January 12, 200817 yr It's 2008, so I guess it's up to me to photograph everything. Luckily, I had my camera on me so here you go: And here's Stauf's from earlier last year. Looks like I'll have to wait until more people are out and about on Grandview Ave before I put up a complete thread for that particular hood.
January 13, 200817 yr Thank you Columbusite! Your efforts are appreciated. The completed building looks amazingly identical to the rendering. The only change seems to be using a red color trim instead of the dark gray color in the rendering. I think the red color looks great and is an improvement over the gray. The Metro looks like a decent urban building that takes advantage of an oddly shaped lot. Also, you gotta love that "Metropolitan" sign. Sweet looking font. Nice looking neon.

September 3, 200816 yr Wrecking ball headed to Grandview motel: Vacant eyesore's demolition will open way for redevelopment Monday, September 1, 2008 - 9:04 PM By Martin Rozenman THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Grandview Heights officials are looking forward to the upcoming demolition of the former Knights Inn at Dublin Road and Grandview Avenue. Mayor Ray DeGraw said the building probably will be razed this month, after asbestos is removed. Last week, workers prepared the building for destruction. Not only will razing the building eliminate a structure that several officials called an eyesore, but it will also make way for redevelopment. DeGraw said he was recently updating a group of central Ohio real-estate agents about Grandview's plans. While they were comparatively serene about the ambitious Grandview Yard project, they greeted news of the old motel's pending demolition with cheers.

September 4, 200816 yr That's a shame to hear. The Grandview Drexel added to all the activity on the Grandview Avenue strip. Not a huge shock though. Single screen movie theaters that are still operated as movie theaters are pretty rare.
September 4, 200816 yr wow. that is sad news. yes, not unexpected, but what a shame. did they serve alcohol & food in there? i can't remember. maybe making it like a studio 35 theater with beer and stuff could have helped?
September 4, 200816 yr Sounds like the biggest obstacle is the owner's unwillingness to sell the building. It's not really that small of a building and could accommodate two screens if rehabbed properly.

Group works on plans for Dublin Pike Wednesday, September 3, 2008 - 10:21 AM By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Staff Writer The Grandview Heights Planning Commission has begun a planning process to address land use and development issues in the Dublin Pike District, the area along Grandview Avenue and Dublin Road-U.S. 33. The commission likely will follow the same process to develop planning principles for the Dublin Pike District as it did for Grandview Avenue and the Grandview Commerce District, said Patrik Bowman, director of administration-economic development. The process could result in the creation of a zoning overlay for the district, he said. Two years ago, city council approved a set of strategies for achieving the goals and objectives for the district as stated in the city's revised community plan.

September 18, 200816 yr Years of headaches end as former hotel bites dust: Grandview leaders hope demolition of the former Knights Inn will make the land attractive to developers. By DONAVON CAMPBELL, COLUMBUS LOCAL NEWS Published: Monday, September 15, 2008 - 4:55 PM EDT City officials are rejoicing in the demise of a long-loathed eyesore in Grandview Heights. The walls of the 33,840-square-foot hotel shell, most recently Knights Inn, at the corner of Dublin Road and Grandview Avenue began tumbling down last week at the hands of Colvin Gravel Co. The hotel was built as a Travel Lodge in 1961 and underwent major renovations in the 1980s. Since then, the quality of the structure steadily declined until it finally closed in June 2005.

September 25, 200816 yr Grandview Station Commission tables development plan Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 6:46 PM By CHRIS BOURNEA ThisWeek Staff Writer A proposed mixed-use development at the corner of Grandview Avenue and Dublin Road has been tabled by the Grandview Heights Planning Commission to give developers time to adjust details. Developers unveiled a major site plan for Grandview Station, a proposed restaurant and retail development, at the commission's Sept. 17 meeting. Plans include demolition of a vacant Chinese restaurant to make way for the new development on a 1.1-acre site at 1080 Grandview Ave. The development would include a restaurant with a drive-through window. "Recognizing that this is a vehicle-oriented area, we think the drive-through is very appropriate," Bean said. Commission members said they like the design of the proposed Grandview Station building but are concerned that the position of the drive-through might create an unsightly line of cars on the Grandview Avenue side of the development. Commission members voted to table the Grandview Station site plan, giving developers time to adjust details and resubmit the plan at their October meeting.

It sounds like that's what Grandview Heights wants, hence their decision to table the project. Hopefully that's a good sign. I too would like to see a more pedestrian-friendly design implemented in this development.

November 18, 200816 yr Grandview site looking up Monday, November 17, 2008 - 5:22 AM By Mike Pramik, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH The northeast corner of Dublin Road and Grandview Avenue will sport a new look next year if the city approves a development proposal this week. Metropolitan Partners wants to build an 8,800-square-foot retail center on the site, which has been struggling for several years. The multi-tenant building would replace the former Jasmine Restaurant, which closed in early 2004 after operating for two decades. Metropolitan Partners would raze the building, probably this year, said company president Tim Rollins. The project will be considered by the city's planning and zoning committee Wednesday. The developer already has received a conditional-use permit for a drive-through, but Rollins said no tenants have been signed. The larger site includes a dormant landfill and a former Knights Inn that was torn down this year, but there aren't any definitive plans for that land, Bowman said.

December 24, 200816 yr Development projects, 2009 will be 'big year,' mayor says By DONAVON CAMPBELL, COLUMBUS LOCAL NEWS Published: Monday, December 15, 2008 - 4:52 PM EST Grandview Heights Mayor Ray DeGraw said the plan is to continue to move forward next year, as much as possible, with the many projects under way in the city in 2008. At his annual State of the City address Thursday, Dec. 11, in front of the Grandview-Marble Cliff Area Chamber of Commerce, DeGraw said that, despite the many woes facing the economy right now, his hopes are to see projects such as Grandview Yard, Grandview Station and renovations of some of the city's parks continue. The biggest of all the projects is Grandview Yard, the nearly 100-acre area in the city's former industrial district where the city hopes to work with Nationwide Realty Investors to create a vibrant mixed-use region that will make Grandview a self-sustaining city well into the future. The largest obstacle facing the city for 2009 is coming up with the estimated $20 million needed to expand the roadways beneath the railroad bridges on Goodale Boulevard and Third Avenue, said DeGraw. Both streets are expected to become thoroughfares in and out of the Yard as the project develops. But Grandview Yard is not the only redevelopment project under way in the city. DeGraw also spoke to the Grandview Station project that has been approved for the southeast corner of the intersection of Grandview Avenue and Dublin Road. The project, brought forward by parcel owners Metropolitan Partners, is expected to be a roughly 8,000-square-foot mixed commercial development anchored by a restaurant tenant. "I think when (people) see the design or see it under construction ... (they'll) be pleased," said DeGraw.

January 11, 200916 yr GRANDVIEW Draft version of city design guidelines completed Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - 12:00 PM By ALAN FROMAN, ThisWeek Staff Writer Grandview Heights City Council has been presented with a draft of architectural design guidelines for the city. The guidelines were written by Jeff Darbee and Nancy Recchie, co-founders of Benjamin D. Rickey & Co., a historic preservation consulting firm. The consultants developed the draft version of the guidelines over the past year, working with a steering committee of residents. The final document will ultimately be used by the city to help create an architectural review process, said John Kuss, director of building and zoning. "We want to have an architectural review process, but have it based on guidelines and have some standards on which to base the review," he said. The Board of Zoning Appeals currently has an aesthetic review procedure for projects, "but it's subjective because there are no guidelines," Kuss said. Putting guidelines in place "will help us make sure that when new projects are done, they are done in the proper manner architecturally," he said. Representatives of Benjamin D. Rickey were scheduled to give a presentation on the proposed guidelines at the Jan. 6 city council meeting. Council will forward the document to the Board of Zoning Appeals and Planning Commission for their review, Kuss said. Public meeting will be held to gather input from residents and property owners. Once a final design guideline document is approved by council, work will begin to create an architectural review board and process, he said. "It may well turn out that the BZA ends up serving as the architectural review board," Kuss said.

David Nedrow, a former manager of the Drexel North theatre and his wife, Jennifer Stancel, are renovating the 83-year-old theatre, which will operate under it original name -- the Grandview Theatre. Although single-screen theatres are a rarity these days, Nedrow and Stancel believe the reopened Grandview Theatre can be a success. "I don't really think this theatre got the attention it deserved before," Nedrow said. The building itself is in "pretty good shape," he said. "The damage that was there was just surface damage."

February 5, 200916 yr From http://columbusretrometro.typepad.com/ Grandview Station plan reconsidered The Grandview Heights Planning Commission Wednesday discussed but took no action on a proposal to reconsider one of the conditions set for a mixed use development planned for the corner of Grandview Avenue and Dublin Road. The commission Nov. 19 approved Metropolitan Partners' major site plan for the Grandview Station development, with several conditions, including that the plan include a sharper turning radius on the corner of Grandview and Dublin. At Wednesday's meeting, director of building and zoning John Kuss requested the commission reconsider that condition. Kuss suggested large semi-trucks could have difficulty turning onto Grandview Avenue from Dublin Road with a smaller radius and could endanger pedestrians if their vehicles went over the curb as they turned. The trucks could also weave into a portion of the left turn lane on Dublin Road while making the turn, he said. Commission chairman George Acock said he believes the turn radius should be 40 feet and questioned how many trucks would be making the turn in any event. Most trucks bypass Dublin Road and use I-670, he said. A 40-foot turn radius would "make it very, very tight" for trucks making the turn onto Grandview Avenue, Fire Marshal Steve Shaner said. Commission member Jamie Greene noted that the city's master plan for the Grandview Avenue/Dublin Road area indicates a desire for the intersection to be pedestrian-friendly. If the city is serious about that, he said, then a larger turn radius would be excessive. One of the main reasons for a sharper radius is to slow down vehicles making the turn onto Grandview Avenue, Greene said. While the desire to make the Grandview Avenue/Dublin Road area more pedestrian-friendly is nice, it is also probably unattainable, said P'Elizabeth Koelker, city council's representative to the planning commission.

February 19, 200916 yr Grandview theater's makeover more extreme than planned The owners of the former Drexel Grandview now say they'll spend at least $100,000 to transform the theater before its April opening By DONAVON CAMPBELL, Columbus Local News Published: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 10:58 AM EST What's happening inside the Grandview Theatre is not so much a renovation as it is a rebirth. Owner David Nedrow points up to a spot in the auditorium where the walls themselves have been pulled away to reveal an 80-year-old floral print that is being seen for the first time in decades. Nedrow and his wife, Jennifer Stancel, bought the theater, originally constructed in 1926, in November after former owners Jeff and Cathy Frank of the Drexel Group were forced to close its doors. Originally, Nedrow said they were planning on pouring more than $50,000 in renovations into the space. Now, three months into the project, Nedrow, still smiling, said the amount the couple will have spent once renovations are over will be "significantly more than that." They will likely invest more than $100,000 into the theater before it's all said and done. "All things being equal, we could have opened simply by repairing the concession stand," said Nedrow, "but the more we thought about the space, we wanted it to be much more flexible than it has been. "We really decided we wanted it to be a fresh experience even for people who had been coming" to the theater when it closed, he said. Nedrow said they are currently shooting for a mid-April opening.

April 26, 200916 yr I also posted this article in the Fire Destroys a Block of Grandview Avenue thread over in the City Discussion section. That thread chronicles the January 2009 fire to this news that the previous two-story building that burned might be replaced with a four-story building. The previous two-story building was retail on the ground floor and office/storage space above. The proposed four-story replacement building would be retail on the ground floor and apartments on the upper three stories, according to this article. This block is located within the Columbus part of Grandview Avenue, so it would go through the City of Columbus planning and approval process, which is why the Fifth by Northwest area commission member is quoted in the article. This would be a wonderful recovery from a horrible event. Let's hope it happens! Four-story building could rise from ashes Owners of Grandview Avenue edifice destroyed by fire have plans for apartments, return of retail By DONAVON CAMPBELL, COLUMBUS LOCAL NEWS Published: Monday, April 20, 2009 - 4:46 PM EDT After the Jan. 17 fire that gutted a two-story building packed with offices and retail stores in the 1300 block of Grandview Avenue, it may have been hard for passersby to see the charred remains as anything other than a disaster. However, while plans have not been finalized, Wagenbrenner officials say they intend to take the lemons they were given and make some lemonade when they rebuild the site and create something even bigger and better. Mike Wagenbrenner, co-owner of the company with his brother Tom, said the current plan is to construct a four-story building on the site with retail on the first floor. He said the intention is to fill the top three floors with 30 to 40 apartments with balconies. "We're going to eliminate all the office (space)," said Wagenbrenner, adding the company already owns a number of other office buildings. He said the building likely will be stone on the first floor with brick on the three stories above.

The two-story building was damaged beyond repair by a fire last winter and subsequently torn down. The site is on the east side of Grandview Avenue between Third and Fifth avenues. Wagenbrenner, the Columbus real-estate broker that owns the property, is planning to build a four-story complex that blends shops, restaurants and apartments. The first-floor plan shows a total 18,092 square feet in new and existing space, with four restaurants and a retail area. A total of 39 apartments, mostly one-bedroom units, are planned for the top three floors, project architect Rob Harris told the commission.

Columbus City Council on July 27 approved the company's request to rezone the property. Wagenbrenner will construct a four-story building containing retail and restaurants on the first floor and a total of 37 residential units on the top three floors. The retail portion of the development should be completed by July 2010 and the first apartments ready for occupancy by October 2010. Former tenants of the Kingswood Building are being given first opportunity to sign up for the new building, leasing agent Jeff Wagenbrenner said. About 11,000 square feet of retail space will be available on the first floor. "We'll probably have a mix of old tenants and new," he said. "The kind of retail we'll have will be similar to what we had before." A few tenants are close to signing for the new building, Jeff Wagenbrenner said. The target market for the apartments will be young singles or older adults, Mike Wagenbrenner said. Twenty-seven one-bedroom apartments, most around 1,000 square feet in size with one-and-a-half baths, are planned along with nine two-bedroom units, which will be about 1,500 to 1,600 square feet, he said. Although the residential units will have "a nice, condominium-type" design, they will be rented as apartments and not condominiums, Mike Wagenbrenner said.

September 3, 200915 yr Schreiner, Zettler replacing pair of stores lost in Grandview market in recent years Business First of Columbus - by Dan Eaton Wednesday, August 26, 2009 Bob Trout and Jim Ryan, the owners of two Schreiner Ace Hardware stores in Columbus, plan to open a third shop next year at 1125-1131 W. Fifth Avenue, the former home of Thompson & Ward Leasing Co. It will be the second new hardware store in the Grandview Heights area, following Goodale Pro Hardware’s opening in mid-July. Trout said the stores are filling a gap left by the departures of Grandview Ace Hardware on Northwest Boulevard and Trustworthy Hardware on Fifth Avenue, which closed last year to make room for a Walgreens drugstore. “The two previous stores covered a pretty large market,” Trout said. “We think we can capitalize on that.” Grandview Heights and Upper Arlington have a mix of rental properties and homeowners, Trout said, as well as higher income households than the neighborhoods around their other stores. Zettler Hardware Co. President Jeff Zettler cited the same reasons for his decision to open Goodale Pro Hardware on Goodale Boulevard. The store takes up a piece of the 2-J Supply Co.’s building near the Grandview Yard development. Read more at http://columbus.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2009/08/24/story5.html
