Here ya go

I really like the material selection on the new Pizzuti building. It's nice to see something other than red brick.

I took this photo the summer of 1985 from the exterior elevator on the Nationwide tower. A lot has changed. I think the original location of the Ohio Center was bad to begin with. It was shoehorned between Nationwide Blvd and the tracks with no clean path of expansion. A better original location would have helped but here we are.

The Dispatch published renderings of the Trolley Barn project but it's behind their paywall. The project will break ground soon.

The interior is pretty nice! This article has new renderings but I don't know how to find image links: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2019/04/12/slideshow-walk-through-the-first-look-inside-the.html?iana=hpmvp_colum_news_headline

I imagine planting will occur soon. Probably in May?

The plywood is covering a hole for a planter - part of the streetscape project.

I think diversity of businesses is a good thing for a vibrant downtown.

The Yoga on High building is being demolished. Interestingly, the entire block from 3rd to 4th is fenced off including the former Family Dollar store and its parking lot. Is the entire block being cleared? Or is the Family Dollar site being used as a staging area for the new building replacing Yoga on High?

The former Ford dealership at Broad and 315 is being demolished.

^Kokosing is clearing out their yard that occupies a portion of the site.

Going vertical at Cleveland and Reynolds. (Lots of wires in this shot!)

The Budd Dairy project is moving right along.

Definitely for demo

This excavator had a cage around the operator's compartment to provide protection from falling debris which made me think it was for building demo and not just roadwork.

There's an excavator typically used in building demo in the parking lot of the former Yoga on High building. Perhaps this project is starting soon?

Construction began on the Moxy in late 2017. I imagine it will open late this year, roughly a 2 year construction duration. The AC Hotel looks to have a similar construction duration.

^My very first job was a bagger at that Kroger in 1979. Glad to see another Saraga opening!

There's a message board on High at 2nd indicating the streetscape project between Starr and 9th Ave. will begin on April 1st.

Projects discussed in several threads here on UO are appearing in front of the upcoming UAC Zoning Committee meeting https://universityarea.org/2019/03/revised-april-1-2019-zoning-committee-agenda/ 114 E. 5thAve.–new proposal for mixed used development at NW corner of Summit Streetand 5th Avenue. Preliminary presentation. Karrick Sherrill, architect. King & High St.–proposal for mixed use development at SW block of King Avenue and High St. Mike Shannon. And this is one I wasn’t aware of, the school building at Neil and Hudson: 2573 Neil Ave. –proposal for renovation of the Neil Avenue School to change from R2F to a CPD. Kelley Co.

I forgot about Edwards purchasing the building. The Meyers hotel concept was probably put together for Edwards in an effort to attract a hotelier. https://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2016/11/03/buyer-of-pnc-plaza-building-downtown-plans-to-add-housing-boutique-hotel.html

^I hope you're correct! The footing excavations have been sitting unprotected for some time now.

^There's mention of the proposed development at the northwest corner of Summit & 5th at the bottom of the CU article.

I wonder if the units facing the bus terminal charge a premium for the view? ?
