January 28, 201213 yr More about the above neighborhood next to Northland Village from This Week News: Meeting set to bring back Northland-area neighborhood By Kevin Parks, ThisWeek Community Newspapers Wednesday, January 18, 2012 - 10:02 PM The first step in the hoped-for revitalization of the Northland area’s Beaumont neighborhood will be an attempt to resurrect the civic association. Earlier this week, teams of student volunteers from Ohio State University were scheduled to fan out along 13 walking routes through the ethnically diverse and economically depressed area south and east of the former Northland Mall. They distributed one-page flyers, in a variety of languages, announcing an organizational meeting for a new Beaumont Civic Association to be held on Thursday, Feb. 16, beginning at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center, 4340 Tamarack Blvd. The meeting to bring back a civic group that went out of existence four years ago when its membership had dwindled to only four people is the first step in a project being undertaken by a consortium of nonprofit organizations gathered under the auspices of the Northland Alliance.

August 29, 201212 yr City restarts update of Northland Plan I By Kevin Parks, ThisWeek Community News Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 1:33 PM Plans for the plan are back on track. The process for breathing new life into a 10-year-old document relating to land use and urban design in what's often called "traditional" Northland has been jump-started once again. Slightly over a year after the Northland Community Council entered into an agreement with city officials to update Northland Plan I, which was expected to take about a year, the clock is ticking once again. (...) According to a Facebook page created by city officials, Northland residents interested in participating can do so by "attending public workshops or by submitting your ideas and comments to the plan website." That website is http://development.columbus.gov/planning/northland.aspx. It includes links to not only the survey but also to a plan input form. The Northland I planning area is located northeast of downtown, just east of Worthington and southwest of Westerville, according to information from the city. The planning area is generally bound by I-270 on the north and east; Cooke, Ferris and Morse roads on the south; and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks and Huntley Road on the west. The area covers approximately 17.7 square miles. READ MORE: http://www.thisweeknews.com/content/stories/northland/news/2012/07/16/city-restarts-update-of-northland-plan-i.html
August 31, 201212 yr A little more about the evolving Northland area of Columbus from this recent Dispatch article. One of the neighborhood's community groups, The Northland Alliance, hosted its first international festival last weekend at the Northland Performing Arts Center - part of the renovated and rebuilt former Northland Mall site. Festival will celebrate Northland’s immigrants By Mark Ferenchik, The Columbus Dispatch Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 7:55 AM The Northland area will host its first international festival this weekend in what is becoming one of Columbus’ most-diverse neighborhoods. Organizers hope to connect more immigrants and refugees to the Northland community, a task that has been difficult as newcomers struggle with language and cultural barriers. But they also hope to convince city leaders of the need for a welcome center to help thousands of immigrants connect with social services, job training and schools and get answers to their many questions about living in a new country. (. . .) Northland has been changing for more than a decade as refugees from Somalia and Bhutan and immigrants from Mexico, western Africa and other places have moved to the area, lured by low rents in aging apartments and a growing number of retailers catering to them.

More below: http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/print-edition/2012/09/28/retailers-restaurants-pile-into.html Is this the area referred to earlier as the future "mixed-use Commons in the center of Northland Village"? Business First also refered to this area in a site plan graphic from a July 2010 article as a "future town center". (posted below) Site plan graphic from the 2010 Business First article 'Menards gets ball rolling at revamped Northland' along with a 1964-2010 timeline of the Northland Mall/Northland Village site:
October 5, 201212 yr ^ I can answer the question I posed above. Is the new 16,000 sq. ft. retail going into Northland Village part of the future "mixed-use Commons/future town center" that was mentioned back in 2010? The answer is no. Below is a copy of the location map that was part of last week's Business First article: Northland site attracting more retailers, restaurants. The on-line version of the article didn't include this map, so I had to scan in a paper copy. The new retail centers going into Northland Village are located just northeast of the "future town center" area. Near the Tamarack & Morse intersection - on both sides of where Tamarack Boulevard crosses Morse Road and enters the Northland Village property.
June 20, 201410 yr It looks like the "Future Town Center" part of the redeveloped Northland Village is no longer happening.

November 22, 20168 yr Surprise announcement from Huntington Bank that they will be renovating a vacant Meijer store at 5555 Cleveland Avenue into a huge operations center for the bank. The article mentions both Northland and the Linden neighborhoods. But this planned center is located in Northland (its north of the nearby Linden neighborhoods). So it's getting posted in this thread: Huntington adding 1,000 jobs; makes commitment to Northland, Linden neighborhoods By JD Malone, The Columbus Dispatch Tuesday, November 22, 2016 - 10:31 AM Huntington Bank will create an $18 million office space out of a former Meijer store on Cleveland Avenue as part of a pledge to hire 1,000 new workers in Columbus and make $300 million in loans available in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods. The plans for the Huntington Gateway Center at 5555 Cleveland Avenue show a glass facade adorning the former Meijer store, which will open the middle of next year and house employees working in the company's technical and operational departments. The office will open with 1,400 workers and will be able to hold about 1,600 workers eventually. ( . . . ) The city is hailing the project as a big boost for the Northland and Linden neighborhoods. Meijer closed the Cleveland Avenue store earlier this year, noting that the old store couldn't be remodeled to suit Meijer's current retail format. ... The site will include a COTA rapid transit bus hub as well as a large parking lot to give employees several options for commuting.

And without being able to view the full article, the seven recommendations couldn't be viewed by most UO members. But the full article now appears to be viewable for everyone. So here it is: 7 Ways to Save Morse Road Business First - February 5, 2016 Many were ready to write Morse Road’s obituary when Northland Mall closed in 2002. But investments by the city of Columbus, Franklin County, state of Ohio and Dublin-based developer Stonehenge Co. have redeveloped the site into a mix of buildings that house Franklin County Job and Family Services, Franklin County Dog Shelter, Ohio Department of Taxation, a Menards hardware store and a number of restaurants and retailers on outparcels along the south side of Morse Road. This estimated investment of $100 million by the public and private sectors has pumped new life into the former Northland Mall site and is helping maintain the viability of the Morse Road commercial corridor. But those familiar with that part of Columbus and economic development in general say more needs to be done to protect that investment and prevent Morse Road. Here are seven additional steps that can be taken to sustain and strengthen the Morse Road corridor: http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/print-edition/2016/02/05/7-ways-to-save-morse-road.html

August 5, 20195 yr New housing project pitched in Northland National Church Residences is taking its building surge to the Northland area. The senior housing developer is seeking financing for a four-story, 76-unit development at 999 East Dublin-Granville Road, off Roche Drive and just south of State Route 161 and I-71 in the Northland neighborhood. The not-yet-named community would consist of one-bedroom units targeting seniors 62 and above with low incomes. It intends to submit an application for a rental assistance contract and $5 million advance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development next month for the project, and will also apply for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to fund the development. If approved, this would be the first tax credit-funded project in the neighborhood. The Northland Community Council approved the project on June 26, with variances for parking and building height. It will be built on an undeveloped piece of land near several commercial buildings. NCR plans to serve as developer, owner and management agent of the project. If it obtains the needed financing in the next funding rounds, construction would begin in spring of 2021.

Architect Jeffrey Glavan, representing property owner Elsie Jean-Baptiste, took the plans to the Northland Community Council’s development committee Aug. 25 to seek comment on the redevelopment of 6000 Beechcroft Road in the Sharon Woods neighborhood. The hope is to rezone the site from C-4, a commercial use, to AR-1, an apartment zoning. ... Glavan will return to development committee Sept. 29 with a firmer plan, although the details remain unclear at this point.

November 27, 20213 yr Posting this here since I believe nothing has been reported before about this Preferred Living dev. Sounds like the council is upset it’s not low-density enough for them. Proposed apartments on Sinclair Road not welcome, Northland Community Council official says “A local developer wants to build a 144-unit apartment complex along Sinclair Road in the midst of a mostly residential area. Preferred Living, which has built numerous apartment buildings across central Ohio, wants to raze three houses and put up the apartment building on 6.7 acres on the west side of Sinclair Road essentially between Worthington Forest Place and Shore Drive. The development would require a rezoning from suburban residential to AR-1, or apartment residential district, according to the site plan filed with the city of Columbus. Bill Logan, vice chairperson of the committee and a member of the Northland Community Council, said the Preferred Living proposal is not welcome in the area based on the Northland 1 Area Plan and concerns from the neighboring Salem Village Civic Association. “It’s our responsibility to defend the Northland plan,” he said. “We developed it.” “Northland is replete with parcels that are ripe for redevelopment. Yet, here we are eating into a prime single-family residential environment.” The Northland I Area Plan recommends that anything at the location bounded by Interstate 270 should be low-to-medium density residential. The plan notes a typical density of four to six units per acre that may be characterized by lower density townhouses and condominiums, according to the planning staff. The issue was expected to go before the NCC's development committee, which acts only in an advisory capacity, on Dec. 1. Columbus City Council will have the ultimate say on the variances and rezoning.” https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/communities/northland/2021/11/27/proposed-apartments-sinclair-road-not-welcome-northland-community-council-official-says/8735513002/?utm_source=dispatch-Daily Briefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_briefing&utm_term=list_article_headline&utm_content=OHIO-COLUMBUS-NLETTER65

May 14, 20223 yr I don’t think there’s really anything new, but here’s a look at the development, and population growth, in Northland from the Dispatch. Northland has seen a few high profile crimes so far this year, so hopefully the city can get that under control before it hurts this area’s momentum. Residential development, particularly for seniors, continues in growing Northland area “Look around the Northland area and you'll see a lot of construction going on. The nonprofit National Church Residences has built or is building three apartment complexes for people 55 and older, with a total of 232 units. The nonprofit Homeport is also building apartments in Northland on Maple Canyon Avenue near Beechcroft High School, a 56-unit development called Maple Meadows. And the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority is constructing the 180-unit Sinclair Apartments on Sinclair Road on the former Alrosa Villa site, also in Northland.“ https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2022/05/13/push-housing-continues-northland-area/9706286002/

The initial part of the project has started at Maple Canyon & 161: "The project includes creating roundabouts on Maple Canyon several blocks north and south of Route 161. Also, pedestrian and bike facilities will be added, new traffic signals installed, pavement widened and resurfaced and raised medians on Maple Canyon."
