  • This proposal sounds beautiful—30 story tower!—and it adds a lot more housing units. Fingers crossed this doesn’t get watered down before final approval.    The Peninsula's $211M second phase:

  • The Peninsula continues to rise ... crazy how the entire area used to be parking lots.

Can't wait until it all gets settled in. It all looks so pristine and untouched you kinda question if it's even real.

Should've made the whole thing towers. What a wasted opportunity.

While I agree the buildings should have been taller, I like the difference in height. Now, would it have been a bit better if the shortest building was 10 stories, yes. Let’s hope they finish off the empty lots with some more height.

Agreed. More height would always be nice, but this far from a "wasted opportunity".

How about we hold off on calling it a “wasted opportunity” until we see what they’re doing with the other 8 open lots lol.

 

my fingers are still crossed for the tower with the grocery store at the ground floor.

Yeah, I agree. I like the mix of varying heights in the district. Hopefully as the project continues, we get a good mix of mid and high rise buildings. There’s still a lot of land to work with. 
 

As nice as it would be to have the whole district filled with high rises, you have to ask if there’s a big enough market for urban living here to support such a project.

Let's also hold off on calling it a wasted opportunity until we see how vibrant the district becomes, how many shops & storefronts there are to enter, how well it accommodates our summer festivals, etc.

It’s disappointing that, once again, the office building isn’t bringing anyone new downtown, but shifting them from one part of downtown to another. One the bright side, however, this does represent an increase in office space for Telhio, brings the first office building to ~50% leased, and opens up Telhio’s old building to redevelopment for (hopefully) a better use of the space. Now, fingers crossed, we get more forward movement on Phase Two soon. 
 

Telhio will move offices to Daimler Group's office building at The Peninsula

 

“Telhio Credit Union is the latest business to ink a deal for office space at Columbus Downtown Development Corp.'s rapidly rising Peninsula development just across the river from downtown. 

 

Telhio has owned its 96 N. 4th St. headquarters since 1962 – when it was still the credit union to AT&T predecessor Columbus Telephone Co., with 3,200 members and $3.2 million in assets, President Derrick Bailey said. Today the credit union has 70,000 members stretching from Mansfield to Cincinnati, and $1.4 billion in assets.

 

The credit union will occupy the entire fifth floor of the new office building, about 30,000 square feet. The move will increase its office footprint by about 3,000 square feet.
 

The sale of Telhio's old headquarters is pending to an undisclosed buyer who plans to redevelop the property, Bailey said. Although the credit union gives up its only downtown drive-thru, he said, the move is worth it.“

Hopefully by redevelop the property, they mean tear it down and build something with some density. With gay st starting to pick up more and more, and the office tower across the street being redeveloped, this seems like a perfect opportunity for a good sized project.

That’s what I’m hoping for too. It’s an ugly, low density building. Tear it down and do better.

Someone is probably going to use the drive thru to make it into a restaurant though. If it isn’t fast food, that wouldn’t be a horrible thing, but would be better as a high density mixed use. Is the parking lot next to this part of the property? I would also think the company buying it is Edwards, since he owns that entire block basically.

I highly doubt anyone is going to turn this building into any kind of a restaurant.

The drive thru area is too large and mostly unusable for a restaurant, unless you are Chick fil A. 

 

This would be a great spot for a residential tower. It's right around the corner from all the restaurants on Gay Street, and just a block away from the bars and breweries popping up like Pins and Jacki O's. You even have a self-storage facility directly behind this lot. 

 

To @amped91's comment about it being disappointing that the Scioto Peninsula is only poaching other downtown tenants so far, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. As you can see with this situation, tenants vacating their current offices opens up the potential for office-to-residential conversions or even total redevelopments. 

CBF back with a sneak peek at the Peninsula apartments. 
 

Flaherty & Collins' apartments at The Peninsula are nearing completion. Here's a look at construction progress.

“Indianapolis-based Flaherty & Collins is nearing completion of its first Columbus project: two apartment buildings at the mixed-use project rising on the Scioto Peninsula just across the river from downtown. 

 

The buildings, which are seven and 12 stories tall, will have a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units. The 12-story building will include 16 penthouse units on its top two floors.

 

Deron Kinter, principal at Flaherty & Collins, said the buildings will wrap up some time in the first quarter of 2023, pending the arrival of some construction materials. Apartments are pre-leasing now.
 

Daimler Group and Flaherty & Collins also are working on a $211 million second phase of the mixed-use development. Taylor said there could potentially be announcements on the Peninsula's second phase in the coming months.“

Not necessarily a bad thing, but I am hoping the SP can eventually pull in more employers from outside of downtown and even outside the state (I think B&N is the only one so far who was previously located outside downtown), rather than just merely relocations within downtown. Or at least a splashy headline maker, like BBI taking up an entire office building and creating hundreds of new jobs in Astor Park lol

Oh I definitely agree. It's more of a win-win situation in my opinion. But yea, I hope we do start seeing some fresh faces moving to the downtown area.

The article doesn’t say who bought the Telhio property. Maybe that someone else is the also the buyer? The entire parcel would make an incredible location for a mixed use tower, for sure.

The lot to the north was created after the death of the owner of the buildings that were there, William Benua, in 1992. His trust still owns this property among other pretty run down looking apartments and warehouses in central Columbus. Doubt they're willing to part with this lot.

 

Side note, his wife willed their now demolished mansion and 600 acres to Clear Creek Metro Park. I believe it was the mansion Metro Parks leased favorably to Waggenbrenner for 20 years before they were caught and decided to demolish it in 2019. Of course they say the demolished it to preserve nature.

Sounds shady, and not in the tree kinda way. 

 

So it sounds like we won't get a structure that will take up both lots in any meaningful kind of way. I do wonder if the Telhio building will be redeveloped as-is, or torn down to make way for a new building. Knowing our luck, it'll be a Sheetz, a Moo Moo, or an Advanced Auto Parts...

Honestly, I'd rather one developer do something with the Telhio building and have someone else eventually develop the surface lot at the corner. If a developer has a smaller space to work with, they'll theoretically have more incentive to build higher. It also creates a greater architectural diversity. 

 

And on that note, this discussion should probably be moved out of this thread and over to a more relevant thread.

I agree with this, the architectural diversity on gay street is what makes it so great. It also helps stop building trash like edwards did at high and gay. 

The Peninsula needs some more wanton and vagabond deer to go with the others scattered around down there. Though maybe not costing as much...some discount metal deer. More public art. And that 34 floor tower.

I would love for some deer to pop up in the Peninsula! Or some other woodland creatures. There’s not enough statues downtown!

 

Multiple streets through The Peninsula have been opened up to regular traffic recently.

 

I snatched a couple while driving through it earlier today.

The Peninsula > Bridge Park

 

*Closes door, leaves room*

Genuinely curious, what makes you say that? 

 

I do think they're very comparable as dense mixed use master planned developments next to a river front park. But I think I'd give the edge to Bridge Park. That may not be fair because bridge park is more established but here's my thoughts. The Peninsula wins architecturally (I prefer the mix of heights and the more varied buildings). However, Bridge Park wins for parking garage treatment because they blend into the background of the streetscape better and most have 2 to 3 sides wrapped. That said, the Peninsula has nice garages, they are dressed up, but just buried in the back down a dead end street.  I could be wrong here, but I also think Bridge Park has more consistent ground floor retail (they've also activated it really well, although not fair to count that yet). But the Peninsula incorporates art. 

 

Lastly, and what gives it the win in my mind is that I think Bridge Park was more transformative. Taking a strip mall in suburbia and developing it into a destination urban district is pretty impressive. The Peninsula is impressive in its own right, but with the existing momentum in Franklinton and the location those lots would have developed densely on their own if the city hadn't kept a strangle hold on them. 

 

My thoughts anyway. But fun conversation to have, wish we had a dozen more going up to compare. Calling out the disappointments of Grandview Crossing, Hamilton Quarter, etc.

My biggest problem with bridge park is the fact it just took everything from the short north and downtown and moved it into the suburbs, for the people that are scared to go downtown. If they would have brought in mostly new businesses or business from other suburbs, I wouldn’t mind as much. It was just a copy paste and that is annoying to me. 
 

on the other hand, I’m glad it was built and I’m glad it’s working out great for them. Having more dense design in the suburbs is exactly what is needed. 

*Re-opens door, peeks inside*

 

Really like your take on the two developments, @17thState. I really think you highlighted many of the things that make both projects special for Central Ohio. 

 

I do think The Peninsula is better connected to its surroundings than Bridge Park. While the bridge over the Scioto is gorgeous and connects historic downtown Dublin with Bridge Park, it still feels somewhat like an island in suburbia. The Peninsula, rather feels like an extension of downtown and acts better in linking two parts of the city. The Peninsula also benefits from better integration with COTA and CoGo bikes. Hopefully eventually both will be connected by better mass transit, eventually. 

 

As you mentioned, the greater variety and building height is also a win for me in The Peninsula's favor. As far as being more transformative, I'd probably also give it to the Peninsula. The area was literally a dead zone in front of COSI. While Franklinton was already seeing independent development already, I'm not sure we would've seen such immediate transformative development so quickly without CDDC putting it together. Plus it's allowed other parts of Franklinton to see momentous development in the form of Kaufman's continued investment in the area.

I don’t really think you can compare the two because as you said one is the extension of the urban center of the metro area and one is trying to create a new urban center in the suburbs. Looking at the former you could argue that the Peninsula is somewhat of a let down because of the lack of major height and diversity in design, etc. I don’t really think a slight difference of color and building materials makes up for the lack of character. The hotel at Bridge Park makes a statement, I don’t think you have that at the Peninsula yet.

I completely agree. The comparison is not really like for like. Comparing Grandview Yard to Bridge Park is a bit closer, but even those two are quite a bit different in terms of end goals, surrounding area, etc. 

So far, I like the concept/idea of the Peninsula  better than that of BP (big urban infill dev project v. suburban conversion), but I think it’s still too early in the Peninsula’s development to say how well the developers will be able to execute on all of its promise. FWIW, I like BP well enough, and I’m glad it’s doing well. But, like @VintageLifesaid, it’s a copy of everything in Cbus. So I don’t have much of a reason to drive all the way out there for something I can get too much more easily here. 

 

Whenever I look at this development, I can't help but be almost captivated by the parking garages. They just look so good for being parking garages and they should be adopted as the standard minimum for any future stand alone parking garages. I like the buildings, uses, views, plans for taller towers, etc. but I just can't get over those garages. lol.

That’s exactly it though nobody is saying BP is going to be a regional attraction and that’s not it’s intended purpose. But for those in Powell, Dublin, Marysville, etc it works and provides an alternative to dragging the whole family 30-45 minutes to downtown. The core and the suburbs are still experiencing growth, as those core residents move out to the suburbs for schools, jobs or just a change in lifestyle, things like BP fill the gap from their time living in SN, GV or Grandview, etc.

That’s not according to its developers, but this is definitely getting into off-topic territory. So, in order to avoid this thread getting locked once again….

 

Does anyone know if there’s ever been any talk of relocating the police station on the southern edge of the Peninsula? The master plan shows that area being redeveloped in the future:

 

2C358447-A7D8-46C5-8464-DAFF6B0F5FB2.jpeg.ba3faf0a1059b019a09d0587df226e91.jpeg

 

However, the brick building itself is fairly attractive (at least from the outside), and it’s supposedly 150+ years old (according to the county auditor’s website), so I really hope it can be preserved and repurposed in the development. Of course, it’s surrounded by a massive amount of parking, so I hope to see that changed in the future. I think it would even be cool to see the little one story brick building at the corner preserved and repurposed into a little walk up coffee bar or something. 
 

Anyway, I realize this is likely a decade-plus into the future, but I was just curious of others’ thoughts and if there’s been any talk yet about that land.

Where have you been?? lol The CDDC revealed last year plans for phase two: a 34 story project consisting of a four story parking garage with a 30 story residential tower and a seven story office tower on top. There hasn’t been much news since then, but the CDDC has recently teased that an update should be coming soon. 
 

Here’s a link to an article about the announcement:

I do know that years before the peninsula projects were announced, CPD was actively planning on vacating the land for development. Whether that plan is still in play or has been abandoned I am not sure.  Officers I knew at the time were fully under the impression that substation was to be relocated sooner than later... well... it's later. Lol

That’s actually really good to hear. Hopefully that means there will be little to no pushback when the time comes to relocate. Thanks!

Rockbridge names The Junto general manager, reveals more details on hotel

“As Columbus hotel developer Rockbridge's The Junto continues to work toward its spring 2023 opening, Jason Delcamp has been recruited from Denver to run the property. Delcamp, now general manager of The Junto, had been running boutique hotel Halcyon just outside of Denver. 

 

The Junto will be the first Columbus property from Makeready, a hospitality company founded by Rockbridge CEO Jim Merkel. Through Makeready, Merkel has led independent hotels in Savannah, Charleston, Nashville, Dallas and Denver.

 

The Junto will also feature a second-floor banquet space and a variety of meeting rooms. 
 

"We're trying to create a bunch of different experiences within this one building. You are in this great neighborhood, but you don't even need to leave the building to experience all these different things," Delcamp said. Delcamp said he's looking to hire about 250 employees to help him run the hotel.”

With the announcement that the North Market Tower and Grandview Crossing will receive the state tax credits, does this mean the Peninsula Tower is dead in the water? I believe this is the second go around for the credits and both times the Peninsula missed out.

Probably will just delay it, hopefully.

The Peninsula did not apply this round. 

Some renderings from the graphics approval package for the first phase of the Peninsula residences at next week’s Downtown Commission meeting.

Unfortunately, the only other item of note on the agenda is a proposed demolition of the single story, vacant building at 480 E Main. The building looks to be in pretty bad shape from the outside, but it sucks seeing another demo request without plans for a better replacement :/

Ah damn, just saw that building was for sale and would love to buy something like that. I’m sure it could be fixed up or replaced properly. Hopefully the commission pushes back.

Is this a new building or is this the existing 11 floor residential?

^ This is just the signage for the existing residential nearing completion

Crews have recently installed some of the decorative lighting that will hang above some of the streets throughout The Peninsula.
