The renderings threw me since they have the actual building out the window in some of these interior mockups, lol. The units and shared spaces do look great, though. The big square windows are nice. Agreed that the rooftop deck looks awesome but very exposed to the elements. Hoping these units sell well.

Lol, I-95 on the tiniest sliver on the northern fringe of the island and 495 and 478 basically end at the tunnel entrances/exits. So while technically "connected" they do not slice the core of the city like interstates in other urban areas.

Manhattan 😁

Hard for me to like this since it just seems so crazily overbuilt. With as many cars end up in buildings, all I can picture is cars flying off the bridge and into the Scioto.

April 22 came and went. I really have high hopes for this project. Hoping the surprise decision by the Downtown Commission to delay the demolition needed to proceed hasn't lead to problems that would further delay or jeopardize the project.

The garage is giving Gilbert/Pembroke 🤢

I've always liked the work nbbj puts out. Agreed about the balconies, they add a cool dimension to the look of the building. The renderings look great but, based on other projects, my fear is this will get approved with the materials shown yet what's built will end up being different - and not in a good way. I also can't get over going from a 30-40 story proposal to 12. I wish there could be a little variation in height in Franklinton. Even if this building could be in the 15-20 story range it would help.

American will add flights to Chicago from CAK starting in October as part of a 7-city expansion from ORD: https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/business/2025/05/01/american-airlines-begins-nonstop-flights-from-akron-canton-to-chicago/83385603007/ Bookings should be available starting May 5. Not sure which regional carrier it will be, but likely PSA as they have a base in CAK.

Wouldn't that be insanely expensive? I'd imagine it's paneling of some kind. I think that'd be overkill, as there are architraves above each window line in the brick portion. Overall I'm really liking the revisions made to the proposal. If the finished product ends up as presented, that would be a huge win for that portion of the neighborhood.

Missed you guys! Revised format looks great. Now, back to enjoying the forums.

That's all well and good, but my fear is what one of the city's housing directors mentioned towards the end of the article: "When we have these sort of back and forths (between the city and developers), it is genuinely frustrating and adds cost and time to projects that gets passed down to the renter ultimately," she said. "So as we think about housing affordability, it's not good from that perspective either." At what point does the developer just walk away, and we're stuck with nothing?

This is infuriating. The whole purpose of Zone In was to have a document that set standards which commissions and review boards could refer to and help guide decisions. The fact that these people think they can still usurp the standards adopted city-wide is ludicrous. The commissioners' comments are all over the place, from potential shadow effect, to the aesthetic not feeling right, whatever the heck that means. Obviously these people have never lived in a big, active city where it's plainly obvious that developments like this and those that follow enhance the overall neighborhood environment.
