It's really out of place.

13 story building on High

Triumph as of today.

Which one? Link? I can't remember a 15 story one

I'm sorry but there's no "character" for this building - why not spend time trying to restore ones that are more unique?

Macon Hotel update. Brick restoration is a super slow process!

I know some things about that project. From what I understand masonry restoration should be about done or done by now. They're going to do amazing things with it!

I'm hoping with the fall sports season the 3 stadiums take off this year and also aid in that.

Or events. I personally don't want something like a Planet Oasis. I'd rather have events in the downtown core, along with shopping/dining/vendor experiences during breaks in the event/downtime and go for that approach. We need a corridor to focus on. We're kinda doing that with High Street and Nationwide Blvd, but both of those roads aren't catering to the experience in the right way. We need to get bigger sidewalks, bring dining on the street, show more life and people, have more gathering plazas/patios, create interesting storefronts, engaging digital messageboards, do something interesting in front of the convention center, etc. We need to push for a more urban feel too - buildings 10-12 stories min in this area may be a good place to start.

As I read this I'm listening to a concert held at the Ritz in Paris! I think that'd be amazing - yes the Hilton is cool but we need some big names to build a showstopper tower. Something taller and bolder than the Hilton. Though it is an interesting building, we can do better.

They've been going up and down the sides of the building doing something - maybe its window washing or maybe that's it.

Now we just need something to replace that Drury!

Can't wait to see this one completed!

According to their site they're used on the OSU tower project as well

https://columbusunderground.com/hilton-names-executive-chef-for-tower-expansion-restaurants-sp1/ "At the helm of the Hilton’s new dining experiences is Executive Chef Sebastian La Rocca. The Argentinian-born chef, who has worked in some notable and honored kitchens across the world, brings a list of accolades to Columbus including nabbing a spot on San Pellegrino’s World’s 50 Best Discoveries list in 2021. Most recently working in Puerto Rico, La Rocca will trade the tropics for all four seasons as he brings his family to Central Ohio. He’s attracted to the region for the same reasons many are – he sees it as a great place to raise his daughter. He also sees an opportunity to put Columbus on the culinary map."

Signage going up!

Personally I think a tower there would do well - maybe 15-20 stories. It'd look great off 670 as well

I love the second one! What were they thinking????

As of now its off to the far side - should be any day by the looks of it!

Exterior cladding is almost finished on the main structure. Just a few more panels to go on the crown.

Why does it look so much like the height of Nationwide? We really need another 500' tower

I don't know what you would call "big," certainly not this size - but I do know of things on the smaller scale.

It actually looks good with the Hyatt. That area of the city is really looking good!

I've been following this forum for a while but as I've started getting jobs/connections with big developers in Columbus, I figured it was time to join and contribute myself.

Have no idea how to upload images but here's an idea of some current towers going in and where other larger developments could go. Parking garages are in blue. Really think there's a lot of potential in the convention center area that needs to be utilized. https://pasteboard.co/bUNgiHCXcpJ1.png
