Also taller than North Bank Tower, which I believe is 267 feet tall

It looks so damn bad and monolithic

I like them but I will admit I would like to see more height along 3rd.

ugh..not June 1...oh well. s%$#

Seems like a big loss to me. We never learn.

It is an unexpected location, but I love it.

Good. I don't live very far at all from the existing facility. Now c'mon West Jeff...let's get going with more housing.

Lookin' good!

I agree...they should have left the brick alone.

Good! Now lets start doing something about getting rid of the numerous surface lots downtown. C'mon City Council.

It may be alarmist but just a few weeks ago a awoke to my phone going off and the sirens blaring after 4am. A tornado destroyed most of Madison County airport and lifted just 2 miles short of my home. Ohio is either first or second in the number of tornadoes so far this season-right up there with Florida. This is an active severe weather season and people have already been killed in Ohio. So I really think for right now, better safe than sorry. *if the tornado did not lift, it could have gotten me-by the time the sirens and phone went off with the NWS alert, it was delayed and the storm that had the tornado was right over me. Such is life.

Build. This. Now.

There are hundreds of square miles of Madison county that are farmland...over 75 percent of the county. This area is not the best for agriculture anyways because it is in the Darby Creek watershed and the fertilizers and pesticides end up in the creeks. It is only ten square miles total and we need renewable energy. As someone who lives just a few hundred yards from Darby Creek...let's do this. JMHO

OMG...it does look like a Vegas Casino lol. I still like it though.

This would also apply to me...but I am trying to keep an open mind. Maybe they can be encouraged to push it up a few more floors? Nice to see the new arrivals coming in at 10-15 floors instead of the five over one and goodbye to another surface lot.

Looks like a fine and worthy cultural institution for the Peninsula. 200,000 square feet, almost 300 million dollars...it should make a big splash. I also like the optimism of having a tower next to it!

Could anything possibly look more ridiculous?

The city will probably roll over-this is Cbus. And I am a not as invested in this as I am not a particular fan of this particular old building. *shrugs*

Yes it could probably be done but is there a corporate will to do so? They probably don't want to deal with it and want a clean slate. Demo would be easier. I understand your concerns and frustrations. It is something to push for I guess. The articles did state they are seeking demolition so it will likely be a very uphill battle IMO. *I do think you may be overestimating the southern section of the site and it's ability to hold a nearly 600 car garage without a partial demo. JMHO when looking at the site.

I hope it is ambitious enough to make it a clear third cultural attraction to the peninsula that can hold it's own in that spot.

Pretty much my feeling on this. 534 units and 577 parking spaces will be difficult to fit in with the old building sitting smack dab right in the middle of the site IMO. I don't have a great love of the existing building. They had better bring a decent site plan and design though.

weather permitting I will be there.

Love to see it!

Especially a street like High.
