Housing continues to rise at Roby on Third Ave

Few hours ago at Quarry Trails

Snatched a couple quick ones while I was leaving Milestone 229 earlier- Not the best pics since it was dark- but the difference from before to now is pretty impressive. One thing I noticed when walking up to it is even though there's two less halos, it feels much bigger than the first version This thing is beautiful and I have a feeling it will be very popular

Had a few free minutes in UA a little earlier so I ran over to Kingsdale- UACC Work also well underway on the new parking deck adjacent to the new apartments

Quick look at Langham Apartments as I passed by on Chambers Rd

Construction underway along SR23 at Google just north of Scioto Downs

Work continues at Bank Run Metro Park off Rohr Road on the far south side New fencing is up and all the running paths are paved. Other upgrades continue further back on the site

The latest superload on its way to Intel is resting near Rickenbacker

City of Columbus moving closer to constructing major new indoor aquatic center "The city of Columbus is moving closer to announcing a major new indoor aquatics center project, likely to be located in the northeast quadrant of the city, but details including a site and potential funding partners are still being worked out behind the scenes. What the city envisions constructing "is not just a small facility," Reese said. "We want to bring something that can really bring a regional access for swim meets" and serve the public's general year-round swimming needs. Data extrapolated from National Recreation and Park Association publications support adding up to 8 pools to the city to serve the growing population. The city hopes to have a site selected before the end of the year and anticipates a construction schedule of roughly two years before a facility could open." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2024/05/16/columbus-indoor-pool-facility-2024-construction/73720825007/

Over the last few days, crews have been installing some new lights along the new Souder Ave trail They were lit for the first time last night -giving us a peek at what the project will look like once complete

Few more renderings of the SMF upgrades https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/columbus/scioto-mile-fountain-reopening-date-announced/amp/

Upgrades made to the fountain, which aim to make it a “year-round” destination, include: –Enhancements to halo fog and super shooters, jets that can shoot water 100 feet into the air, adding visual and interactive appeal, including a system that will engage and interact with visitors. –A sprite area with 344 fountain sprites that are lit by self-contained LED lights. –Increased seating and shaded areas and space for food trucks and carts, offering reprieve and refreshment to Downtown visitors. –Sculptural light elements with vibrant, constantly changing colors that will feature dynamic light shows in the cold-weather season, making the Scioto Mile Fountain a year-round destination.

Few more looks at the commercial development at E Main St and Lancaster Ave in Olde Reynoldsburg

Snatched a few quick ones of the Rambler as I passed by From Lane Ave

While I was in the area earlier, i ran back by the River and Rich 2 site... Looks like they've started building some type of staging area on the far west side of the site, so maybe we'll see things ramp up here soon!

The buildout of the massive Eastwood project continues at E Main and Summit Rd

Snatched a few of the Amazon site at Harrison and Jug a couple days ago from the nearby roundabout. Pretty crazy that this site has only been under construction for about two years

About an hour ago at Merchant

When City Winery bought the building on S High, they put up their signage, and it had sat dark since... This weekend, I noticed lights are back on in the building and it looks like they have began moving some materials in! (Might be a little blurry as I took this at night, but just wanted to show that there is finally some movement at the future location)

Crews began cutting a notch out of the wall next to the new pedestrian bridge on Souder Ave. yesterday. This will allow access to the new bridge from the new trail along Souder Ave

Spotted this guy tonight where River and Rich 2 will soon rise

The tent that was covering part of the fountain came down yesterday... Their plan is to have the fountain back open by May 24th

More from Downtown Ramp Up

No - I didn't see them but I only had a few extra minutes while I was there so I was kind of hurrying
