August 24, 20168 yr Prayers for 3rd Ave and Goodale traffic. It's actually not bad compared to 5th which is just a cluster.
August 25, 20168 yr Drove down Yard St yesterday, looks like foundation work is starting on the Manchester building. Kinda strange their hasn't been any official announcement yet ...
August 25, 20168 yr Prayers for 3rd Ave and Goodale traffic. It's actually not bad compared to 5th which is just a cluster. I meant...when all these GV Yard projects start getting completed. But yeah, the main road to be hit will probably be Olentangy River Rd. Already a cluster, and adding in that many more cars off of the 315 exits. Very Stable Genius
August 31, 20168 yr Looks like improvements to the 315 off ramp, Olentangy River Road, Goodale are coming. From the Grandview Heights site: http://www.grandviewheights.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=546 Tuesday, September 6, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. the City of Grandview Heights Administration will hold a public meeting in Council Chambers, 1016 Grandview Avenue, to seek public comment on a grant/loan application to the Ohio Public Works Commission for work in the vicinity of Goodale Boulevard and Olentangy River Road. The proposed project will make improvements to the SR 315 Off Ramp and improvement to the intersection of Olentangy River Road/Goodale Boulevard/Twin Rivers Drive. The proposed project is located within the Grandview Yard TIF Site and was identified as a needed off-site improvement at the start of the Grandview Yard redevelopment project
August 31, 20168 yr Found this - http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Engineering/Roadway/studies/IOS%20Examples/FRA-315-2.12%20(OlentangyGoodale).pdf Doesn't look like it's anything too major, just adding more lanes to the exit. Currently a single lane for both north/south traffic onto Olentangy and will be changed to two dedicated south bound lanes and one dedicated north bound lane.
August 31, 20168 yr Years ago I was involved in a project that calculated that an underpass beneath the railroad was possible grade wise (immediately west of the 315 southbound off-ramp). It was costly. Probably a little late now considering the improvements already constructed in Grandview Yard.
September 2, 20168 yr Work Starting on New Five-Story Building at Grandview Yard, Condo Units Selling Construction is underway on the latest new addition to Grandview Yard — a mixed-use building featuring ground-level retail with four floors of apartments above. The new building, to be called the Manchester, is located at the southeast corner of Yard Street and Junction Way. Parking will be available in a large garage just to the east, which also serves office workers in the new Nationwide Corporate Campus. As many as 3,000 Nationwide employees will eventually work in the development.

January 11, 20178 yr Third Avenue by Grandview Yard finally getting sidewalks Traffic along West Third Avenue by Grandview Yard will be impacted for months as the city resumes work on the last major public improvements for the development. That means sidewalks are coming to an area that is increasingly congested.

January 11, 20178 yr A big problem around Grandview and 5XNW is that too many manholes are sunken. That makes manholes like potholes. It's definitely true on Goodale near Grandveiw Yard.

Will this be another Nationwide occupied building? I don't see any mention of it anywhere.

Will this be another Nationwide occupied building? I don't see any mention of it anywhere. I know a third nationwide building is going in right across yard St from "H" building and southern garage. I believe it's going to be around 100,000sf. Is this the foundation you are thinking about? Also a 3rd ~1200 car parking garage is going in around there. It's a pretty good size foundation they are working on, if it's just a garage kinda strange they would be doing underground parking when they wouldn't need to. It's also looks a bit big for a 100,000sf building and the placement is off from where the 3rd nationwide building is being proposed.

October 12, 20177 yr Looks like a 4 or 5 story building is under construction at Yard and Williams. I went for a run today through the grandview yard and saw stairwells being built out next to the under construction Nationwide building. Looks like it's probably apartments with maybe commercial on the first floor. It doesn't look like the stairwells are apart of the new Nationwide building or the new parking garage.
November 1, 20177 yr More Office and Retail Coming to Grandview Yard Nationwide Realty Investors (NRI) has announced the latest new addition to Grandview Yard – a two-story, 32,000-square-foot building which will hold office and retail users. The new building will be located at the northwest corner of Yard Street and Junction Way. Groundbreaking is scheduled for January, with the first tenants scheduled to move in sometime in the fall of 2018.

November 1, 20177 yr Two stories? Meh. It "fits" with that section of the development; I don't mind it as it means another lot is filled. Also I'm curious about a few things: 1. No word on the former HealthSouth lot on Goodale(labelled in yellow) 2. Apartment demand should be high enough to build the large yellow label, what's the word on that? 3. Will Wagenbrenner completely takeover the red labelled section and create a transition into the neighborhood?
November 2, 20177 yr Re: #3, I used to live directly to the west of the far right hexagon. There is (was?) still a business or two operating in some of those old warehouse type buildings. I was hoping I could stick it out to enjoy the entirety of GV Yard and be able to just walk over there (I did all the time to the Giant Eagle) but I decided I needed to get some equity rather than losing everything to rent. That 3rd Ave stretch under the rail road tracks is terrible for bikers and pedestrians. I know they have a plan to eventually shore that up, but man that's such an awful stretch. Very Stable Genius

That warehouse you lived by is now gone, everything in the "hexagon" area is being demolished and graded for development. The shoring is up on third getting ready for the new bridge to eventually create the sidewalks on 3rd finally.
November 24, 20177 yr So definitely another apartment building going up next to Nationwide's expansion... also curious to see what is going to happen on the two lots on the west end.. a lot of dirt is being moved there right now

January 29, 20187 yr The unannounced apartment building continues to come along nicely. Also the two office buildings next door for Nationwide's campus are just about done. The Manchester building apartments are occupied, but no sign of any ground floor tenants yet. And Chick Fil A is complete as well

April 13, 20187 yr Sidewalk/site prep work is being done on the east side of Yard St. and the building going up looks much larger than I expected.
May 4, 20187 yr https://www.columbusunderground.com/two-new-apartment-buildings-under-construction-at-grandview-yard-bw1 CU posted a report (linked above) about two new buildings under construction at Grandview Yard. The previously unannounced project – now dubbed the Dorchester – consists of two four-story apartment buildings that will bring the total number of residential units in the Grandview Yard mixed-use development to over 800. The first building of the pair - Dorchester East - will be ready for its first residents by July. It is located at the northwest corner of Yard Street and Williams Avenue and contains 86 apartments. Work began in March on the second apartment building - Dorchester West - which sits directly behind the first one. It will have 150 units and is scheduled to be completed by next summer: Both buildings will be connected via tunnel to an existing four-story parking garage, which is also utilized by Nationwide employees working in one of the four office buildings clustered along Yard Street. With a final group of office workers moving in last week, the total count of Nationwide employees at Grandview Yard is now up to 4,000: The new apartments mark the fifth development phase at Grandview Yard. The first phase was completed in 2010, when Hyatt Place Columbus, Planet Fitness and other businesses opened on the southern edge of the site near Goodale Boulevard. The project developer, Nationwide Realty Investors, declined to provide any details about plans for filling out the remainder of the 90-acre site, but did say that the goal is to have a total of 1,500 residential units at Grandview Yard by the time the final development phases are completed: More info and photos at https://www.columbusunderground.com/two-new-apartment-buildings-under-construction-at-grandview-yard-bw1

The railroad viaduct is being widened to allow new sidewalks to be installed along Third Street:
September 4, 20186 yr Looks like Grandview Yard is growing to the south. The WW Williams redevelopment that previously announced several months appears to be growing in scope. While it isn't completely clear if it's NRI or another developer, there is a new $15 million TIF that is going through negotiations to expand Bobcat and Yard streets south of Goodale and connect it to a expanded swain street that will also extend into Twin Rivers drive. Tentative plans for site include 400 residential units, a hotel and potentially commercial office space.
September 4, 20186 yr Wow, that is big news. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
September 4, 20186 yr 400 residential units is quite a bit in the relatively small area, especially when you will also have a hotel and office space. Maybe we will actually get something over 5-stories.

September 13, 20186 yr Grandview Yard could expand its footprint With new development proposed near Grandview Yard, the city of Grandview Heights is examining its existing agreements. Grandview Heights is considering modifying its compensation agreement with Grandview Yard's developer, Nationwide Realty Investors Ltd. and the Grandview Heights City School District, to increase the cap on the bonds that can be issued for projects there. The proposal would add 14 acres south of Goodale Boulevard to Grandview Yard.

September 15, 20186 yr Did they finally finish the work at the RR bridge? Do the sidewalks connect yet? That aerial is probably over one year old. It's missing several under construction and even completed buildings. Also, 3rd Ave has been one way westbound for at least six months now for the RR bridge construction.
September 15, 20186 yr ^ If you look closely that 'aerial' is actually a rendering for the two-story office building on Yard St, at center, which is now under construction
