March 21, 20187 yr Project Update: Legacy Pointe at Poindexter Work continues at the Legacy Pointe at Poindexter on the Near East Side, with construction on the last phase of the development scheduled to start soon. When we checked in on the project in 2016, senior apartments had just been completed and work had started on the second phase of residential buildings. Recent updates have shown even more buildings being completed over the course of 2017. The 16-acre development, which was first announced in 2014, is designed to provide residential options for a mix of income levels. The demand for each type of unit has been strong so far, according to Robert Bitzenhofer of the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA).

March 23, 20187 yr Not gonna lie I'm pretty disappointed in the density of the Poindexter buildout... They could have easily put the same number of units or more from the total project on half the land Going through the parts that are complete f e e l r e a l l y j u s t s o d a m n s p r e a d o u t Every structure is set back from the street and each other an almost ridiculous amount. The buildings themselves feel like a thin veneer screening their massive surface parking lots, and there's an additional huge amount of unnecessary and useless greenspace almost everywhere It's like the motivation was just to use up all the land available no matter what they put on it. Everything is spread so thin...

Everything is spread so thin... I've thought the same things since seeing the initial development plan. I understand wanting to differentiate it from the housing the tore town that felt like sardines, but this is the polar opposite. Poor land planning, strange density (just look at the historic homes nearby -- they have twice the density of these semi-attached units), and a poor choice of aesthetic that already looks stale. I hope it accomplishes what they wanted for low-income housing, but it really could have been so much more successful.
April 4, 20187 yr Mixed-Use Project Moving Forward in Olde Towne East A new proposal for the southeast corner of Oak Street and South Ohio Avenue will add a major mixed-use element to already-approved plans for residential construction on the north side of the street. Together, the projects promise to completely transform the Olde Towne East intersection. The Columbus Food Hub, a small business incubator that facilitated the rise of restaurants like Hot Chicken Takeover and J Hot Fish – among many others – will likely close for good in the next few months, as plans for the project move forward.

When PACT (Partners Achieving Community Transformation, a consortium of the City, the Housing Authority and the Ohio State University) was formed to revitalize this part of the Near East Side, it was based on the group formed to revitalize the Weinland Park neighborhood (City, OSU & Wagenbrenner Development). But the quality of the PACT/CMHA urban infill is far below the quality of the Weinland Park urban infill led by Wagenbrenner. Which is a shame because the template for great urban infill was available in Weinland Park to be replicated here. And the individual buildings built by PACT/CMHA look pretty decent. But like you said, i t s j u s t s o s p r e a d o u t !

June 7, 20187 yr University Hospital East plans for day when iconic round tower will come down Before Ohio State University commits to a $26 million surgery addition at University Hospital East, hospital officials wanted to make sure it's going in the right place – so they've sketched out many years' worth of redevelopment plans that would dramatically reshape a skyline landmark on the Near East Side. In several years, East's distinctive round 16-story tower – added in 1971 – will be replaced. The entire campus will expand and shift slightly westward, opening more green space along Taylor Avenue, according to a draft master plan presented Wednesday to OSU Wexner Medical Center trustees. Last year OSU bought 2.7 acres immediately west of the hospital from the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, making room for eventual expansion.

July 3, 20186 yr Three-Story Residential Building Planned for Oak and Wilson A three-story condominium development has been proposed for the corner of Oak Street and Wilson Avenue on the Near East Side. The six-unit building marks the first new-build project from Eye Homes, a company that has been active in rehabbing properties in the neighborhood. The new building would sit on the northeast corner of the intersection, south of a large historic home that is slated for renovation as part of the project. Each 2,200-square-foot unit will feature three bedrooms, a rooftop deck and a two-car garage. Esteban Saldarriaga, who owns and operates Eye Homes along with his wife, Erika, said that the goal is to break ground in October, although that timeline will depend on getting final approval for the design from the Near East Area Commission.

October 12, 20186 yr Three-Story Apartment Building Proposed for King-Lincoln District A local developer wants to build a three-story apartment building on a tucked-away lot in the King-Lincoln District. The 25-unit building would sit at 932 E. Gay St. and would require the demolition of one single family house. A 25-space surface lot would provide parking for the apartments, a mix of studios and small one-bedroom units. The proposal comes from Urban Land Co, a development firm founded in 2015 by Chase Miller and Nick Harpster. The two partners, who both previously worked for Lifestyle Communities, also run a real estate management firm called Link Real Estate Group.

November 13, 20186 yr New Housing Concept Could Be Headed to Near East Side Local architect Jonathan Barnes has spent much of the last year working on a housing concept that he thinks may be unique in the country. And with a site selected on the Near East Side to build a prototype, he is hopeful that his vision will come to fruition soon. Barnes formed a nonprofit organization, Betterhood, to implement the idea, which he describes as “entrepreneurial housing.” The concept calls for townhouse-style infill development, but with some important twists. “It’s a hybrid-ownership housing product, with an owner’s unit and rental units, something that’s already familiar in urban areas,” Barnes said, citing the traditional townhouse or brownstone model, in which an owner lives on the first floor while renting out the basement and upper floors. “That model has inherent issues, though, like inefficient circulation and inconvenient access.” More below: https://www.columbusunderground.com/new-housing-concept-could-be-headed-to-near-east-side-bw1 "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

That would really help connect the areas and really give a boost to KLB. A lot of the area in between could include student housing as well. We need to develop our main corridors with density. We need to replicate at least some kind of version(if somewhat watered down)of High in the Short North on some of these corridors. Heck start on both ends and build towards eachother until the development meets in the middle.

March 23, 20196 yr ^ More about that new co-working space at East Main & Wilson (1223 E. Main Street) from the Dispatch: (including a rendering below) New coworking space coming to Near East Side Co-working space is cropping up in hot markets such as the Short North and German Village, but one coming to the Near East Side is seen as a significant step toward the continued revitalization of the historic neighborhood. The three-story brick building on E. Main Street near Wilson Avenue that opened in 1907 as a grocery topped by apartments will soon be called The Merchant, a co-working space developed by Danielle Rohrbach and Melissa Dickson. In December, Rohrbach and Melissa Dickson were awarded $191,000 in state historic tax credits for the building renovation, estimated at $1.5 million. The extensive overhaul will include restoring the original brick, woodwork and wood floors, and replacing the windows with new ones that maintain the building’s historic character. ... The partners plan to open The Merchant in the fall. More details will be available as the project progresses at https://themerchantcolumbus.com/. The partners also acquired two other historic buildings on the same block that will become a small apartment building and retail space. Those projects, estimated to carry a combined price tag of just under $1.1 million, received historic tax credits of $170,000. ...
