Another public meeting announcement for the Giant Eagle site, this time on the Short North Civic Association FB page:

^^I'm not really sure what they are proposing for parking. Seeing a site plan would help.

Tucked into the 2nd Ave article is news about one of the empty buildings I noted back in January: https://www.columbusunderground.com/175-unit-apartment-complex-proposed-for-italian-village-bw1

Seems like the commission isn’t opposed t the massing as long as it looks good architecturally. I like it!

That's the hotel, not apartments.

^I don't think the NIMBY's would allow a tower. What about the sun?!?

Hmmm, very interesting. From the Harrison West Society facebook page:

There's a little wishful thinking on the rendering!

^There was a demolition permit issued for the one story frame and two story brick behind it on the right side of the photo above. It was due to a fire on the 2nd floor and unsafe conditions throughout. Both have been leveled and replaced with gravel. I couldn't find anything about a replacement or any plans for a replacement.

Steel erection underway.

^The two story brick office building at High and Tompkins is demolished.

^Nice cars!

Crane installation will happen this weekend. https://fod.osu.edu/college_07

It’s a huge garage.

^It'll have to be self-climbing. I read somewhere that the tallest unsupported height can be 265' - anything taller needs to be tied to the building.

I noticed what looked like tower crane foundation construction on the sidewalk just north of the High St. viaduct. That might be the only place for a crane since most of the site is comprised of bridges and the building will fill in the entire void between the existing buildings and bridges.

^Another out of date photo from CU.

^Not yet. There is a tower crane base installed at the Arts District project.

Also, public buildings should have public exterior space as well. City Hall and the Statehouse have it, so should the County.

^I agree. Columbus is woefully behind other cities in parks. https://radio.wosu.org/post/columbus-loses-points-quality-public-parks#stream/0

They will clear cut most of the site.

It's the fake store name on the rendering.

Nice! That's the first Anton Garm in the midwest!

This particular project is densification. Other projects in the area are infill, some by the same developer. Is it infill when an apartment block is built on a former one story commercial building with a huge parking lot?

Here's a project that slipped under the radar. The densification of Broadview Ave. continues. The two story apartment court behind Big Lots has been demolished and a 3-4 story apartment building on top of a parking garage is under construction. Looks like there are townhomes fronting Broadview. The project address is 1471 Ida Ave. There have been a lot of these infill projects in this area and around the Chambers Rd. Kroger. I believe the project is known as The Broadview, Phase 2 and is being developed by Avenue Partners https://www.avenuepartners.com/the-broadview-phase-2 Here's the Broadview side of the project:
