It's kind of odd how quickly they took down the crane. The built the stairwells and then apparently didn't need it anymore.

Crane rental is pricey and as soon as they switched over to the wood construction portion, it's not really necessary anymore. They'll bring in temporary means of getting final air handling units and equipment onto the roof, but the rest of the building structure doesn't warrant keeping a crane around. It also gets it out of the way on site.

Elford Development's latest project welcoming residents as another kicks off

 

Elford Development's latest mixed-use project is welcoming tenants as another one kicks off nearby.

 

Construction on The Blakely in Columbus' Fifth by Northwest neighborhood started in September 2022 and recently wrapped up. The first resident moved into the apartments in May and the apartments are about 50% leased, according to Joe Gavin, vice president of development.

 

Elford partnered with White Castle to build this mixed-use project on the site of the fast food chain's former district office building.

I had no idea this development would be that tall. Looks really good. Hopefully those powerlines are eventually buried. 

Chambers Rd. could use sidewalks in this area. Parts are in Columbus but most are in Clinton Township. I doubt the township has the funds or the will to build sidewalks which is a shame considering how dense this area is becoming. Some of the newer developments have installed walks but there are huge gaps along existing structures.

They're supposed to be putting them in between Hess and Kenny, but it's pending funding. Working with Columbus west of Kenny is probably no small task.

I was in the car during a date the other day. Girl asks me the name of the neighborhood. I tell her. She agreed - it's insanely dumb ;) (Someone please rename this area)

I've said it here and everywhere for years: Just call it Grandview.

Looks like 1350 has topped out on the west side. Noodles is going to need to adjust their sign location, they’re now invisible to westbound traffic.

Or put it on the first floor of that new building, demolish the current Noodles, and build another 5-over-1.  Problem solved.

Planned Development Offers Early Look at Impact of New Zoning Code


Levs-5th-Avenue-1-1536x842.png
 

A four-story, 26-unit mixed-use building proposed for 1174 W. Fifth Ave. will add a little more density to an area that has been densifying for years. It also could be a sign of things to come, as developers big and small learn to take advantage of new zoning rules put in place last summer on Fifth Avenue and other corridors like it around the city.
 

The small corner lot is currently home to a one-story Lev’s Pawn Shop with a four-unit apartment building behind it. Both buildings would be demolished to make way for the new development, which will hold six artist studios on the first floor and take up most of the parcel, leaving no room for off-street parking.


This current plan for the site is different from an earlier version that was proposed before the new zoning code went into effect – that plan called for the same number of units, but with a 13-car parking garage on the ground floor instead of the artist studios. The Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) tabled a request for variances for the development at a meeting last April, citing concerns about the number of units.

 

In order to move forward with the new plan, the city will need to approve building permits, but the project won’t need to go before the Fifth by Northwest Area Commission or back to the BZA, since it conforms to the new zoning rules.

Yeah I found it. They renovated the Olentangy facing part in 2023, and demoed the back. Wonder if they'll build a new hotel there or sell to an apartment developer.
