12-Story Building, Co-Living Apartments https://www.columbusunderground.com/gravity-2-0-proposal-calls-for-12-story-building-bw1

Over three years later this site is finally cleared and construction has begun! They're up three floors on the elevator cores. Cap City also got a nice renovation.

https://www.columbusunderground.com/highcherry-apartment-building-plan-drops-to-seven-stories-we1 According to CU they also axed the retail. 42% fewer apartments and no retail, but they increased parking by more than double? The previously approved project should be the only thing allowed here, with minor variances. They demolished an existing building for the approved 11-story building.
