April 14, 20169 yr Charles Penzone building new Grand Salon in Dublin By Dan Eaton, Staff Reporter - Columbus Business First Updated: March 30, 2016, 3:37pm EDT Charles Penzone is giving itself a new look. The salon company is hitting its 47th year in business April 1 with one of its most-significant projects to date – a 12,000-square-foot, redesigned Grand Salon in Dublin. “We’re working on a long-term strategy,” Chief Operating Officer Matt Dunlap told me. ... Key to the future will be its new salon next to its existing Charles Penzone Grand Salon at 6671 Village Parkway. That facility, which opened in 1991, will be replaced by the new one. The 18,000-square-foot old salon building will be put to use by the company, possibly as a training academy. ( . . . ) The project is in the early stages of review by the city of Dublin so Dunlap said there isn’t a set timeline yet. It will be designed in compliance with the city’s Bridge Street District requirements. The design is by Columbus-based Chute Gerdeman and the architecture is being handled by Christopher Meyers and his Meyers & Associates Architecture LLC.

April 18, 20169 yr Interview: Bridge Park Developers Talk Demand, Sales, and the Importance of an Urban Grocery Store By Brent Warren, Columbus Underground February 8, 2016 - 10:45 am With four five-story buildings currently under construction, four more scheduled to go vertical in March, and an eight-story hotel (along with an events center, offices and a parking garage) on track to break ground by May, this is poised to be the year that Crawford Hoying’s ambitious Bridge Park development makes the transition from plan to reality. The first residents, restaurants and office tenants could be moving in before the end of the year. The first phase (marked Block C on the overall site plan) will hold 153 apartments, over 81,000 square feet of office space, almost 50,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and an 869-space parking structure. The second phase (Block B) will add even more apartments, a similar amount of commercial, and another parking structure. And all of that doesn’t even include what’s happening west of the river — dubbed Bridge Park West – where construction started last year on 42 condos and over 30,000 square feet of office and retail at the northern edge of Dublin’s Historic District. A pedestrian bridge linking the two sides of the river and a new city park along the east bank are both still in the design phase. Columbus Underground recently sat down with some of the Crawford Hoying leadership team to get the latest on the project. What follows are excerpts from that conversation, including some interesting revelations about the strength of the restaurant market, the demographics of those showing an interest in living in the development, and the details behind what could be a first for the region; a new grocery store with multiple floors of apartments above.

On Hilton Head Island it can be a disaster, though far better than the signaled intersections to be honest. When they installed the Alkire-Demorest it made a huge difference in traffic backup - there are never more than 4-5 cars waiting to get into the roundabout. Massively better. I have to imagine as roundabouts become more commonplace - and they should - things will smooth out.

Yoder said the townhomes in six buildings each have an attached garage. Units start in the $300,000 range, with sizes from 1,400 to 2,600 square feet. Floor plans include two to three bedrooms.

November 29, 20168 yr HISTORIC DUBLIN ZONING Staffers: Code amendments seem simpler than overlay district BY SARAH SOLE, THIS WEEK NEWS Wednesday, August 31, 2016 - 9:57 AM Dublin staff members, so far, appear to be favoring amending existing zoning regulations over creating an overlay district as the simplest way to preserve the integrity of Historic Dublin. Staff recommended exploring an amendment to the Bridge Street District zoning, of which Historic Dublin is a part, "in response to the community's issues and concerns," according to an Aug. 18 memo from City Manager Dana McDaniel to Dublin City Council. The recommendation is a response to feedback from residents proposing City Council create an overlay district in Historic Dublin to define what should be preserved. Given the complexity of the Bridge Street District code, amending existing zoning makes more sense than adding an additional layer of code, said Vince Papsidero, Dublin's director of planning. "We don't want to make a complex system even more complex," Papsidero said.

Peter Coratola is returning to the city with plans for a three-story, 12,600-square-foot building at the southeast corner of High Street and Eberly Hill Lane. The original Eberly Hill project called for a 20,000-square-foot structure. “We’ve worked with the input from the (architectural review board) and the (administrative review team) and the neighborhood group to come up with a plan we think will fit in with Historic Dublin and maintain the character of the area,” Coratola told Columbus Business First. The administrative review team is assessing the project and making recommendations because the Eberly Hill site is within the Bridge Street Corridor District. The properties also are in Historic Dublin, making the proposal subject to an examination by the architectural review board. ... The Eberly Hill site is less than a quarter-mile from where Crawford Hoying Development Partners LLC is building its large Bridge Park mixed-use development that will span both sides of the Scioto River.

Over the past year, the 254,388 square foot building underwent its first major renovation.

More below: http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2017/01/27/renderings-new-dublin-library-designs-go-before.html Honestly, the NUMBYism in this Metro is getting ridiculous. Lets look at the reality of this... most of the structures in the Dublin "Historic District" are not really historic at all, they're all new builds in a traditional style. If this were German Village I'd get it, but its not in any relative way. In addition they are literally building condos across the street from the library that are an extension of the Bridge Park development in style and scale anyway. It will never cease to amaze me how all these people who live and work in a major city constantly bit*h about developments that don't have the scale and appearance of a small town development. Some of the most interesting districts in the world have architectural diversity. Come on people.
