If a developer does decide to do a high rise condo/apartments building, it would cool to see some walk up 2 story units along the river/park.

Agreed! It is pretty closed off from the street but from the third picture down they posted, there is a sign showing 3,300 sq ft of restaurant/bar space available.

Hopefully some of the street grid can be fixed. I have a feeling it will be one way in/one way out type of deal with a surface lot surrounding it.

Do you remember the old Giant Eagle grocery strip mall on Neil? Same spot.

This makes me really sad to see the entire first floor used for nothing but open parking. While it's definitely an upgrade from the strip mall it replaced, Victorian Village deserves so much better...

Columbus hosted the Pokémon North America International Championships for 2022 and 2023 which brought in thousands of people from all around the country. I think that's a pretty big deal considering we beat out several large cities for the convention. Living on High Street in the Short North, I'm always seeing so many people walking on High street with conference name badges on. Usually at least once a week. You can definitely tell it gets busy with people visiting our city to explore.

My guess would be under that stucco is some amazing brick work.

This building is really starting to rise pretty quickly it seems you can now start to see it all the way down 670 heading west. This was taken heading east towards Neil Ave exit. I heard somewhere this is supposed to be completed by the end of 2025, maybe its possible?

Construction equipment on site for a new Panda Express being built in front of Kroger along south High Street.

Construction continues on affordable senior housing along Obetz Road near southside Kroger.

I have several friends/ family who will drive up from southern Ohio and West Virginia to make a weekend out of Easton. I guess when most of us live 10 to 20 minutes from good shopping we take that for granite.

I bet they are counting on people who wfh to utilize the space and buy a drink. I do love the interior though with the cool mural on the wall! Also from NBC4 this will be the 6th Starbucks within a 3-mile stretch of High Street from OSU campus to downtown.

The parking deck shouldn't comprise of half the buildings height. Maybe they are testing the waters to see of its denied and then they will come back with several less parking levels. Check out these conceptual renderings I found for this site.

The ground floor now has Chipotle, Great Clips, Anthem, and Starbucks. One more retail space to fill.

Starbucks opening soon on the first floor of The Fireproof.

That's good news! How many retail spaces does one have?

5 massive parking garages and one entire surface block within a 4 block radius on Front Street. SMH

I could really see the city redeveloping this 100 year old parking garage in the future. Hopefully being mixed use if it ever happens.

If and when this is finished, hopefully it will Jumpstart the Brewery District as a 24 hour neighborhood again. I hate the Grange garage on Front that was built maybe 10 years ago doesn't include retail space. The Brewery District/Front Street is a beautiful neighborhood and could easily bring nightlife back if done correctly. Also when Front turns two way through downtown it will help bring traffic back into the neighborhood.

The height on these building are great but dang that looks horrible from the street view.

The parking portion is really ridiculous! Are we the only city who puts out proposals with so many levels of parking showing above ground?

Thanks! It's basically like the exit at Polaris Parkway.

Noticing all the vents on the side of the building. Probably for dryer vents? Those drive me nuts when they are all over the building. Why do you see these on some new buildings and others have them hidden, maybe a central vent system?

Hopefully the ramps will be a full diamond layout and not a cloverleaf. Anyone have a rendering of what this will look like?
