August 21, 201410 yr Here is one of those smaller residential projects that didn't make the above listing of "12 More New Apartment Developments Around Columbus". It's a small project, but it's pretty nice. And it will be replacing a surface parking lot that's on the edge of a nicely preserved older residential enclave in downtown. It's actually part of an Olde Towne East neighborhood that was split up by I-71 many years ago. This residential enclave is on the downtown side of that larger neighborhood and visually holds together quite well. This Rich Street project should only strengthen this area. Hawthorn Grove Apartments on Rich Street Moving Forward By: Brent Warren, Columbus Underground Published on November 26, 2013 - 8:00 am The Community Housing Network (CHN) is moving forward with plans to build a 40-unit apartment building on an empty lot at 546-558 East Rich Street Downtown. The $6 million project, called Hawthorn Grove, was given the go-ahead last week by the Historic Resources Commission. CHN Development Manager Ryan Cassell said that they plan to take it to the December Downtown Commission meeting for final approval. The next step, he said, is to finalize financing, then hopefully start construction in the spring with the goal of completion by spring of 2015. CHN will also manage the property once it is completed.

September 4, 201410 yr http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2014/09/04/downtowns-population-growth-slowly-attracts-restaurants-shops.html This article talks about the growing population in Downtown Columbus, which is now over 7,000, or about 1,000 more than it was in 2010. So about 250 people added per year, which would translate to 8,500 by 2020. However, given the current pace of residential construction projects, they're predicting about 8,600 by the end of next year alone, which gives an average annual growth rate through next year of about 520. This translates to a 2020 population of 11,200, which would be the highest since the early 1950s. I'm definitely leaning more towards the higher number being the reality, and 11,200 may end up being a bit too low. Here's a list of what's been completed, what's under construction, and what's planned. Completed since 2010: Commons at Buckingham: 100 Units Seneca Hotel conversion: 76 Units Annex at RiverSouth: 214 Units Flats on Vine: 232 Units The Abigail: 35 Units Neighborhood Launch Phase I: 300 Units 34 E. Gay: 1 Unit 600 Goodale: 174 Units HighPoint at Columbus Commons: 302 Units The Flats II: 120 Units Lazarus House: 3 Units Yankee Trader: 11 Units Total: 1,567 Under Construction and Planned through 2015 The Normandy at Neighborhood Launch: 130 Units Bishop's Walk Phase II: 26 Units The Julian: 90 Units 250 High: 156 Units LC at RiverSouth: 212 Units Atlas Building conversion: 98 Units 315 E.

High Street: Up to 4 Units Total: 1,175 Projects we know are coming before 2020 but don't have details on would be Arena District West, future phases of Neighborhood Launch and Homeport apartment buildings in the Discovery District. These 3 alone will likely add up to about 2,000 units.

December 18, 201410 yr New Downtown Report Details Continual Neighborhood Growth By Walker Evans, Columbus Underground November 21, 2014 - 2:02 pm A lot of time, effort, and energy has been invested in the revitalization of Downtown Columbus in the past decade. A lot of money has been invested too — $1.9 billion to be exact, according to the freshly released Downtown Columbus Economic Development Update Report for the Third Quarter of 2014, prepared by the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District. That financial breakdown includes $795 million in public investment (things like parks, bridges and government buildings) and $1.1 billion in private investment (things like apartments, retail and offices) since 2004. (. . .) The end result from all of this public and private investment is the continued growth of the residential population Downtown (which Capital Crossroads estimates is now 7,000). The past year alone has seen the addition of 562 new housing units added to the Downtown market, with another 491 units currently under construction and 494 more in the proposal phase. If that rate of residential growth continues, the Downtown population could eclipse 10,000 within the next two or three years.

December 24, 201410 yr A few posts ago, I posted a CU article that summarized a November 2014 report from the Capital Crossroads SID. Capital Crossroads' report broke down the $795 million in public investment (parks, bridges and government buildings) and $1.1 billion in private investment (apartments, retail and offices) since 2004 in Downtown Columbus. They also noted that the result of all of this public and private investment has been the continual growth of the downtown residential population to 7,000, from 4,000 in 2004. Now, the Wall Street Journal is taking the baton from this Capital Crossroads report and running a wonderfully detailed (and photo packed) article about this past decade of residential growth in the Columbus urban core (downtown + the surrounding neighborhoods).

Fourth Street that was formerly Graham Office Supply: http://www.columbusunderground.com/late-night-slice-opening-full-service-restaurant-and-bar-downtown --- From the CU article: "Late Night Slice has called Columbus Commons home for the past two summer seasons, and is ready for an upgrade in 2015. The popular local pizza shop will make the move from the pop-up shack in the park over to 268 S. Fourth Street, the former home of Graham Office Supply. ... Late Night Slice owner Mikey Sorboro described the new restaurant as one part Mikey’s and one part Oddfellows Liquor Bar (which Sorboro also operates in the Short North). He said that the 3,500 square foot restaurant would (be on the ground floor) and the second floor of the building will house a new 3,500 square foot event venue available for rent." Tavernesque - planned for the ground floor of the 5-story Stoddard building at 260 S. Fourth Street: http://www.columbusunderground.com/tavernesque-bar-and-restaurant-coming-to-south-fourth-street --- From the CU article: "While locals are likely familiar with the former (Mikey's Late Night Slice), the latter business is a new name for a new concept from Brian Swanson, who was in the news just last week when he became the new owner of Bodega in the Short North. And it sounds like Tavernesque might be bringing a slice of Bodega to this hip stretch of Downtown." The renovation of the Stoddart Block building was posted previously in this thread HERE, HERE and HERE. As was pointed out in the second of the posts, the S. Fourth Street block immediately to the north of the Stoddart Block has emerged as a downtown restaurant/entertainment destination with Dirty Frank's, Little Palace, El Camino's and 16-Bit Bar+Arcade. With the addition of Mikey's and Tavernesque, it looks like this S. Fourth Street hot-spot is extending another block to the south.

The hospital plans to build a six-story, 284,000-square-foot addition for patients at its E. Broad Street campus and a 439-space, two-story parking garage, according to plans filed with the city’s building and zoning services department. Hospital officials also have proposed a new materials-handling building and an expansion of a chiller building and boiler plant. ( . . . ) A spokesman for Mount Carmel Health System said in a statement that no final decisions have been made about possible improvements to Mount Carmel East. He said hospital officials are beginning “ due diligence” with public entities, including the city of Columbus. As part of that planning, Mount Carmel wants 80 acres of the campus rezoned as a “commercial planned development district." ... Mount Carmel declined to answer questions about the East project, including about cost, timeline and number of beds it would add to the campus. The hospital now has 419 beds. ( . . . ) The proposed expansion comes as the future remains in limbo for a sister hospital, Mount Carmel West, in the Franklinton neighborhood. Neighborhood leaders have said they expect the hospital’s inpatient services to move to Mount Carmel’s campus in Grove City, though hospital officials have remained mum.
