How big is this portion supposed to be?

I think they're working on phase nine right now:

 

"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."

There is a special place in heaven for the UO photographers.  Photo drops are always appreciated. Especially from those who live a bit far from the action and I am sure for those who may want to keep up but are not in Central Ohio either anymore or right now.

 

Also I assume they have still not started on the office portion? I hope they drop it and build a 20 story residential tower instead. WFH is here to stay why not just keep it residential?

Here we can see Greenhouse and Parkside on Pearl in the background.

 

Here we can see the Peer crane, Rambler crane, Verve, Crossline, and 4th and 5th in the background.

And to think I used to drive by this 40 years ago on the way to OSU when it was called "little Hiroshima" and it looked the part. And here it is now. Glad to see it.

And work is underway on the park as well

 

The park is sorely needed. Does anyone have a link to more info on what the park will feature? Hopefully an area designated for dogs.

Didn't see many details on the park.  Only thing I could find is this:

 

"There will also be a central green space at Jeffrey Park that Thrive Cos. has worked with the Italian Village Commission on.  They hope to open the park, which is planned to be over an acre, in the spring of 2023. It would be the largest park in Italian Village.

It's unfortunate that they don't appear to have plans for a playground. If we really want to have a healthy, vibrant, and diverse city, we should be sure to keep families in mind when planning our developments.  

Except for the lack of a playground, it looks like it will be a nice little park.

 

More leisure paths upon which people may stroll.

Thrive Cos. is leasing its latest speculative office building

 

The newest office building at Thrive Cos. Jeffrey Park development is now pre-leasing.

 

The six-story, 101,000-square-foot speculative office building is expected to be finished by the end of 2024.

 

Matt Negron, director of development for Thrive Cos., said the office's exposure from I-670 could be attractive to prospective tenants. The building will be the first thing many see driving past Italian Village or taking an exit to downtown Columbus.

 

The office building is next to a 490-space parking garage and a 177-unit apartment building, which are also amenities for the office building.

263 Units Proposed for Final Phase of Jeffrey Park Development

 

 

The tenth and final phase of the Jeffrey Park development will be going before the Italian Village Commission next week. The latest plans call for a 257-unit, five-story apartment building at the southeast corner of North Fourth and Warren Streets.

 

South of the apartment building, along the exit ramp from I-670 that merges onto Fourth, a three-story parking garage would be constructed. The 313-space garage would be lined on its east side by six townhomes.

 

A 3,200-square-foot amenity space for residents is planned for the top floor of the apartment building, designed to take advantage of Downtown views over the garage.

Love that they are actually building it right along the exit ramp, but good god, cover the top floor of the parking garage. 

This is going to look amazing along 4th! Cannot wait for this to finish up. Hopefully something goes in the empty parking lot on the other side of 4th. 
 

this is from the CU article and shows the building along 4th

I think the catholic diocese owns it. 
 

I would personally LOVE if someone bought all that land and turned it into a Little Italy since it’s Italian Village. I see a market, restaurants, pastry shops, and a plaza. 
 

If only I had money lol

That would be amazing, sure better than sitting pretty much empty everyday other than during the Italian village festival. 
 

it’s such a large lot that it could be something awesome.

Some of phase nine at Jeffrey Park becoming noticeable from 4th St

 

 

 

Phase ten will really change the feel of 4th St in the area, as it will be right up against the 670 off ramp merge with 4th St

Such an impressive aerial photo. Amazing that whole area all the way up to 1st Ave was dead space. Impressive how the mixed use development on Lane Ave. on the Upper Arlington border is quite clearly visible towards the middle horizon of the photo.

Or just some buildings that vary in height. It is decently dense, but I think it could be even better.

Windowless, long manufacturing buildings with large parking lots on 4th? 

 

But it’s ✨older✨ so it’s 💕✨better✨💕

One of the new streets in the latest phase of Jeffrey Park is partially open now-

Snatched a few as we passed through earlier today

 

 

 

 

 

Glad something is happening with this building. Hopefully they keep some of the cool features inside. I’m curious to see what type of retail it will become. 

Edit: looking at the address of the owner, it matches to a beer and wine market, so I’m guessing that is probably what it will be

It's a cool building, glad to see it repurposed but the parking lot is really awkward.

Yeah, the parking shouldn’t even be there. It’s a dense neighborhood and could very easily be turned into grass or greenery of some sort. 

Nothing crazy, but this should be good infill for the area. Tried to get the renderings from the commission but didn’t get a response. 
 

edit to add: it’s also Roby so it should look good and will be a little better quality.

Elevator cores rising on the tenth and final phase at Jeffrey Park

While I wish Jeffrey park was better than it is, this final phase will help 4th street feel more connected to downtown. Once that building pops over those trees along the exit ramp, it will feel nicely dense. Now hopefully the parking lot to the west of this gets filled in at some point.

I will never give up on my dream for that parking lot to be a Little Italy with condos/apartments with a plaza in the center lol.

Thrive Cos. adds more apartments for final phases of Jeffrey Park

Thrive Cos. has revised plans for the final phases of its Jeffrey Park development in Italian Village.

The revised plans show the developer dropping a proposed office building and parking garage and instead building additional apartments, according to documents Thrive submitted to the Italian Village Commission.

The plans will be presented on a conceptual basis at the commission's Tuesday meeting.

Thrive Cos. has been working for more than a decade to develop the 41-acre site just north of I-670 that housed the former Jeffrey Manufacturing plant, which closed in 1999.

Overall, it's kind of an amazing transformation. The photo above is close to the same vantage point as this historic photo of the manufacturing plant.

Without trying to sound cheap, I'm not from the area but love reading about Cbus development. Can anyone save the article as a PDF and post it?

We cannot post full articles, sorry.

Thrive Cos. gets feedback on plan to shift Jeffrey Park's next phase from office to residential

Thrive Cos. has revised plans for the final phases of its Jeffrey Park development in Italian Village to add more residential units in place of previously proposed office space and structured parking.

Matt Negron, vice president of development for Thrive Cos., said the group tried unsuccessfully for three years to find the right tenant for the speculative office building that had originally been planned for Phase 9 of the project.

"This hasn't been the best time to be leasing office here in Columbus ... the office market's just been tough," he told Columbus Business First.

Negron said it made sense to add more residences given Jeffrey Park has a current occupancy rate of between 90-95% among the existing 1,600 residential units.
