There's only one house still standing on what will be VanTrust's 500-acre "New Albany Tech Park". Work on site has really been picking up over the last couple weeks. The newly built Haul Rd, which runs directly to the Intel site, is just behind this shot

We were up on the far north side of the city earlier so we used the opportunity to check out some of the developments rising across Orange Township. Another one of the buildings that will make up the "town center" portion of Evans Farm has started vertical construction. This one's called The Cove Ground also broke recently on Jennings Sports Park, which is located between Evans Farm and the tracks. Looks like they're currently working on installing drainage at the new park. These are from the backside of that project from near Piatt Rd and Shanahan Rd.

Progress continues on the first of three planned buildings along State St quick link from CU on the project: https://columbusunderground.com/infill-development-proposed-for-state-street-in-westerville-bw1/

The Blakely continues to rise

Yesterday evening from Lennox and a couple from last night

Not yet on the residential. An article from CU in March says they plan on finishing the factory first, then using product from the new factory to create the new housing on site: "A local developer’s plan to turn the former Value City site at the corner of Innis and Westerville Roads into a modular home factory is moving forward. Brad DeHays, the founder of Connect Realty and of a new company called Connect Housing Blocks, is convinced that the project can achieve several lofty goals at once, providing good jobs for local residents and revitalizing a key intersection while increasing the supply of affordable housing. The plan is for that new housing to end up on scattered sites throughout the region, but also directly on the property, where the housing modules produced in the factory will be stacked together to create two new apartment complexes. The two apartment buildings will be built on what is now a large parking lot, and eventually would add about a hundred residential units to the 27-acre site. That portion of the project, though, is not scheduled to happen until 2024, DeHays says. The focus right now is on turning the large, interconnected buildings on the site – which together hold about 270,000 square feet of space – into a modern factory, complete with a state-of-the-art manufacturing line that could eventually churn out as many as 1,500 affordable housing units a year." https://columbusunderground.com/modular-home-factory-apartments-planned-for-value-city-site-bw1/

Couple more from 4th & 5th and the parking garage in the back continues to rise as well

Wasn't sure where to put this since it's not technically Linden, but it's close... I was just out by the old Value City/Schottensteins site and after years of neglect, noticeable progress is being made! The main building is currently getting a new paint job

Few more from Beulah Park

Vertical at Buckstone Flats

Got one earlier from Huntley Rd (looking east down 161) That wood off in the far distance is the Salem Village project

The Lyra Dr extension to Powell Rd and the new roundabout at Lyra and Powell is finally open!

Already a noticeable difference at Broad and Hamilton! It looks like about ten of the old Woodcliff condo buildings have been demolished so far which leaves roughly 40 more to bring down. It's going to be such a breath of fresh air to get these things out of there!

The Gahanna High School football stadium is completely down now. Ground officially breaks on the new Gahanna High School this week

Couple different angles of Topiary Park Crossing

Things moving along nicely at Kingsdale and one from the "dark side" 🤣

Those condo's you're so excited about are the tall skinny buildings sticking up at the left in this picture. I was through there about an hour ago and it looks like they aren't too far off from being able to start on those!

Recently I got to take a tour of the massive new tennis facility they built at Ohio State and it was very impressive! and next door to where the new lacrosse stadium is being built, is the Covelli Center, which is their relatively new wrestling and volleyball arena. I was at a volleyball match there a couple weeks ago and it is a top-notch facility with great views of the game and a great atmosphere.

Arlington Gateway

Buckeye Village continues to come down. I was out there today and counted roughly 9 more buildings left that still need to be tore down. About half the property looks like this now: And on the other side of the property, crews continue prepping the rest of the buildings for demolition

Couple more looks

Multiple streets through The Peninsula have been opened up to regular traffic recently. I snatched a couple while driving through it earlier today.

Looks like ground has broke on one of the lots behind Southern Station along Bowman Way. Anyone know if this is another phase of Southern Station?

I noticed crews have been out moving dirt in the lot between the WBNS studios and the Post Office along Twin Rivers Dr. for the last few days. Anyone know what the plan is for this site?

Speaking of those yard signs, pretty much all those houses along Kossuth St near the site had those signs up. A couple weeks ago, there was only one house through there that still had one up. I noticed last night that that one has been taken down as well. I think reality is finally setting in!
