January 5, 20178 yr You might be the first person in Columbus to refer to the bars on Park Street as "bars with character". I would love it if Brothers and Gaswerks were bulldozed and replaced with businesses that compliment the North Market and continue to create a true Market District. I don't particularly care how tall they are, but 3-4 story mixed-use buildings with ground floor businesses that add to and compliment the North Market would be a huge improvement over what currently makes up most of Park St.
January 6, 20178 yr Lol. Touche on "bars with character," which is ironic bc the building stock is perfect, which is the only point I was making. It reminds me of Rainey Street in Austin or NW 16th in OKC, both of which are fiercely preserving their quaint/cottage-like character while getting hemmed in with medium/high-density infill. It's that contrast that says "oh, this is cool and different." Dallas also has a ton of these really cool one-story/patio bars (like the Ginger Bread Man) that are totally dwarfed by adjacent condo high-rises. In that instance, the bland condo high-rise sort of depends on those old hole in the wall bars next door to ground them amongst the surrounding eclectic urban fabric. Unfortunately, you know those bars aren't long for this world, and that's what I'm afraid is going to happen to the North Market area, which was already under development pressure before Wood wanted to build a tower that belongs on 3rd. This is why downtowns are made up of suitable areas for towers distinctly separate from the historic districts. Otherwise how do you arbitrarily decide how to weight those priorities, and what is really your goal with a building code and design standards? I'm just saying right now Wood does not have vested rights to build an over-bearing tower here, so that's outside the realm of higher and better use as currently defined. However, once you let Wood build that big of a tower, then anyone may as well have investment-backed privileges to demolish ALL of Park Street. For all we know that could be the plan for all the parking we know the Wood tower will need.

February 5, 20178 yr Couple of news items about three smaller buildings getting demo'd for temporary parking in the downtown "no-district zone" located north of the Arena District, west of the North Market and south of the Short North. This temporary parking seems to be linked to replacing the North Market's surface lot while construction proceeds on one of the developments proposals submitted to the city: Business First: The former EndZone nightclub and a pair of nearby buildings could be torn down to make way for temporary North Market parking, and eventual redevelopment: http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2017/01/20/endzone-nightclub-neighboring-buildings-could-be.html 3 buildings to fall to create North Market, hotel parking By Marla Rose, The Columbus Dispatch Updated: January 25, 2017 - 9:47 AM In an unusual move, the Downtown Commission gave its approval to the demolition of three buildings in the Short North/Arena District area, with the resulting lots to be used for parking — at least temporarily. The buildings slated to be demolished are two attached one-story brick office structures on one site and the former End Zone nightclub on the other. The Lewin family partnership, which owns the properties, still must work with the city on final approvals. While surface parking lots are anathema to urban planners, there's a near-term purpose: The surface parking lots are expected to be needed while the nearby North Market and a new AC Hotel by Marriott on Park Street are under construction.

February 16, 20178 yr While we wait for the results/winner of the North Market RFP, I have been passed along the details of NRI's proposal which were not initially available.

This is what they thought was "historic"? That's by far the most underwhelming proposal for the site of them all, even versus the rejected ones. Maybe if it was 10x taller, sure, it would be historic for the city, but that is just embarrassing. Even if this was just the initial proposal and they pulled it because even they knew it was underwhelming compared to other proposals, I can't imagine that they altered it so much that it competes with the 30+ story that was proposed. I've said it before but NRI, for as many resources as it has, plays it entirely safe/boring more than any other developer in the city. Whatever they come back with, I don't think it'll exceed 12 stories.

Terrible. I want Wood/Schiff, but I'd absolutely be willing to take Pizzuti over this awful, terrible, no-good proposal.
February 16, 20178 yr ^^jbcmh81[/member], "historic in scale" in their description more likely means fitting into the context of the surrounding historic district and existing building stock (which this does), rather than "historic" meaning monumental or something radically new and groundbreaking. Also, keep in mind that there really isn't that much of a difference in total units between the NRI submission (125) and the 30-story proposal (185), despite the height difference. With that said, while NRI and their virtually unlimited resources would allow the project to get underway almost immediately versus more financial uncertainty with the other finalists (even Pizzuti), I still hope Wood/Schiff are ultimately selected.
March 23, 20178 yr From the 12/16/2016 Columbus Underground article that Casey linked: The three finalists will revise their proposals and a winner will be announced in February of next year Well it is nearly April...has anyone heard anything about this? I hope it is the Wood/Schiff proposal.
May 15, 20178 yr Looks like the High St. streetscape project is wrapping up on the convention center side and ramping up on the west side of the street (Convention Center Way to Goodale - Phase 1 of the High St. streetscape project). Crews were on site this morning to remove trees.
May 24, 20178 yr CU is reporting recommendations for a 1000 room hotel.

May 24, 20178 yr I hope the Hyatt plan works out, with the hopes that it would spark a full interior and exterior renovation of that dated mess. All of these take advantage of underutilized space, however, so all have pros.

June 29, 20177 yr New vision for Convention Center area includes pedestrian-only streets, places to linger and 1,000-room hotel Now that the Greater Columbus Convention Center's been spruced up, it's time to spiff up the neighborhood to the west. Local officials unveiled a Columbus Hotel and Development Study Wednesday afternoon at the Columbus Metropolitan Club – a land use plan that looks at improving the pedestrian experience from the Convention Center heading west to Neil Avenue. It was a city-county effort along with design firm NBBJ.

June 29, 20177 yr Now that the Greater Columbus Convention Center's been spruced up, it's time to spiff up the neighborhood to the west. You mean the northern end of the Arena District? A place that was nothing 20 years ago? Needs spruced up? It's getting a freaking tower! That said, there are a ton of crap gravel surface lots between Neil & Park St. There is potential there - I can't remember what the "master plan" for the Arena District was but I'm sure there have been plans to fill in that area for years. Very Stable Genius
June 29, 20177 yr I like the plan and potential the area has. I've always thought the northern edge along 670 would be a good location for 20-30 story apartments to take advantage of park and downtown views. The article mentions pedestrian connectivity to Express Live and Huntington Park, but the intersection of Vine and Neil is awful for pedestrians. If this is one of the goals then the intersection needs to be addressed.
June 29, 20177 yr ^I'd have to do some digging, but I think around the time that the North Market Tower proposals came out, they also published tentative plans about filling in along Vine from Neil to Park St. I don't think that area is "bad" - it could certainly use some help (see failing Garage Bar/Bucks n Pucks/whatever it is now + the old Lodge Bar / Touchdowns being abandoned for years now). And yes, Neil/Vine is a terrible pedestrian intersections. I have, however, gone from Brothers to a Clippers game or Express Live (that's still weird to say) and just cut through the Blue Jackets parking garage. Very Stable Genius

September 2, 20177 yr I was all set to not-like this "As We Are" head sculpture when I first saw it. But after seeing it more and hearing the local artist talk about it, I'm really liking it now. I especially like the interactive part of it - where someone walks into the sculpture, gets their face scanned, then sees their face on the sculpture!

September 2, 20177 yr More pics and info on the head sculpture from the Dispatch: http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170901/new-columbus-convention-center-sculpture-called-ultimate-selfie-machine -- “As We Are,” created by Columbus College of Art & Design professor Matthew Mohr, made its debut during an invitation-only event at the just-renovated Greater Columbus Convention Center. The 14-foot metal sculpture is covered with 850,000 LED lights. A built-in photo booth at its back, featuring 32 digital cameras, captures the image of a subject’s head from many angles simultaneously. The resulting image is superimposed on the blank canvas of the giant head. Images will be stored and will be shown on a rotating basis. -- The sculpture is located at the corner of High and Goodale in the new north atrium of the expanded convention center. The sculpture will face toward the interior of the convention center during the day and rotate to face High Street at night. -- Civic, business and religious leaders were invited Thursday to have their images added to the rotating collection to be displayed on the head. Starting Friday, the public can visit the sculpture, with an attendant on hand to help visitors have their faces displayed on it. On Saturday, it will have its big public debut, when the convention center will participate in the Short North’s monthly Gallery Hop for the first time.

September 26, 20177 yr Convention center's giant video wall inspired by board member's trip to World Trade Center A 7-by-60-foot video screen that alternately distracts and informs on the trek between buildings at the Greater Columbus Convention Center was inspired by a digital display nearly five times its size at the World Trade Center in New York City. The continuous LED screen packed with more than a half-million pixels is the first North American video wall of its kind for manufacturer LG Corp., and an opening to new business for a Dublin digital sign company.

September 26, 20177 yr All of these things are nice to have, but now they've spent $120 million on this and didn't add retail space along the High St facade. That is the single biggest upgrade that would improve the urban experience of the convention center.

That is the single biggest upgrade that would improve the urban experience of the convention center. It was just bizarre that retail was never included. Maybe in the future?
September 26, 20177 yr ^That would require giving up convention space. Plus, many of the bathrooms are pressed up against the front walls. I don't see retail being a priority of the convention authority. I'm hopeful that the hotel expansion will be to the Hyatt, meaning its footprint is extended to the intersection of High and Nationwide. Hopefully that provides an opportunity to create a new streetwall along the Hyatt's entire block with High Street and help to reduce the 3 block long dead zone on the convention/Ohio center stretch.
September 26, 20177 yr ^ retail could have generated revenues for the authority. It's just a situation of bad planning that we are going to have to live with.
November 30, 20177 yr Plans for New Convention Center Garage Moving Forward Plans for a new parking garage behind the Greater Columbus Convention Center are moving forward. The Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority (FCCFA) has issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) for the design of the garage, and will soon issue a second RFQ for firms interested in managing its construction. The FCCFA board authorized those steps at its last meeting, and also gave the go ahead to issue revenue bonds to finance the garage – the same funding method used to build the recent Goodale Street garage and an earlier expansion of the Vine Street garage.

December 1, 20177 yr Ah I didn't realize that's the spot the new garage will be going in. Pretty creative use of space actually. Hope we can see something significant proposed for the Goodale lot soon!
December 1, 20177 yr I was hoping this was the spot they were talking about. Now if we could only get a hotel/condo/apartment tower with ground floor retail on that spot on Goodale between High and the parking garage-and at least 15 floors-you know at that location it would work especially if they could tap a bit into the garage parking next door.
December 1, 20177 yr That loading dock was a nightmare from being way too small. It won't be that much bigger but anything will help. Cars will be able to be separated from trucks for one thing.
February 28, 20187 yr Design Team Selected for New Convention Center Garage The Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority (FCCFA) has selected local architecture firm Schooley Caldwell to design the new convention center parking garage.

Perhaps this is indication that the Hyatt is getting the nod? I was at an event recently with the CEO of Experience Columbus and it felt like the direction was leaning more towards the Hilton expanding, but to be honest, I don't think it would be a bad thing for both at some point to expand.

For context the Hilton Canopy tower crane is 233' tall for the building which will be 157' tall. The Hyatt is 256' tall already, so they may just be moving something to the roof. Also, it just says "crane", not "tower crane". Could definitely be a precursor to Hyatt expansion.

The current Hilton, 401 N. High St., has 532 rooms, but tourism officials have stressed that for Columbus and Franklin County to become a major player in drawing national events, it has to have a hotel large enough to accommodate visitors. ... The Dispatch has learned that officials are expected to announce in mid-March that the Hilton will be expanded across North High Street to abut the convention center and add 468 beds, giving it the 1,000 beds coveted by tourism officials.

In the Dispatch article, the aerial photo includes the surface lot behind North Market, which will likely have that 400' Market Tower being constructed at the same time.

Unless they cover up the entirety of the tracks below, there is only a very small plot this could go on. It may end up taller than the existing Hilton! Edit- It will definitely be taller. The Dispatch mock up shows it on the tiny sliver of hill between the CC and the road below High St. Now if we could get something built between the Goodale garage and the Cap!
March 1, 20187 yr It's pretty raining and the windows are reflective from my office, but you can see the area the expansion will go. I agree based on footprint size, and the amount of rooms proposed, it will definitely be taller than the current Hilton, but to what extent we will see. Rather than just go to 1000 rooms, why not push it to 1,200, the demand is already there and is only going to grow....just my two cents though (updated for a less raining/clearer pic) Also I still don't know how to downsize the picture size so I apologize, anyone who can edit/modify be my guest haha
March 1, 20187 yr According to Biz1st, "Plans shown to Columbus and Franklin County officials show a tower of at least 23 stories built on the southern end of the convention center next to High Street with 17 floors with guest rooms, a ballroom, a restaurant and bar and additional meeting rooms" And they include this rendering, https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2018/03/01/downtown-hilton-seeking-to-expand-to-1-000-rooms.html

I like that 1,000,000 x's better than the tower at the opposite end of the convention center.
March 2, 20187 yr Awesome! The article states the building will be ~300 feet tall. If built at that height, we could potentially end up with a 300 foot tower, and two 400 foot towers (I think Millennial Tower will be 400 feet) being constructed at the same time. We haven't seen this level of development in terms of taller towers since the late 1980s.
March 2, 20187 yr Awesome! That's 23 floors from High St, but what about Convention Center Drive frontage two floors below High? Seems like a perfect spot for a hotel only garage. Perhaps even a small one for valet only.
March 2, 20187 yr The Dispatch article says we have 2,700 hotel rooms within a ten minute walk of the convention center. A lot of competitors have more, including Cleveland and Louisville, with Indianapolis leading the pack with 5,300. By my count, with the Moxy, Canopy Hilton, AC Marriott, Graduate, and this Hilton expansion we'll be at 3,787 rooms. All within three years, too.
March 2, 20187 yr Not that crazy about the rendering- too 1960s for my taste, but I'm sure it will change. I also hope they include some street-level retail space. That side of High desperately needs it. I wonder if they'll also eventually add onto the Hyatt at some point as well.
March 2, 20187 yr Not that crazy about the rendering- too 1960s for my taste, but I'm sure it will change. I don't mind it. It reminds me of a modern version of the Centre Point in London, if done right. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
