That entire intersection of 4th and Spring and on up to Chestnut will have a whole new feel. I would absolutely love a 24/7 diner located somewhere near 4th and Spring. It's close enough to Columbus State you would have a steady crowd in the morning, and by the current bars on 4th street to be a late night option.

But hopefully Spring St would be turned into 2-way first -- that would really help to bring nicer pedestrian traffic between the new residential in the area. A whole string of parks to CSCC would make the area feel a lot like the Pearl District in Portland

That area is going to start filling in with residential and another building right there, should add at least some good visuals.

I want Abbot to leave downtown and go out to at least somewhere by the Airport. All they do is cause chaos with their semis. These aren’t small factories and warehouses - they’re huge and take up giant blocks of the street grid.

I work within a few blocks and haven't noticed - I assumed they would just hop on Fourth to 670 and stay out of the downtown area. It would be great if Abbott were gone and this could be reclaimed for the district, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Pushing for some degree of streetscape design on the new building and better screening of their parking area between 5th and Neilston would be a big help (and reasonable request) for what will hopefully be a redevelopment of the whole Mt Vernon corridor in the near future.

June 11, 20241 yr I think their corner of downtown is nicely out of the way for now. Agreed on getting them to spruce up the campus and be a better neighbor aesthetically and perhaps more eifficient land use and buffer zones but I've never heard anyone complain about the trucks until now. There's so much space downtown that this land isn't necessarily needed or ripe for redevelopment either. Like Rogue, it provides a different type of job that isn't office or hospitality to a core population. If we keep advocating for the displacement of the blue collar jobs to the outskirts, that increases demand for residential outside of the city. Now, once downtown is filled to the brim, perhaps it's might be a different conversation to have, but we are nowhere close to that.
June 11, 20241 yr The problem isn’t the truck traffic as much as it is the trailer drop lot. However considering what that plant produces it would take a lot to entice them to move in my opinion.

June 25, 2024Jun 25 Columbus College of Art and Design's latest project is moving forward "CCAD plans to turn Battelle Hall into a new Center for Creative Collaboration. The existing building will get interior renovations and technology updates, while a two-story, 10,000-square-foot addition will be built on the adjacent parking lot. An urban park also will be added as part of the project. Downtown Commission approved the design at their meeting on Tuesday, clearing the way for the project to begin this year. The Center for Creative Collaboration project is expected to cost about $15 million. Costs not covered by a CCAD fundraising campaign will come from other college funds, including the sale of 161 N. Grant Ave. to the Columbus Fashion Alliance, CCAD President Melanie Corn previously told Columbus Business First. https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2024/06/25/center-for-creative-collaboration.html

July 1, 2024Jul 1 On 2/27/2024 at 10:03 PM, ColDayMan said: New Plan Calls for More Units, Less Parking in Downtown Apartment Project The Downtown Commission this morning approved changes to the fourth phase of Pizzuti Companies’ Library Park development. The new plan calls for a building that is the same height and overall size as the one previously approved, but that contains more apartments and fewer internal parking spaces. Last May, the commission approved a seven-story, 120-unit building for the northwest corner of Oak and South Ninth Streets (they also approved the demolition of the existing 1930s-era apartment complex on the site). The building contained a three-story, 106-space parking garage. The new plan calls for two floors of parking to be removed, leaving the building with just 30 spaces in a first-floor garage. That frees up space for five new first-floor walkup units and 24 new apartments on the second floor.

The Columbus Downtown Commission Tuesday approved a proposal from Riewald Development for a seven-story, 131-unit apartment building on East Spring Street. The project will include about 2,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, which Riewald Development founder Jon Riewald said will be a restaurant or bar. The proposed building is slated for 267 to 281 E. Spring St. and would replace surface parking lots. "Parking lots are a gap in the urban fabric," Riewald told me. "This project would be engaging at the pedestrian level and a catalyst for other development in the area."

September 10, 2024Sep 10 City Grant to Help CCAD Convert Parking Lot into Park The Columbus College of Art & Design will use a $1.4 million capital grant from the City of Columbus to support its plans for the northwest corner of Gay Street and Washington Avenue. First proposed in March, the plan calls for a major renovation and addition to Battelle Hall, an 80-year-old building that was covered with large, beige panels in the 1970s. The two-story addition will extend the building into an existing parking lot, while the rest of the parking lot will be converted into a public greenspace with paths, trees and a variety of seating options.
