May 17, 200421 yr Author thats too much to do, maybe coldayman can do it :lol: i will try to see what i can come up with though
May 17, 200421 yr Two things: 1) What is the finish supposed to look like on Arena Crossing? I saw them last weekend, but I wondered how they are going to dress up the windows, what kind of trim work, etc. 2) That stuff on Summit between 1st and 2nd avenues extends west all the way to Mt. Pleasant St. It used to be a midrise tower for section 8 and senior tenants. I think it's supposed to be mixed-income housing now. I'd like to get inside and see what it looks like inside the block.
May 17, 200421 yr It'll be dark brick, grasscat. OSU has too much shit going on now for me to even care posting ;). "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
May 18, 200421 yr Concerning the two bridges between Broad St and I-70. The Main St Bridge will be the first one to be taken down and once that is completed (2006?) Columbus will follow through with replacing the Town St Bridge (I can't see Columbus closing both bridges at the same time. COSI and Franklintown would have a fit) That Spring St park was discussed by all who attended the Columbus meet (and stayed for part 2 after dinner). There was some public grousing over the new park because Columbus had droped a million or so on a refurbishment of the north bank of the Scioto, along Spring St, just a couple of years ago. The latest round of discussions concerning the Yankees AAA affliate are nothing new. For 4 years now, the City, county, and George Steinbrenner have been in discussion as to what they want to do with the Clippers. Stay at Cooper, move them to Whitter Peninsula, or move them to the "Arena District." It's a touchy subject due to neighborhood jealousy, the owners of the team (that being Franklin County) and the "city players" who are angling to get their piece of they like to believe to be a golden goose. We'll see. Sandor
June 24, 200420 yr great update. I didn't know the OSU Gateway project already had steel going up....I thought they were just doing utility work right now.
June 25, 200420 yr Great photo thread, SummitStreet. There are a lot of great projects going up in the downtown area. Also going up is The Terrace condo tower at Grant next to the main library downtown. There are also two medium-scale projects going on in the Discovery District: CSCC's new bookstore and the new student welcome center for CCAD (which are replacing 2 surface lots!). Scaffolding is going up for the construction to start on the 145 High condo tower also. In Harrison West, the A.C. Humco plant has been demolished to make way for a new urban residential village (similar to Jeffery Place) next to the Scioto River. Here are some of the renderings: http://www.harrisonwest.org
June 25, 200420 yr WOW, there's a lot more stuff going onto the former A.C. Humco site than I thought! I still see the dirt patch which will one day become Jeffrey Place everyday on my way to work. Is there any real work going on there right now? I think I heard something about utility work beginning soon?
June 25, 200420 yr Author yeah, wow, at the harrison west project. the jeffrey place is still a big dirt field from what i can tell. and good news about the downtown projects. anybody know anything about this:? and the scaffolding on one columbus, is that just to take down the provident sign or is something happening?

July 13, 200420 yr I was looking around http://www.downtowncolumbus.com and noticed they added a few more projects to their downtown housing list (along with some other upgrades to the website). Plus some of the housing websites that have been on there awhile have been updated.

July 13, 200420 yr Cool! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 13, 200420 yr more Columbus news: Columbus touts good credit The city of Columbus said Monday it has obtained AAA credit ratings, the highest possible, from the nation's two top credit rating agencies. Officials said they think Columbus is the only city of its size to obtain AAA ratings from Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's. The lofty rating allows the city to borrow money at more favorable interest rates. The city is planning $301.5 million in neighborhood projects for 2004 and expects to sell $600 million in bonds.
July 14, 200420 yr why can't we get something like the lofts on high in cincy. i'd kill for a place like that. maybe the new MED project will look something like that
July 16, 200420 yr Author the brunson building addition is goin up and the spring st. mystery building is at least being worked on
October 21, 200420 yr Better late than never but here is the new construction thread for Columbus LOFTS, LOFTS, AND MORE LOFTS!!! The Brunson Rendering Did I mention LOFTS? ConneXtions Lofts Rendering And another 60 Spring Rendering Guess whats next? You guessed it...... LOFTS (coming soon) Lofts at 106 Front of building Ok, had enough lofts for now? Me too, heres other stuff. Grant Rendering And finally...... I don't remember what they call this one This isn't it, more pics coming soon
October 21, 200420 yr Here's a couple more.... Buckeye Federal Building - Marriott Residence Inn extended-stay lodges The Terraces Rendering
October 21, 200420 yr Nice job! Thanks for showing the renderings along with the under-construction photos.
October 21, 200420 yr Excellent. Looks like there is a lot going on in Columbus. I first looked at the new construction on the first set of pictures (The Brunson) and really didn't like it. But it kinda grew on me a little, so now I'm not sure. Are there any other renderings of it?
October 21, 200420 yr what the hell?! thats cool and all that theres almost a new tall tower of lofts, but why doesnt it fit in with the building next to it?! That looks awful. Its great tho that Columbus is starting to get some downtown residential stuff, thumbs up to that.
October 21, 200420 yr Keep in mind also that all of those projects are stictly in the downtown core. The big areas of construction and renovation in this area are along the High St. and Gay St. corridors. Other projects downtown currently under construction include: Capitol Square: 8 on the Square Discovery District: Washington Rich Townhouses Arena District: Burnham Sqaure Condominiums Jones Day Office Building (325 McConnell Blvd) Columbus Eye Center (no rendering) 5 story 120,000 sq. ft. building with attached parking garage EcleXtion Lofts
October 21, 200420 yr Thanks cmh, I was too lazy to do all of them. 8 On The Square is a proposal. Do you know what the staus is on 8?
October 21, 200420 yr Some projects under construction in the neighborhoods immediately surrounding downtown: Brewery District: Brewer's Gate River West: The Buggyworks (no rendering) 120,000 sq. ft, 68 condominiums in first phase Short North: Parkview at Goodale Old Towne East The Broadwin Italian Village: Jeffrey Place Harrison West: Harrison Place (site of former A.C. Humko plant) University District: South Campus Gateway
October 21, 200420 yr G3000: Last I heard the developers were ready to tear down the 1970's-era buildings along High St. by the end of this year to start on the office portion of the project. They also have scaffolding and other materials on the buildings on the corner, so I think construction/demolition on part of the project has indeed started.
October 21, 200420 yr The Brunson is going to be a great project. It is being done by the same company who just did Parkview on Goodale park on the edge of 670 and victorian village. The company is amazing and leaves no deatail undone. I dont see anything other than the rendering of that on here. Also, does anyone have final pics of the arena crossing? half of the 250 something apartments have opened. IT looks really good, the best part is the walkway between the north market and the restaurant alley where bucca/starbucks/and gordon biersh are. The whole area blends beautifully. Also, construction has started on Burnham Square condos(ones across from archpark in arena district. the parking garage is finished. Expect this one to move fast as nationwide is doing it and has all the needed funds etc. Excelion lofts (sp?) is already gutted and being renovated as well. Expect that project to be completed by 2005 at the latest.
October 21, 200420 yr oh and that video monitor above the cvs/new office space is tres cool eh? just hope they complete the one on corner of broad/high as planned. Will look great together.

October 21, 200420 yr Great post. Where is that Terraces project mentioned way at the beginning G300?
October 22, 200420 yr The Terraces is going up in the Discovery District, near Grant Hospital and the main branch of the Columbus Public Library on S. Grant Ave.
October 22, 200420 yr Author Great post. Where is that Terraces project mentioned way at the beginning G300? i don't know how familiar you are with columbus, but it is sitting on the parcel where the 'fire exit' music venue was....then the fire department shut it down because it was about to collapse :lol: . it's also really close to the big hat that crosses over the road...and what cmh_downtown said
November 24, 200420 yr Way to go Key Bank for actually remaining committed to downtown! KeyBank gets approval for news ticker Downtown Talks with ONN on content continuing By Debbie Gebolys THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH KeyBank plans to display a 24-hour news ticker above the canopy that surrounds the bank’s Downtown offices at 3 rd and Broad streets. [email protected]
November 25, 200420 yr Author yay!! so now there will be a news ticker on key, a tv added onto 8 e. broad, another tv added at state and high, (plus the tv already on nationwide makes four big screens)... wow. now if only someone would take the other corner of capitol square and do something
November 26, 200420 yr YAY! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
December 20, 200420 yr I like what I'm reading here. Anyone have a pic of the block? From the 12/20/04 Columbus Business First: Revised plan for 100 E. Gay Brian R. Ball, Business First The developing market for housing along the historic East Gay Street corridor in downtown Columbus may get a contemporary neighbor in early 2006. Developer Tom Fortin wants to construct a seven-story condominium complex that would replace the 80-year-old office building at 100 E. Gay St. The $6 million project, dubbed Carlyles Watch, calls for 39 mid-priced condos plus ground-floor retail space. Fortin and investment partners Paul Sherlock and Andy Burgess bought the building in October for $715,000 through their Urban Loft Ventures LLC. Fortin began looking at the former Personal Service Insurance Co. building as a condo conversion project in February with an eye toward building atop the two-story structure and cutting out its brick-sealed window frames.

December 22, 200420 yr Gay St. is doing a complete 180. There are so many projects going on in this one little block that it's pretty amazing, and if this project goes through, it'll definitely add even more to the street. It'll also be nice to have more mid-priced condos downtown, as many of the new ones going up are luxury condominiums. There's a small rendering of the project on the front page of the Business First newspaper:
December 26, 200420 yr even if the lead developer is a little shaky the project sounds pretty good to me. i could do without more "ornamental arches," but the rendering looks nice.
January 25, 200520 yr Woohoo! Say so long to another surface parking lot! Olentangy Village expanding The owners of Olentangy Village are talking about building a loft apartment building next to Mozart’s bakery on High Street in Clintonville. The 17,000-square-foot building would abut High Street and contain first-floor retail space and 14 apartments above that. Olentangy Village already has plans to convert 74 of its 650 apartments into condominiums this spring. Sales are expected to start this spring. The condos will cost $180,000 to $260,000, General Manager Molly Carlson said. The Goodale Blvd corridor has been seeing a pretty decent amount of development recently through Grandview Heights. An affiliate of the Edwards Cos. has filed a plan with Grandview Heights zoning officials to renovate and expand an office building and a warehouse and build an office building on Goodale Boulevard. The $11 million project would add nearly 100,000 square feet of office and warehouse space.
