I'm curious to see what the next phase of the Postle Hall will be... are they going to replace Postle Hall East? Just renovate it?

What's so bad about the Wellington? It's massive, but it'll be right in scale with the other developments to the south. It's nothing extraordinary but it seems to be of pretty high quality from the times I've passed it...

I hadn't noticed the subtle architectural logo at the top of the HQ buildings. That's pretty great! I love how close it is to the highway, too. With Confluence Village built out on the other side this will be such an interesting stretch of highway to drive on (something I never thought I'd say).

Lots of progress on the Motorists lot facing Topiary and the replacement of Oak St. So great to see so many hefty residential developments from this angle!

Has anyone caught any updates on the Kroger project recently? Any idea on opening and if the Kroger is lined up to go back in its old spot?

Ugh, it's devastating to lose all of those gorgeous trees that were there. Wish they could have at least tried to work around one or two. Any idea where they relocated the large sculpture?

I feel like I never noticed this empty spot before this whole "where do we build this hotel tower" conversation happened, and then looking at it from this angle it is BONKERS that this land has been left empty the entire time the Convention Center has existed!

Oh my god, and the blatant visibility of the garage fluorescent lights... Who freaking approved this building?!

And at least it isn't still a suburban drive-through. This is certainly better than that. Literally anything is better than that.

The whole complex is a strange mixture of architecture -- the two original buildings were connected and then added onto and then expanded again... I don't see Ohio State attempting to preserve a historic facade shell with a new build interior, but stranger things have happened...

Turned out about as bad as the renderings suggested... Also, could we have included less planting in the streetscape if we tried?! Hopefully whatever eventually fills that corner where the convenience store is has some substance and style...

And this building has windows on all sides! What a development!

Disappointed about demolishing Starling-Loving Hall. It's a beautiful historic building, but I understand the pressures from the medical center for modern spaces. Seemingly it could be avoided if done in tandem with whatever will replace the Doan and Rhodes halls... But I guess the timeline isn't working out that way.

This project is a great example of, even though it was reduced in height a couple times, of infill that is in-scale, unique, with quality [-looking] finishes. It is unique yet blends with the aesthetic with the area. It is modern yet with traditional flair and massing. This is the kind of architecture that we need more of and less of the... downtown Edwards block.

Yes, considering the amount of weight they're putting on it as a "gateway" and that it's adjacent to the iconic Wexner Center... It's a disappointing infill building. But the spaces inside are desperately needed by the theater and music departments and the interiors looks pretty timeless even if the exterior is lackluster.

This is mine! I was just getting ready to upload it haha

I don't see how that small office building would require that much parking. Seemingly they're building out all of the parking for the ultimate build-out capacity of that medical offices parcel.

So it looks like they're no longer saving the rear portion of the Murphy building. Not a huge loss, I don't think. The density of this proposed block is really great so it's honestly a net gain.

This looks like some pretty nice infill (riverfront parking!) but realistically it is staring at the garages of the buildings on High: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1000362,-83.1131415,3a,75y,332.87h,78.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smkgpGcdeFwPnLvZuop8JXw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Assuming some further redevelopment of that corner it should make for a nice project eventually, but it would be a little strange initially. And a totally reconstruction of what is now an alley into a real 2-way road with street parking. Does Dublin have a downtown Master Plan at this point that considers all of the recent investment (i.e. the new library, parking garage, Bridge Park West, etc.)?

It's an American crisis of architecture -- across the country no one is immune

This is the architecture that our city deserves. More of this everywhere.

Still peeved that it was approved at the reduced height ?

They're seemingly really hitting it out of the park in terms of a unit mix for this neighborhood. The townhome/apartment buildings look really nice and the incorporation of the front garden spaces is great (presuming there are garages in the back)

In looking at Meyers + Associates hotel page, I noticed this: http://meyersarchitects.com/case-studies/hyatt-centric-columbus/ I guess it's under "Case Studies" but I feel like I missed this ever being looked at by Hyatt? It's not dated so I don't know how long ago it could have been.

I'm totally fine with the change in architecture (even if it is a downsize) because we didn't get this nifty building on the other side of the site (the smaller-scale buildings in a grid pattern were built instead)
