May 28, 20214 yr On 5/27/2021 at 10:55 AM, Luvcbus said: I agree. Mayor Coleman understood that for The City of Columbus (or any big city for that matter) to reach its full potential, to be the very best it can be, it has to have a strong core, a thriving downtown. Mayor Ginther doesn't seem to get this. And, in my opinion, is making a huge mistake. It's not just that Ginther doesn't focus on the core, but I struggle to come up with something he's doing for really any part of the city. There's been some token push for more affordable housing, I guess?

July 2, 20213 yr This article from The Dispatch today has some good info on both the AD and Astor Park. I'll comment about some of the Astor Park info in that thread. https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2021/07/02/arena-district-office-and-residential-development-far-done/7795014002/ The Arena District's primary developer, Nationwide Realty Investors, owns several vacant lots it plans to develop in the district, starting with a thin lot next to the new Chipotle headquarters at the northeast corner of Vine Street and Neil Avenue. Nationwide Realty plans to start a 150-unit apartment building along the stretch after some major power lines are removed from the site, said Nationwide Realty President Brian Ellis. Nationwide Realty also owns a 1½-acre site at the northwest corner of West Spring and Hanover streets that Ellis expects to one day develop into a high-rise akin to the Condominiums at North Bank Park and Parks Edge condominiums down the street. "We hope to have a mix of offices and residential here," he said while touring the district recently. "It could be big." I know we've talked about that lot at the corner of Spring and Hanover being perfect for a high-rise, and it sounds like NRI agrees and is planning just that. Once the first phase of Astor Park gets off the ground, I would imagine that high-rise wouldn't be too far off. The article also talks about the constraints on developing the railroad triangle. Savko seems confident that it will be developed in some way, but we will see. I still contend that some type of a park would be a good option there.

That's where the high voltage overhead transmission lines currently terminate. That would open up that area for redevelopment....or an Amtrak station.

Another crossing, at least just a pedestrian crossing, connecting from Convention Center Dr across to the west side of Nationwide would really improve the walkability of this area and help further bridge the RR tracks. I'd be curious if the garage attached to the arena could be built on top of? I don't know how viable an Amtrak station would be right here because it's a sort of weird disconnected area, though it is actually at track-level and could allow for some flexibility in the long-run... It just isn't well situated as it is now.

Wouldn't that indicate that demand could actually accommodate a larger project there? I hear developers complaining all the time about NIMBYism and zoning codes holding them back from building larger and denser, but this is a perfect example where everything is basically in their favor and they still don't. Is this more that NRI just wants everything to look the same and at the same height in the AD?

That area could have supported a bunch of 7+ story tall apartment buildings, but seems they want it all exactly the same. How do you know the area could have supported that? And even if the area would have supported that, would NRI have been in a position to take on the increased debt needed for bumping everything up to the 7-10 story range? Would the company's risk portfolio have supported nearly doubling the number of residential units to be filled? How would the drastic increase in residential units have affected the rental rates they could charge, and would the rental income have been enough to offset the increase in construction and administrative costs? I want more height just as much as everyone here, but the common "just build taller buildings, they'll get filled up" argument is overly simplistic. Sure, all of NRI's residential units may be full in the AD, but that could be because they've appropriately met the market's demand. They may have been able to fill up more units if they had built more, but that may have oversaturated the market and pulled down rental rates, thereby decreasing their margin. We have no idea what type of analysis they've done, or the results of that analysis, but I guarantee it's much more in depth than all of us sitting around here and saying "well if you filled all of those up you should build more but this time make it taller because that's more exciting".

I guess I shouldn’t have said I know the area could support more, I should have said I believe it could have. The entire city needs 50,000 housing units, so there is a need for way more. It isn’t so much I want height everywhere, it’s that I want housing needs met. I get that these are not affordable housing units, but we need way more and developers are doing minimums. If the city can’t get enough units over the next decade, it will end up having an impact on population. I’m not an expert at all, and I don’t even know if this would help the problems, I just want to see housing demands met, and building smaller buildings isn’t going to help.

There is really no reason to believe that AD units somehow wouldn't fill or that developers would lose money if they went larger. The central core added more than 22,000 people in 10 years, and it likely could've added many more than that had most of the development projects in that period actually gone with a better number of units. Instead, we saw too many underutilize their properties, particularly Downtown. The AD is nice, but most of it arguably hasn't met the potential of its location. As you say, it's not about height, it's about density. The greater the density, the more retail that can be supported, the more restaurants, the more amenities, etc. Not to mention increased viability of transit alternatives. Once these sites are developed, they're out of play for at least a generation. Edited August 31, 20213 yr by jonoh81

February 16, 20223 yr The owner of the building that Dahlia Nightclub is in and the owner of the building BBR are in are filing a demolition permit to tear both of those properties down when the leases expire at the end of March. The reasoning is for more parking for The North Market and then eventually for redevelopment to better fit the area and the new growth coming. I usually don't want buildings torn down for parking, but in this case, I don't care. Those buildings are nothing great and the nightclub scene doesn't work in that are anymore.

February 16, 20223 yr I'm not sure what will be possible with the Dahlia site unless the substation behind it is moved, but the BBR site is definitely going to be an attractive lot. I can't imagine it would remain parking for long. Speaking of parking in the AD, the small Arena Crossing surface lot at Vine and Front needs to go. I actually thing a small pocket park would be great. Maybe a small water feature in the center surrounded by tables and shade trees. It would be a great spot for North Market visitors to relax and enjoy the food they bought in the market.
February 16, 20223 yr Dahlia always has a nice variety of acts coming through for very affordable prices. Other than that the place kinda sucks though. It's so cramped, you have to shove through the entire crowd to get to the bathroom and more and more of the floor space kept getting reclaimed for VIP seating.
