Posted September 25, 200915 yr <b>Riverside Hospital to expand campus</b> Thursday, September 24, 2009 By Mark Ferenchik THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Riverside Methodist Hospital is planning a $150 million to $500 million campus expansion that could include a new cancer center, offices and parking garages. The development, which could create 200 jobs and take years to finish, would be assisted by the city of Columbus, which is poised to approve a plan to pay for $13.5 million in road, sewer and other public improvements in the area.

November 28, 201113 yr NBBJ to design new tower on Riverside Methodist campus By Carrie Ghose, Business First staff reporter Date: Friday, October 21, 2011, 6:00am EDT OhioHealth Corp. is getting closer to building another patient tower at Riverside Methodist Hospital, a project that has been in the works the past few years. Columbus’ largest health system has hired NBBJ as the building’s architect, 10 months after accepting bids for the job. OhioHealth is seeking zoning approval to expand the red parking garage at the southeast corner of the Riverside campus. Additional parking would be an enabling project for the proposed patient tower, which would attach to the existing hospital on the side facing West North Broadway Street, spokeswoman Missy Gleason said.

April 16, 201213 yr Good news. I kinda like the shape of that new addition. Here are a couple more articles about the new tower for Riverside: Dispatch: Riverside adding neuro facility - $321 million, 10-story tower will add 330 full-time jobs Business First: Riverside Methodist to get towering expansion Also, according the Dispatch article, Columbus hospitals are on a big time roll. Almost $2.4 billion in hospital expansions are currently underway in Central Ohio: OSU MEDICAL CENTER - $1.1 BILLION - COMPLETION IN 2014 CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL - $840 MILLION - COMPLETION IN 2012 RIVERSIDE HOSPITAL - $321 MILLION - COMPLETION IN 2015 ST. ANN'S HOSPITAL - $120 MILLION - COMPLETION IN 2013 (WESTERVILLE)
June 18, 201212 yr Kinda sorta update on the previously reported $321 million, 10-story Neuroscience Institute addition to Riverside Methodist Hospital. One of the Dispatch's on-going Bicentennial Mileposts articles looked at Riverside Hospital's history. The hospital, which began in Victorian Village on June 2, 1892, has gone through multiple locations and name changes en route to its announcement of one of its largest construction projects this year.

October 5, 201212 yr Doctor practice dominoes falling into place near Riverside Methodist Hospital Business First by Carrie Ghose, Staff reporter Date: Friday, September 28, 2012, 6:00am EDT Central Ohio’s largest independent physician group is entering its first development deal for a building, and one of the offices it is vacating was bought by a growing gastroenterology practice. Real estate deals flowing along Olentangy River Road illustrate how practices are consolidating services to become more convenient and efficient for increasingly cost-conscious patients, while drawing revenue for tests and procedures out of hospitals. ... Large doctor practices are making bigger real estate moves and creating “one-stop shops” because they anticipate increased demand from an aging population and greater insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians Inc. is teaming with Daimler on a $4 million expansion at its northwest Columbus medical campus at Olentangy and Knightsbridge Boulevard, where the 225-doctor Westerville group leases several buildings. Ohio Gastroenterology Group Inc. will unite locations while adding offices and procedure space when it moves a few blocks south to 3400 Olentangy River Road, a building being vacated by practices seeking larger spaces to consolidate services. OhioHealth is making the most visible moves in the corridor at Riverside Methodist Hospital. It opens the Bing Cancer Center in November, and started construction this summer on a hospital tower for neurological care. Across the street, it has demolished most of the buildings at its Whetstone office complex but has not revealed what will replace them.

November 3, 201212 yr OhioHealth set to open Bing Cancer Center By Carrie Ghose, Staff Reporter - Columbus Business First Updated: October 31, 2012, 3:31pm EDT OhioHealth Corp. is set to open its $9.5 million Bing Cancer Center on Thursday on the campus of its expanding Riverside Methodist Hospital. The five-story outpatient center concentrates services from diagnosis to recovery. OhioHealth raised $6 million in donations for the project and center operations, led by a $2 million naming gift from Drs. Arthur and Hetty Bing of Columbus. Hetty Bing was successfully treated for colon cancer at Riverside in the 1970s. A renovation to a 20-year-old outpatient building, the center on Thomas Lane provides a gateway to the Riverside campus from Olentangy River Road, where the medical office market has been heating up.

I can’t remember which thread though. It’s actually way bigger than what I’d initially expected. This one on the southeast parking lot. It almost looks like a mirror to the neuro building, but with additional rooms on top of the parking garage as well. A >$600 million investment, focused on women’s health, with almost 200 more beds. Construction is planned to start by year’s end and wrap up by 2027.
March 6, 20232 yr Ha they just posted it: OhioHealth Announces Plan to Build a Destination Center for Women’s Health “The over $600-million capital investment for the OhioHealth Women’s Center project includes: • Inpatient and outpatient care (185 inpatient beds) • Labor, Delivery, Recovery rooms • C-Section • High Risk Obstetrics • GYN/Breast Surgery • NICU • Post-Partum • Over 150,000 square feet of comprehensive and complementary ambulatory programming that brings together primary care, specialty care and support services to promote care coordination.” https://newsroom.ohiohealth.com/ohiohealth-announces-plan-to-build-a-destination-center-for-womens-health/

March 6, 20232 yr I wonder what the master plan looks like over time. When they will start build a new general inpatient tower and tear down any old or outdated sections of the hospital. Almost seems like a nice central tower taller than the women's and Neuro wing would look really sharp.

I don't think we'll ever see truly urban development here, but I don't think seeing some more height is out of the question. There are no NIMBYs in the area to push back on development plans, and there is already some good height to set the precedent. You've got the 15-story Canterbury Apartments tower, four 7-story hotels, the 6-story The City behemoth, the 5-story OhioHealth HQ, and RMC which is 10-stories in some sections. I think the area outlined in red below is the best spot to build a cluster of residential towers.

March 6, 20232 yr One might be accused of being cold but the cemeteries hinder alot too. It's way too taboo these days to suggest relocating cemeteries but it would honestly be in the best interest of the city to redevelop the land at what could be a critical multi-modal hub. But thats another discussing for a SimCity thread I suppose.

The situation with the graves at the Merchant Tower site is one thing, but this is an "active" cemetery, meaning they are still burying people here and those people have family and friends still around. If someone tried to move grandparents' graves just to build some crappy apartments, I would be livid. Also, Woody Hays and Dave Thomas are buried here, so good luck moving those two Columbus legends without also ending up six feet under, lol.

With the BRT line going along olentangy river road, I feel like there might be a higher push to force better development. I think that area is a great spot for it, but doesn’t mean a huge length of Olentangy couldn’t be developed better.
March 6, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, Pablo said: From the BRT summary. Looks good, but I feel like that area could support way more than 2000 or so new residents. It’s super easy access to the highway. Just down from a grocery store and with BRT would have even more ability to get around.

My point is, 99% of people aren't as weirdly obsessed with urban development as we are and are not going to be very understanding when some developer shows up to dig up grandma just so they can build some apartments.

A little further up ORR, I’d like to see something done with this massive lot: But it’s also owned by OH, so I don’t know how willing they would be to develop it. And it’s a little separated from the rest of the action. But still within walking distance of plenty of jobs, so it’d be nice to see it go 🤷🏼♂️
March 6, 20232 yr OhioHealth plans $600M women's health tower at Riverside OhioHealth Corp. plans to build a $600 million "destination" inpatient and outpatient women's health center at its Riverside Methodist Hospital – making for a total of $1 billion in construction in the works at its Columbus hospitals. Already the state's busiest maternity hospital, Riverside would add a 590,000-square-foot, 185-bed tower at its southwest corner, the system announced Monday. That's even bigger than the 400,000-square-foot Neuroscience Center that opened in 2015. The construction would replace a surface parking lot. “This space will allow our clinicians and associates to build more and even stronger life-long relationships with their patients and families,” Dr. Jason Melillo, vice president of OhioHealth's women’s health clinical services, said in a news release.

It would honestly take a lot for me to like Crawford Hoying, they pulled a bait and switch downtown and provided a horrible building with no first floor function. The only good project they have done is the 800 N High building. To each their own, and at least they are building in the area. I just don’t like their projects.

Bridge park is a good project, just not something I like. It’s been discussed a lot in these threads as to why people don’t enjoy the overall outcome of bridge park. It’s great to build up the suburbs and I would love to see other areas replicate it. It just needs more to it and isn’t something that would ever draw me out of the urban core. So I don’t care for it. It’s a positive for the area however and I hope they continue to be successful. Eh, they just aren’t my favorite. They put out uninspired buildings that don’t have anything unique. I will continue to watch what they do, and hope that they can change their game up.

March 7, 20232 yr 7 hours ago, Gramarye said: What is "the gap in the Olentangy River Trail?" Right now, there's about a third of a mile where the trail wanders onto the residential roads (in red) instead of being a dedicated path: The proposal (in black) is to build a new connection to keep bike and car traffic separated.
March 7, 20232 yr While I think this "dedicated" extension is worse in the sense that instead of crossing North Broadway when it's a narrow 4 lanes wide and in a residential section, you'll be crossing North Broadway when it's much wider and is a high way on ramp. It does have the benefit of connecting to the Kohls site. Hopefully that's the result of someone thinking 2 steps ahead.

Is the proposal to cross at street level? one would think that they would tunnel under the road as they have in other parts of the trail. Not sure if that level of detail was included in the initial proposal.

It isn’t an ideal solution, but could work. They have more plans in place for biker safety, but we will see how it works. There are articles over in the transportation section

March 7, 20232 yr $600 Million Expansion Planned for Riverside Hospital OhioHealth plans to invest $600 million in its Riverside Methodist Hospital campus, building a 590,000-square foot Women’s Center that will hold the hospital’s maternity and neonatal intensive care, in addition to offering a long list of other services. The new building will be constructed on the southeast corner of the campus, at the intersection of Olentangy River Road and North Broadway, where there is currently a large surface parking lot.

March 7, 20232 yr I think my one quibble with all of the expansions is that OH’s suburban-style campus is getting more height than their urban one—I feel like it should be reversed lol But my guess is that, if it weren’t for Grant needing to play musical chairs with their space, we’d probably see one 10+ story tower rather than two shorter buildings. But, regardless, I have a feeling in a decade or two OH will end up regretting not giving themselves more shell/expansion space with their Grant OP building (unless of course it’s being built to be able to handle more height built on top of it in the future).
