The latest concept calls for a four-story building that will hold 78 apartments, a first-floor parking garage, and about 1,900 square feet of retail space.

April 22, 20196 yr On 3/8/2017 at 1:09 AM, ColDayMan said: Developers of Shipping Container Apartments Looking to Disrupt Real Estate Industry The developers of a 25-unit apartment building taking shape on Old Leonard Avenue think that they are onto something big, and a quick look at the project’s timeline shows why. After breaking ground in November, it took just five days to stack and weld 54 shipping containers together to form the basic shape of the three-story building. The first residents could move in to one of the 640 square-foot, two-bedroom units as soon as May. “Time is money,” said Derrick Pryor, Principal of AES Development, “that’s one of the major benefits of this way of building.” More below: http://www.columbusunderground.com/developers-of-shipping-container-apartments-looking-to-disrupt-real-estate-industry-bw1 https://www.dispatch.com/business/20190422/work-to-resume-on-landmark-cargominium-shipping-container-complex It appears that the Cargominium apartment project went up quickly - but after the containers were wrapped with a stucco exterior, work came to a halt last year. Now, according to the above linked Dispatch article, a new developer is stepping in to rescue the project on Old Leonard Avenue. Below is a photo showing how far along Cargominium got before work halted. The new development group said they will also finish developing the CargoHome sister project - single-family homes built of shipping containers on Bassett Avenue - around the corner from Cargominium. Construction stopped on that project after one of the homes was framed in.

May 15, 20196 yr This affordable housing project helps keep parents in college, and it's growing A growing affordable housing development on the Near East Side is seeing success helping underprivileged parents get their college degrees. Stretching down North 17th Street south of East Long Street, Columbus Scholar House is a unique affordable housing concept with a larger mission. Constructed by the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, the King-Lincoln development houses young parents – though not limited to single parents – who need housing while they complete a degree. Nearly 70 percent of the students enrolled are still working part time to support the household, Chad Ketler, CEO of property manager Community Properties of Ohio, said during a tour.

June 6, 20196 yr Columbus council OKs funds for commercial-residential project on Near East Side Columbus City Council on Tuesday signed off on providing an estimated $5.4 million in public funds for a new 130-unit apartment complex to be constructed atop 10,000 square feet of commercial space on the Near East Side. “Our intent is to break ground in the fall and to be open by the beginning of 2021,” said Matthew Canterbury, a senior vice president with Columbus-based developer Borror, which is partnering with lead firm Kingsley and Company. The new project in the 800 block of Long Street just across from the Lincoln Theatre will incorporate the facade of a building that used to sit on the site, the former McNabb Funeral Home — once the location of one of the city’s earliest successful African-American financial institutions.

Looks like they changed the brick on the lower parking podium level to a cream colored brick instead of continuing the darker brick color used on the upper stories. The original design (shown above) used the same brick from top to bottom - which IMO would have been a better choice. The change in brick color highlights the parking podium level, instead of appropriately downplaying it, as the original design did. Too bad, because its an otherwise good looking project.

August 12, 20195 yr Near East Side Group to Refocus After Loss of Funding A shakeup in its funding structure has led to some significant changes for Partners Achieving Community Transformation (PACT), a Near East Side organization that has been active in the neighborhood for almost 10 years. PACT was formed in 2010 as a joint venture, with funding and oversight provided in equal parts by the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), the City of Columbus and Ohio State University. The organization spearheaded the development of a plan for the neighborhood, and has since supported programming designed to implement the recommendations of that plan. The city and CMHA recently decided to end their involvement in PACT, leading to a reduction in staff. Ohio State will continue its support, and Autumn Glover, Government Affairs and Community Relations Consultant for OSU, will continue to work out of the organization’s office at 211 Taylor Ave., assuming the role of Interim President. As one of the original staff members at PACT and the former Director of Planning and Community Development, Glover has seen the organization evolve as the neighborhood changed around it, something she says will need to continue now. ( . . . ) The ending of the city’s support of PACT comes as Mayor Andrew Ginther has focused more on city-wide initiatives aimed at tackling issues like affordable housing, mobility and infant mortality. That means less support for neighborhood-specific programs like PACT (which was initiated by the previous administration).

August 12, 20195 yr https://www.columbusunderground.com/demolished-to-rise-again-what-streetlight-guild-means-for-black-columbus-tm1 An article from CU about the Streetlight Guild, which recently opened at 1367 E. Main St., south of Broad Street in Olde Towne East. The venue held an official opening on June 22 and consists of a first-floor performance venue space, and a second-floor gallery space. The article also mentioned a long-vacant one-story building at the corner of Long & Garfield in the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood that contained murals by the late artist Jeff Abraxas that was demolished in May 2019. In the comments section, the owner of that building replied that they had received an emergency demolition order from the City of Columbus. However, before demolition began, they had a photographer take high resolution pictures of the murals, and hope to incorporate those images in a new building they have planned for that corner. The owner also included those mural images in his reply. Below is a streetview image of that building showing the murals on the building:

The project, which was built on a vacant lot at 122 Parsons Avenue, contains a total of 78 units over a first floor parking garage and a corner commercial space. The apartments range in size from a 500-square-foot studio to several townhome-style units – clocking in at over 1,700 square feet – that feature outdoor balconies with downtown views. Rents range from $945 per month to over $2,000. Interest in the project has been strong, according to representatives of Metropolitan Holdings, although they are working hard to get the word out to people who may not already be familiar with the neighborhood. Incentives being offered to prospective tenants include a $1,000 Visa gift card, as well as coupons for some of the local businesses within walking distance of the building, like Upper Cup Coffee.

December 20, 20195 yr ‘Unique Partnership’ Has High Hopes for Near East Side Project A plan to build new apartments and renovate a long-vacant building across from East High School was awarded Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits today. That means the project, which has been working its way through the Near East Area Commission approval process, will be moving forward. It also means that a partnership that formed two years ago to come up with a solution for the troubled site may start to see its efforts pay off. Rev. Dr. Otha Gilyard is the senior pastor at Shiloh Baptist Church and the former president of the Ohio Baptist General Convention, which has owned the ornate brick building at 48 Parkwood Ave. – along with the two adjacent buildings to the south – for decades. Although the organization has not used the building as its headquarters since the mid-90s, various plans to renovate and utilize all three of the building failed to come to fruition, and they each fell into a state of disrepair. “We were thinking we could [develop the buildings] on our own… but we discovered that we really didn’t have the resources to make that work,” said Dr. Gilyard. “You can always sell property like that, but it’s always better if you can do something constructive with it, and make it viable again.” More below: https://www.columbusunderground.com/unique-partnership-has-high-hopes-for-near-east-side-project-bw1 "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
January 22, 20205 yr Mixed-Use Development Proposed for Olde Towne East A proposal to build a mixed-use development at the northeast corner of 18th and Oak streets in Olde Towne East is beginning to work its way through the approval process.

A total of 278 parking spots would be provided; 146 of them in a first-floor garage, the others in adjacent parking lots. Currently occupying the site is the Central Seventh Day Adventist Church, a parking lot, and an empty field. The church building, most of which dates to the mid-nineties, would be demolished to make way for the new development. An existing single family home at 946 Oak St. is not part of the project and would remain. https://www.columbusunderground.com/mixed-use-development-proposed-for-olde-towne-east-bw1

Developer revising plans for Olde Towne East apartment project A proposed 117-unit apartment building in the heart of redeveloping Olde Towne East has stirred up residents who think it is too big and out of character for the neighborhood. Metropolitan Holdings plans to build the five-story building at the northeast corner of Oak and South 18th streets, a bustling area that features Yellow Brick Pizza, Camelot Cellars and the Olde Towne Tavern among other businesses. The project has spurred the latest battle between developers and residents in increasingly desirable central city neighborhoods. “We are not opposed to development,” said Sierra Swanson, who lives across the street from the site. But she said the development as it stands now is too tall and dense for anything else in the area. https://www.thisweeknews.com/business/20200305/developer-revising-plans-for-olde-towne-east-apartment-project
March 6, 20205 yr Really wish Columbus would overhaul zoning codes citywide so developments that are clearly appropriate for an area didn’t need to jump through so many hoops.
March 6, 20205 yr 'It needs to fit in with the neighborhood, it's too big. We want more businesses but we hate how yellow brick and olde towne tavern affect our parking and complain about it. Why cant it match what is existing. And NEVER. NEVERRRRR. WILL WE ALLOW A BUILDING TO BE A HANDFUL OF FEET TALLER THAN OUR ELEVATED 2 STORY HOMES WITH FULL ATTIC! THATS TOOOOOOO TALLLLLLLL' But in seriousness. How does a city develop beyond log cabins if the argument is that it always has to match? Columbus needs to find that happy place between Chicago and where Columbus is now in terms of community control. For smaller projects, these kinds of conversations are moot. Modern gets build next to old. 4 stories next to 2. And infill is rapid. (There are many more nuances and issues in Chicago than that implies but for the purposes of a project like this, or the GV Hotel etc, people don't *usually* bat an eye, let alone get caught up in year and years of approval processes). Let the commissions have their say on designs and materials and that's about it. I can't wait to see the crap show the day that the lot behind houndogs in ONC eventually gets developed....
