I like color! The CU photos don't capture the vibe of the project.

The Italian Village parking garage is under construction at Pearl and Lincoln. Piles are driven into the earth around the perimeter ahead of shoring and excavation.

This Preferred Living project is really taking shape. It's easily seen from the on-ramp from Goodale to 315 north. There are 3 story buildings along Michigan and 4 story on the river side. Not the best looking apartments but certainly adds to the density of Harrison West. Michigan Ave frontage: Perry St. looking south: Quality Pl looking southwest:

^^Nice dogs!

Exterior finishes are underway on E. 2nd. Ave. I guess the project is named Station 324?

I imagine those are a way to break up the facade.

New $65 million HCOM building proposed on Union St. https://www.ohio.edu/medicine/about/initiatives/new-athens-facilities/facilities.cfm

I would assume the metal panels can be installed using an aerial platform or telescopic boom lift. Much cheaper than a tower crane.

That pink bit will be covered at some point. I think that may be the last unfinished part of the facade.

^There's a rig on site drilling foundations. You can see it from 670.

Exterior work seems nearly complete:

^Garage construction is underway:

^I didn't take a photo. There aren't any red panels installed except for the mock-up shown in the 330 Oak St. thread. I imagine they've been focused on interior work over winter.

Should have posted this here. Looks like it's almost complete.

The Cols. State culinary school is taking shape.

Moved to the Grant Hospital thread.

Excavation is underway for the Topiary Park brownstones:

Took a drive around the Discovery District today. A lot of foundation work underway. Should be able to see buildings coming out of the ground this summer. Here's the Borror State St. project:

Crews were busy with foundation work today.

Wagenbrenner is accustomed to building on re-mediated sites, it's their thing. (Harrison West, Jeffrey site, Columbus Coated Fabrics site...) As Toddguy mentioned, it comes down to the return the developer thinks they can get.

^You can build anything you want on landfills - it depends on how much you want to spend on foundations. I recall the Spectrum building on Olentangy River Road was built on a landfill using deep piers drilled through the garbage to bear on solid ground below.

Yeah, I'm well aware of what the SN looked like. I still think this stretch of Cleveland Ave is just fine with a small setback. It's no different than the setback on Indianola between Arcadia and Weber. South of Weber Rd. Cleveland needs a 0' setback. North of Oakland Park Cleveland Ave is a suburban mess. I don't think 0' setbacks are a panacea for all urban ills.

^The Short North was never all "parking lot/suburban drive through" as you describe.

^The setback is consistent with existing buildings along this stretch of Cleveland Ave. The development would be inappropriate along Cleveland Ave. south of Weber Rd. but it fits in here.

^Actually, often on the Clintonville Discussion Forum on FB it's millennials who are insisting a farmer's market or community garden is the best use for this site. I don't think NIMBYism is age dependent. I'm 55 and I would love to see greater density along High St.
