Connolly Cos. begins construction on new mixed-use building in Marysville “Connolly Cos. began construction this week on a mixed-use building that will offer new commercial and residential space in Marysville. The developer, which is based in Marysville, broke ground on what it is calling the McCulloch Building at 124-134 Emmaus Road. The 16,000-square-foot building will provide up to five spaces for retail, office or restaurant tenants as well as 11 apartments. It will sit on a vacant lot Connolly developed as part of the Green Pastures subdivision in Marysville. Neighboring businesses include CVS, Truitt and Truitt Optometrists, Donato's, Pathways Credit Union and Stir Fresh Asian Canteen. Connolly said in a release that the Green Pastures neighborhood is designed to provide a variety of living and shopping options, and that the McCulloch project is meant to add to that mix.“ https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/06/16/connolly-companies-mcculloch-building-marysville.html

A little splash of color.

I had thought Matt and Tony’s was just a rebrand of P&G’s….so are these two separate businesses? Lol Either way, nice to see a good burger joint back on High.

Former downtown Burger Im space getting a new burger joint this summer: Popular Columbus restaurant known for burgers opening new location Downtown “Yesterday, the popular Columbus eatery Pat & Gracie’s announced in a press release that it plans to open a second location in Downtown Columbus. The new restaurant will be located inside the Lazarus Building, which is located at 121 S. High St. It’s currently slated to open in mid-July.

A proposal to build 5 townhomes on a small vacant lot at 704 S 18th in the Southern Orchards neighborhood.

Bagel Street will be perfect recovery food 😉

Renderings for the new Preston Centre steakhouse space are out: Cameron Mitchell reveals name, new details about downtown steakhouse planned for Edwards Cos.' PNC tower project “Cameron Mitchell’s new downtown Columbus steakhouse now has a name. Butcher & Rose will open next summer on the ground floor of 155 E. Broad St. at Preston Centre, the downtown building previously known as the PNC Plaza. Columbus developer Edwards Cos. is transforming the building, one of several high-profile efforts underway to convert downtown towers for new uses. Jeff Edwards, the firm's president, said he is excited for the restaurant to be part of the project and expects it to attract visitors and residents to the development. The new restaurant is described as a “reimagination” of the steakhouse incorporating both traditional elements and modern touches. It will connect to Preston Centre's garden space, which is below street level.“ https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/06/12/edwards-cameron-mitchell-downtown-columbus-steak.html

I think. That’s what the agenda says. https://columbusohdev.app.box.com/s/gvvg7o7k8208z4toef73qy3lkidxshwv

Proposal from Thrive to build 436 units near New Albany in an apt community titled Moore’s Edge:

Took it, thanks! Super quick survey to finish.

I am so excited to see this and 100 N High (and hopefully Peninsula 2!) all rise at the same time.

Christian and Missionary Alliance moves forward with phase one of Alliance Place mixed-use development in Reynoldsburg “The Christian and Missionary Alliance is moving forward with the first phase of its massive development in Reynoldsburg. The religious group has announced a groundbreaking date for Alliance Place, a mixed-use project that is being constructed on 14 acres at the former Kmart site at the southeast corner of East Main Street and Brice Road. The ceremony will be held on June 16, and will include remarks from Alliance President John Stumbo, Reynoldsburg Mayor Joe Begeny and civic leaders. Phase one of the future Alliance Place development includes the construction of anchor building One Alliance Place and a three-story parking garage, along with site work such as utility tie-ins, entrance streets and surface parking. In addition to providing office space for the Alliance National Office staff, the four-story, 130,000 square-foot One Alliance Place building will house a 500-seat event center, meeting rooms, a coffee shop, inline retail spaces, additional leasable office space, and an active public plaza green space to serve the greater Reynoldsburg community.” https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/06/08/alliance-place-reynoldsburg-begins-construction.html

I keep just happening to drive by, so I couldn’t get any pics, but significantly more activity on site today. Whether we did or didn’t consider it before I would definitely consider “ground broken” now.

An IHOP coming to High St in the UD:

I thought the drive home today looked particularly smokey!

We up!

I don’t feel like there’s any sense in arguing the public art installs should be in one place over the other—it should be in both, imo. And I think we’ll see a lot more of it in the next few years, thankfully.

The preliminary site plan for this one is out now. Looks like it could be decent.

Ohhh I’d never thought of that before. That’s a good theory! Lol

Wasn’t able to grab a pic, but the tower crane at 100 N High is starting to go up!

Couple pieces of equipment on site today, and drywall is going up in the field office. Hopefully It won’t be too much longer before we see work start.

One more for a “Columbus-but-not-Columbus” area: Another phase of the Riggins Run development near Dublin. This one with 362 units and over 36,000 sqft of retail planned at 5123 Riggins Road.

190 units proposed at 7212 N Hamilton Rd. Not sure what this area is called lol
