The Gilbert - 11/14/23

Yep, thank you! Here's the more updated plans that were approved by the downtown commission at the May 2020 meeting: https://columbusohdev.app.box.com/s/oqn6z8lup2xbbdt5as31xvzphxuhbmk2

Does anyone know what's going in on the northeast corner of N 3rd St and Lafayette? I can't find anything on it or any permits.

And some photos of the 100 N High progress:

High Street facades 11/13/23

From High & Vine 11/13/23

From driving into downtown on 670 a few minutes ago, it looked like an erector crane is on site to put up the tower crane today...

Would love to see an influx of 10-15 story buildings with ground-level retail and integrated parking on levels 2-5 like is going up all over Nashville.

It would be nice if they could use the existing Columbus and Ohio River line that runs from the convention center to the south side of the airport, though with the frequency required for a shuttle-style rail service, that's probably not feasible without taking over the line.

They'll hopefully also get a good amount of support from the construction tradespeople during the course of construction (and maybe at times other than the typical lunch rush). I got the feeling the Hilton 2.0 workers kept the convention center food court businesses afloat through COVID.

Per their IVC submission, the facade updates were due to tenant requests. Looks to be a restaurant with dining room and kitchen from the submitted floor plan.

They presented some facade updates to the Italian Village Commission earlier this month, which likely influenced the delay:

Especially with the concrete issue and need to remove and reinstall a portion of the facade. I'd be shocked if they made up that time already.

Per the permit (5600 Trabue Rd), it looks like it will be a 4-story Springhill Suites with 80 guestrooms.

Does anyone know what the construction approach is here with the black panels? I've never seen that before. It looks like a sheathing and/or insulation with fluid applied air barrier on it, but I don't know why it's only being applied for certain extents like that instead of the full height...

Midland Architecture Execution by Sullivan Builders

I was at a talk earlier this week by Council President Hardin and this is exactly his frustration. The loud voices and people that show up to council meetings every week are those opposed to the changes, and typically people who don't understand the reality of how the proposed changes would work.

I think they're just small-footprint single family homes with detached rear garages.

This would be great for the area, if they can make it happen.

It's not noted on the OSU map to be affected. The circle should be just around the north rec center immediately east of the SAS building.

Thanks for sharing - it's an interesting submission package that includes a lot of historic documentation of the site as well as a few alternate massing schemes for the project. It's an odd site and contextual condition, but I'm glad to see some movement on this. They'll have to carve out a spot for the tie die guy in the final site plan.

Not to be that guy, but that's definitely a column, not a beam.

The window locations are clearly driven by the floorplan with little regard to the exterior, and those gables are clearly an afterthought - probably because it looked even worse before those were tacked on.

The renderings appear to show the parking garage concealed behind curtain wall, which is hopefully still happening. The renderings on MA Design's website match the one on UA's website, so I assume they are the latest: https://designwithma.com/project/arlington-gateway/, https://upperarlingtonoh.gov/community-development/arlington-gateway-project/

I parked at the Gravity garage and walked over to the arts festival and am excited for that area to continue to fill in and come online. Had to force myself not to look too closely at the state of the railway bridge... a little creepy how rusted out it is.
