At least it sounds like the Livingston Ave one isn’t getting further delayed, based on that article. Im not feeling super optimistic about the Pierre moving forward though, unfortunately.

Looks like Lev is moving forward with his plan to open a bar next to his newly renovated apartments:

This was supposed to have a retail space on the ground floor…did that get scrapped?

From the rendering, it looks like the grocery store will span the entirety of the first floor that isn’t parking.

Came here to say the same thing. They were all over in Paris, and it was honestly super convenient. Plus, it didn’t seem to hurt the surrounding real estate.

That brick building is really nice looking. There’s surface lots on both sides of it, and I’m hoping when they get developed this building gets incorporated into whatever project happens, rather than getting demoed.

I think this is the first time renderings from this proposal have been released. From next week’s UIDRB meeting:

Oops, idk where Broad came from. My bad. It’s 347 E Gay St. it’s currently a parking lot at the corner of Gay and Grant.

New seven story build proposed for a vacant lot at 347 E Gay. Artem on Gay from the Finance Fund with 78 units: And while they are still keeping the name under wraps, confirmation of the Gay and High new restaurant as a seafood restaurant:

DHL Supply Chain to build 755,000-square-foot distribution center in Fairfield County “DHL Supply Chain is building a large facility in Fairfield County, marking an expansion of the global company's already robust presence in Central Ohio.

More details on the park, and an update on phase three: Land-Grant Brewing, Kaufman Development detail plans for new Franklinton park “Kaufman said the decision to build a park in the space is community-driven. "I don't think that another building is really what the neighborhood needs right now," he said. "There's plenty of land still left to develop (in Franklinton). We think it's probably more important for the neighborhood to have something that everybody can access, with more food and beverage options, more places to hang out and connect and experience art and music." With two phases complete, Kaufman's Gravity project now spans nearly 15 acres and features nearly 2 million square feet of residential, office and retail space. The development's second phase recently opened with 257 apartments, ground-floor retail and a 180,000-square-foot office building. Abatement work will start at Gravity's third phase, the latest installment of Kaufman's Green|House concept, next week. Construction should be in full swing in September, Kaufman said. Green|House will have 320 apartments, with amenities and ground-floor retail that focus on well-being and wellness.” https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/08/16/gravity-experience-park-follow-up.html

Delaware County's Berlin Business Park to span three developments on 1,800 acres “A massive mixed-use project spanning nearly 1,800 acres across three separate developments in Delaware County is starting to make progress. Tentatively named Berlin Business Park, the project aims to create shovel-ready sites to spur development on the main east-west artery of Delaware County. General uses for the park include light industrial and commercial, as well as residential, professional office and retail amenities. Some portions of the park might also include a mix of residential and commercial. Along with zoning, the county also is in the midst of infrastructure improvements in and around the sites. That includes a new sewer pump station that will be operational this month and a 1.4-million-gallon water tower that is being constructed by Del-Co Water. The new water tower is expected to come online at the end of 2024.“ https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/08/14/delaware-county-1800-acre-berlin-business-park.html

First Community Land Trust Apartments Bring More Affordable Housing to Franklinton “City leaders gathered today to celebrate the grand opening of a small-yet-significant housing development in Franklinton. The “Town Square Station” project, located at the intersection of Hawkes Avenue and West Town Street, is the first rental housing development built in conjunction with the Central Ohio Community Land Trust (COCLT). “Today marks a new milestone in our city’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that every resident has access to safe and affordable housing,” stated Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther. “Affordable housing in Columbus is not just a matter of providing shelter; it is the cornerstone of a thriving and inclusive community. Our Columbus Housing Strategy enables families to put down roots, children to excel in school and individuals to pursue their dreams.” Town Square Station was made possible by the allocation of $1.4 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) along with additional funding from the Franklinton Development Association. In terms of affordability criteria for the one-and-two bedroom apartments, the 10-unit building includes a mix of rents targeting residents who make 50-60% of the area median income (AMI), which ranges from $34,750-$41,700 for individuals or $49,600-$59,520 for families of four.” https://columbusunderground.com/first-community-land-trust-apartments-bring-more-affordable-housing-to-franklinton-we1/

Got a few shots last night of the progress on the Shiloh Baptist project in KLB.

There’s plenty of space around the Square to build taller. I’m hoping all the amenities going in around there creates more incentive/demand to build on the Wolfe property.

Construction on the Women’s Health Center is planned to start 8/22.

Dang, Edwards is going to bring quite a bit of activity over to Cap Square. The PNC apartments are going to be pricey, though.

I was debating with myself between the two lol

And more surface parking getting eaten up!

Hmm interesting…

Casto's Kroger Bakery project lands new public funding tool that could 'expedite' the project “The Kroger Bakery site has been added to the Milo-Grogan TIF, which the city of Columbus says could speed the project along. Columbus Director of Development Michael Stevens said that the tax increment financing agreement recently approved by Columbus City Council could help jumpstart the project and boost the infrastructure needed to development such a project. "By expanding the area to include (the Kroger Bakery project site), this will help cover some of the public improvements that will go along with that," Stevens said. "And really, hopefully, expedite the project." Stevens said extending the TIF was a way for the city to get involved without taking funds from the capital budget to help it.“ https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/08/03/kroger-bakery-tif.html
