If I’m not mistaken I believe you’re correct, between 5-10k.

That would cost probably double what it would take to make it a basketball venue. The construction of the Covelli Center put the final dagger into St John. To my knowledge the new hockey specific arena will break ground in OSU’s next fiscal year. I forget exactly when that ends and begins but I’d tab it for spring ‘25.

Went by and looked at it, that’s for sure it. That entrance closed virtually leaves them without one, the exit will be onto Riverside.

Code violations can be found in nearly every building. I’m sure somewhere there’s language buried that if there’s enough it can make a building uninhabitable and therefore eligible for demo without stipulations.

It’s because of the business traffic from conventions and trade shows, everyone in their brother has to go to one during those for some reason.

Tommy’s Pizza is closing, have to imagine a developer came and offered them a significant amount of money for that property. Does anyone remember a proposal for it?

The problem isn’t the truck traffic as much as it is the trailer drop lot. However considering what that plant produces it would take a lot to entice them to move in my opinion.

Would be kind of cool if they turned them into Airbnbs and vip housing for the Arnold week.

To be fair we have had a ton of mid-rise as well in the past decade. All of what’s been built from High & Lane through downtown outside of the Hilton has been. Then you start looking at Grandview, UA, Childrens, two monstrosities at Wexner, Franklinton, OTE/KL, Jeffrey and various infills in SN/IV/VV. Our “core” has seen a lot of growth that sometimes I think we take for granted.

It’s only on the part of Henderson that has no businesses or frontage; past Reed it’s 35. *It should be noted that part is 45 or 50, so the people aren’t wrong.* The entirety of Bethel is 40 and every plaza/office building has almost 100% occupancy until you get to Walmart(only bc the movies closed down).

There have been rumors for a few years about the plaza at Henderson & Reed. Several empty businesses there in an area(Bethel & Henderson) that has little to no vacancy in all of those plazas.

I wasn’t saying I’d trade them for Cbus because I agree for the most part on the points made; we don’t have the tourism that they do and both are built on a less sustainable economic model. I guess I was just overwhelmed with the amount of height Austin has added. But Cleveland has even added significant height in the past decade and that metro isn’t growing, we’ve added the Hilton and Market Tower. I personally want it downtown which we are getting and they have; Rainey St pretty much looks like ‘Up’ right now. However Austin has added a lot of mid-rises as well, not just downtown but in the neighborhoods, we’ve also done a great job doing that. I think Franklinton, SN, Grandview and KL all looks way better than anything Nashville has put up, truthfully I shouldn’t have included them because they’re a mess. I do disagree that Austin’s isn’t quality work.

I’m slowly coming into this camp… I was just in Austin over the weekend for a graduation(first time since early 2020)… they’ve completely surpassed us, as has Nashville as far as height is concerned… we’ve done well with development and growth but in the grand scheme we’re still small time compared to them *to be fair I wouldn’t even put Charlotte into their camp… it’s Austin, Nashville, Miami… then Charlotte, Columbus and a city like Denver

Not very interactive… the beer store doesn’t even have windows… across the street has retail and a block away as well

There can’t be retail on every single block. Not every building in NYC and Chicago has retail. There are a ton of empty spots on High Street already.

While I don’t totally disagree, it was a foundry for over 100 years. That really limits what can be done without a very significant investment in cleaning up the site. You’re putting a lot of decent paying jobs close to low income areas, to me that’s a win.

Dublin is the old Powell. Although they have done a solid job recently with development, most leaves a lot to be desired.

I was definitely sad to see this happen.

so just because they aren’t wealthy means that their way of life doesn’t matter? Or that their natural surroundings don’t matter? To me solar farms look just as bad as stripmining, but I don’t think we want to go down that path. I’ve even said I’m not anti-solar. I just think that they are a scar on the land. There are many other ways and other locations that they can be placed versus in rural areas that contribute to food production, etc.

If you think ethanol is bed, check out what those panels are made from. Also I’d like to see some proof of the numbers being tossed around by the proponents of this solar farm. Multiple sources of energy in my opinion are necessary for us to be self sufficient rather than dependent on other not so favorable nations.

I’d throughly be shocked if that happened. I’ve been past several of these and been involved with a few(mainly because my customers were and I didn’t have a choice). None of them have come close to what was depicted in that picture, mostly because they need the row for repairing the panels.

This wouldn’t be bad either.

I think specifically because it’s a horrible use of land. I personally would rather see it go on brownfield properties such as those old coal plants or warehouse roofs or parking lots as you mentioned versus fertile farmland.

My thing for the past 3 years after I read an article is to put these on top of all these spec warehouses that are being built. There are millions of unused acreage on those things that could produce much more and closer to where it’s needed than these rural ones.
