Looks nice on the inside. Too bad there wasn't protection provided for the mature maple trees along Arcadia. The contractor ran roughshod over the site killing the trees. I drive by the site every day and watched it happen.

^There's another helipad on the old hospital building - it was constructed when the Ross Heart Hospital was built.

^^Considering the length of the building I would suspect there will be two tower cranes.

^One could be Verizon and the other AT&T or T-mobile. The City has no say as to where they are located and how they look. The telecom industry successfully lobbied the Ohio legislature into banning any oversight by municipalities or residents.

One 5G provider uses a nice pole and another a crappy wood pole.

^That's my understanding as well. This project has been discussed in the Harrison West thread.

New Skatepark, Other Improvements Planned for Tuttle Park https://www.columbusunderground.com/new-skate-park-other-improvements-planned-for-tuttle-park-bw1

Looks like OSU repurposed the limestone sign from the old building on Woodruff.

^^There’s a better selection of pigs feet at the Parsons Kroger than the Brewery District location.

^There's a Kroger at Parsons and Moler - Is that too far away?

^Hopefully the stadium will warrant a fully signalized intersection at Hanover and Spring/Long. The foundations are all in - just need the poles.

A few photos of the Ohio Pen I took in 1985. It was empty then, all prisoners had been moved out by 1982. Main facade on Spring Street. Note the new concrete block on the white building on the right. This is where Mayor Buck Reinhart started demolishing the building before the State stopped him: The Neil Ave wall from Spring St looking north: This is at Nationwide and West looking southwest. I'm standing right about where Boston's is now: Here's the main facade during the Columbus 500 in 1985:

Thanks for the photos. I must say I like the High St. commercial building better than the residential portion. At first I thought the doors were boarded up but it looks like it's a wood trim accent.

^The Byers site is owned by Nationwide and nothing has been announced for that property. 567-575 is next door. Thanks for all your photos!

That’s Wexner’s influence. The never ending construction started when I was in school with the Wexner Center for the Arts (completed 1989). It’s on steroids now with the hospital and west campus projects.

^Looks like this project eliminates Drake Union.

The Gowdy Field buildings are built on a landfill making construction very expensive. I recall reading the buildings are on piers 80' deep so they won't sink. That's why Olentangy River Road has dips in it - the road keeps sinking.

Looks like a preliminary rendering from a Revit model. Hopefully we’ll see better renderings as the project progresses.

^My understanding is that's the construction yard for the OSU power plant project.

Like I said earlier, it reminds me of a shorter Prora (the Nazi resort on the Baltic Sea) but with more articulation.

^That's a nice project. It included the renovation of the row house just east of High on Tompkins. I would love to see similar infill on the O'Reilly auto parts site, the Goodwill parking lot, the strip mall at Blake and eventually the two gas station sites and Taco Bell.

^The HVAC work is on the roof of State Auto next door.
