The developer used to work for Marker, which has the site just down the road. Great guy. Very confident they'll move forward as well, as he definitely would know the area and feasibility of a project there.

Goodbye 👋

OH HELL NO. HELL NO. HELL NO. Do NOT let these guys build anything here. They are HORRIBLE!

In other news, Pizzuti is moving forward on their 7 story build on Oak

Permits moving along

Another redevelopment?

More infill coming to Broad!

You could get something 5/3rd or Key tower size on that lot, which I'd say is a win.

It's actually about as big as some of the towers in the city. I mean with any tower you'll have deep foundation work, but its very doable.

I think we'll see something on the triangle by 670 or on the corner by Merchant where there's that small surface lot.

11 stories, top out is next September.

I mean look at the Shoe. It's not domed, it hasn't been renovated in decades, and its extremely beloved by fans new and old. The fans will show even if the weather's bad. A dome is not make or break.

I dropped one too for you. Didn't see it drop though 🥲

I'm 20 years old and these old pictures make me cry. We had such a beautiful city now ruined by parking lots, parking garages, and ugly 60-90s skyscrapers and office buildings. And worse overall density than before.

Nah we need to repeat. Let's start with any ugly modern building. The classical styles depicted here were human scaled, unique, and stand the test of time. We need to return to brick streets, brick buildings, and thoughtfully planned windows, trees, and porches.

I mean if they're gonna make it modern, I would like to see more creativity. It definitely won't age well in its current design. That being said, I agree. Others have flown through that shouldn't have. Still believe the city needs to start getting restrictive on modern architecture unless its significantly unique and well designed (not used as value-engineering).

I've got a company in Florida that can go up to 25 stories...

Yeah if you have documentation proving you requested that option, and they listed it as an option, then it's absurd if they didn't include it. That being said, I've never seen apartments have "options" - typically that's a condo thing.

Same! The architecture of the city back in the day made a huge difference!

Both are better than what we have today!

Ohio Health needed to move off the Grant site and go somewhere like Franklinton Mt Caramel or South Linden. It looks like crap, cuts the streets up, HORRIBLE pedestrian experience, and ambulance noise all the time.

Huntington replaced something that should have never been replaced.

It's ugly, so not unhappy. Every skyscraper except Hilton and Laveque are ugly (of the major ones - 5/3th isn't bad looking just smaller).

If you're referring to elevator cores yes, floor-wise not at all.

Columbus saw this and was like. Nahhh - let's go white and boring.
