September 28, 20213 yr I like the design of the office and residential portions of the project but I don't get the plaza area, I see some seating but there's nothing on the ground floor of those buildings or inviting landscaping that that would activate the space or make it desirable. Also, the name for that street is Dickenson in keeping with the author theme in the area (streets to the north are Auden, Neruda etc) but it's Dickinson. Wish someone would have caught that spelling error because now it's permanent.
October 13, 20213 yr Plan for Southern End of Jeffrey Park Approved “ On Tuesday, the Italian Village Commission signed off on plans that will fill in one of the last remaining gaps in the development, bringing apartments and a parking garage right up to I-670, the southern edge of the site. The plans call for a five-story, 178-unit apartment building attached to a parking garage. A five-story, 90,000-square-foot office building is also part of those plans, although the developer – Thrive Companies – has said that that portion of the development will be built after the apartments and the 490-space parking garage. An amenity deck for residents will top the parking garage, and a central courtyard will connect up to a larger park space to the north.” https://www.columbusunderground.com/plan-for-southern-end-of-jeffrey-park-approved-bw1/?fbclid=IwAR0bpnGWYwlvOI5tf3-dHYByFszHQptaguu731jtcem1Z_E--FZ_fi4v1Dw

October 13, 20213 yr Yea, bummed they couldn't make something larger work here especially when Gravity 2 seems to be able to do it. Just seems like a missed opportunity to put a more recognizable, statement building in to complete Jeffrey Park.

If the demand for office does not really recover, they could always change their minds a build a taller residential building there.
October 18, 20213 yr Jeffrey Park (10-14-21) Phase 6 and 7 The Mason at Jeffrey Park Phase 8 View from the 3rd Street viaduct bike lane
December 14, 20213 yr An updated site map and update on the current construction phases at Jeffrey Park from Business First: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2021/12/14/jeffery-park-grant-park.html -- Phase eight, which includes more than 300 residential units, will be completed in about a year. -- The ninth phase of the Jeffrey Park is under construction, with a parking garage currently being built. The five-story parking garage will include 490 spaces and a rooftop amenity for neighboring apartment residents. There will be 110,000 square feet of office space in phase nine. Thrive CEO Kevin Zeppernick said there will potentially be two tenants taking up the entire building. -- The largest phase of development at Jeffrey Park will be its tenth, which will have a hotel, apartments and a parking garage. "As we have moved closer to the highway, we're stair-stepping into bigger, denser projects," Zeppernick said. -- With all 10 phases, the development will have 1,700 residential units. There will also be a central green space at Jeffrey Park that is in the process of getting approvals from the Italian Village Commission.

Love that they’re adding a hotel and more office space with the final phases. Would be great if they can get some restaurant/retail space in there too.

I get the short north is close, but having different areas of walkability are always great. With all of 4th, north of it being developed properly, seems like now would be a great time to add it in.

Those apartments to the east went up pretty quickly, and it looks like they’re already prepping the space for Phase Ten, in addition to starting work on the parking garage. I kinda wonder, though. Is there a way this and the Kroger Bakery dev could be connected underneath 670? I get that it’s different developers, but it would still be pretty cool—and beneficial to both sides—to have an easy passage.

I’d think it would make both living options even more attractive. The only access under 670 from Jeffery Park to the Kroger Bakery site is an overpass with 4 sets of very active railroad tracks that would also need to be crossed at grade. I believe there would also need to be egress through Ross Labs property. To get the railroads and Ross labs to go along with this would probably be next to impossible. Currently the shortest walking/biking route between to the two sites is 2nd Ave which goes under the railroad tracks to Cleveland Ave in Milo/Grogan. The condition of the walkway thru this underpass is an absolute disgrace. I sure hope there are plans somewhere with the City of Columbus to do something about this connection between Italian Village and Milo and points south on Cleveland Ave. In the Google Earth image the blue box is Jeffery Park and the Yellow box is the Kroger Bakery site. The red line is Second and Cleveland Ave.

December 21, 20213 yr Thrive Cos.' Jeffrey Park continues to rise in Italian Village The Jeffrey Park development continues to rise in Italian Village just north of I-670, after nearly a decade of work. The ninth and latest phase of the Thrive Cos. project is currently under construction, with a parking garage being built. The five-story parking garage will include 490 spaces and a rooftop amenity for neighboring apartment residents. There will be 110,000 square feet of office space in this part of the development.

January 11, 20223 yr More from Jeffrey Park and work continues on the newest parking garage on site, at the far south side of the property
March 27, 20223 yr I was looking at the meeting minutes for the upcoming Italian village commission meeting and saw this application for murals and media screens on Jeffrey Parks’ phase 9.

March 27, 20223 yr Agreed. The media screens don’t belong in Italian Village to me. the murals will be great though, and the short north alliance is submitting an application for 18 others along fourth, so they’ll definitely fit the vibe https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fcolumbusohdev.box.com%2Fs%2Fcfp1yab7lehl0pkdyfgrqy1i9god6dpe

March 28, 20223 yr 3 hours ago, Toddguy said: Any chance that something could go in on that little triangle between the tracks and south of Reynolds I believe? Probably not - it's railroad property. It could be a park with all the existing trees.

A park would be good-that would be something instead of just vacant shrubby nothingness. They could add some evergreens to match what is along the tracks on the other side. I mean the railroad is really not using it for anything, right? Maybe a small cheap pedestrian bridge over the tracks to connect it to Jeffrey Park(yeah I know this last part won't happen).
May 3, 20223 yr Also from the CU article: “Also set to be reviewed by the board at the meeting are two new additions to the Jeffrey Park development: The overall design and landscaping of the park that has long been planned for the center of the development, at the southeast corner of North Sixth and Cornelius Streets. Renderings of the 1.6-acre park, to be called Jeffrey Square, show space for two new public art installations. The latest plans for an office building that will be located south of the park, next to a parking garage and apartment building that were approved by the commission last year. The garage is currently under construction.” https://columbusunderground.com/new-apartments-proposed-for-italian-village-bw1/
May 3, 20223 yr I was looking at the street views around the proposed development above and was shocked by how much has changed. The first screenshot is from 2011 and the second is from 2020.

The tenth and final phase of the Jeffrey Park development will have about 275 apartments, including townhome units, and a roughly 360-space parking garage. Matt Negron, director of development for Thrive Cos., said, pending area commission and Columbus City Council approvals, the developer plans to start construction on the tenth phase at the end of summer 2023. As currently planned, the parking garage will be attached to the apartments, Negron said, essentially wrapped by the residential units.” https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2022/10/07/jeffrey-park-thrive-cos-phase-10.html
October 7, 20222 yr I’m disappointed this isn’t a hotel. I would have thought it would do well, especially with the event center across the street. I also was hoping for some retail. A rooftop would have great views from there.

I’m glad they’re at least including offices in Nine, and it sounds like they are already in talks to fill that building up. But I agree it really is a missed opportunity to have not included much retail, or the hotel. And a boutique hotel connected to Fox in the Snow would do well, I think.

October 24, 20222 yr What is the deal with hookah bars and crime? Is it because people are sobering up in them and therefore are super cranky?
October 25, 20222 yr I really don't have a problem with no real retail inside the development-as long as they can get some more along Fourth. The whole thing is very walkable to Fourth(I think it is all less than a quarter mile or 4 blocks from it). Fourth is the natural commercial street to serve the neighborhood. Now they need to get in there and maximize that. We should really appreciate the transformation. I recall driving by this site so many times 40 years or so ago on the way to OSU when it was a post-apocalyptic area referred to as "Little Hiroshima"-and it looked like it.
