November 7, 20204 yr Dublin has done such a spectacular job when it comes to urban planning recently. I cannot think of a suburb off hand anywhere that has done such a great job creating a new Downtown area. The formula Dublin used could and should be repeated in other cities in Ohio.

I wonder which other Central Ohio suburbs could potentially follow Dublin's lead. Gahanna kind of tried a decade before Dublin did, but this stopped well short of where Dublin is now. With that said, I think they have some potential to further urbanize. Newark has a really good - although small - urbanized core that they seem to be building off of quite well. I think the future there is very bright. Upper Arlington is making some strides with their developments along Lane. Other than those, I'm not sure who else has a good opportunity to do this.

Westerville has that 58 acre Otterbein plan that could be much denser and more like a Bridge park. And then there is that 40 acre area right in the middle of Worthington but it also will not live up to it's potential. Also Hilliard has some significant parcels and Grove City could have gone much denser with the Beulah Park development.

Living in Newark, i can't tell you enough about how impressed i have been with the Downtown Revitalization Plan. Newark is seeing a major reawakening!! I think in both terms of infrastructure and mentally (community pride). One thing i will argue is that the urbanized core is small. Newark's downtown core isn't small at all...its just underdeveloped or in 50% of the case, in need of further reinvestment/renewal. Go look at my Newark Thread and look at the upcoming development in Downtown Newark. Newark and Dublin are the 2nd and 3rd biggest Central Ohio communities and both are doing great things! Whats the story with the Dublin Fieldhouse? Is that getting built or what? Thanks!! Edited November 9, 20204 yr by OhioFinest

December 16, 20204 yr Hello everyone. Been reading this site for a few years but finally decided to make an account. I wanted to drop this in the Dublin Bridge Street District page. Looks like there is a proposal to demolish some buildings in Historic Dublin, across from the new Library, and build a new structure. The application is an Informal Review meaning that they are just looking for feedback from the commissions if they would support a project like this. The proposal is for a 2.5 story building fronting High Street with underground parking. The development would hold 68 residential units, ground floor retail, public plaza, public courtyard, and a 6,000 SF event center. The building would look over the Scioto River and be highly visible from the new pedestrian bridge. https://dublinohiousa.gov/dev/dev/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/C3_Drawings.pdf PS: Sorry, still trying to figure out how to upload pics too this site.

December 18, 20204 yr I can't think of any issues the commission would have with this. It seems like it'd be a a great addition.
January 27, 20214 yr Couple of recent articles about the City of Dublin’s Bridge Street District plan turning over 10 years old - it was adopted in 2010 - and the slightly less old centerpiece Bridge Park development being built by Crawford Hoying: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2021/01/26/crawford-hoying-is-committed-to-the-urban-ideal.html https://www.columbusunderground.com/crawford-hoying-reflects-on-bridge-park-as-the-development-plan-enters-second-decade-tm1 Crawford Hoying's 30-acre mixed-use Bridge Park development is about 66% completed and approaching $700 million in construction between the main east bank development and a previously completed west bank development. The Business First (bizjournals) article has a really good 16-image slideshow of some current Bridge Park construction. Below is a view of a pavilion being built on the east plaza of the riverside park being built on both sides of the Scioto - after the signature pedestrian bridge and west plaza opened last year:

April 25, 20214 yr 12 hours ago, jebleprls22 said: You don't need to go that far -- look at the new "downtown" New Albany -- townhomes for days! Nah. New Albany is townhomes for a day, *maybe* two compared to places like Urbana et all in Maryland where it's townhomes for years in comparison. Population of Urbana is over 12,000 in a little over 6 square miles. It's far more remote to a city than New Albany. Blue highlights the townhomes like the ones proposed here. Orange is the development similar to Pullman Way in Grandview Yard. Both are pretty similar in having significant growth in the last 20 years and accelerating. From 2011 to 2019 the population went from 8,400 to 12,500. It seems like ColDayMan might also be able to attest, nothing in Central Ohio will come close to the townhomes in terms of volume and density as suburban and even rural Maryland.

April 26, 20214 yr They're also getting a dog park at the NW corner of Dale Drive and Tuller Ridge Dr in that leftover triangular parcel. These residents have access to so much park space.
May 5, 20214 yr A month-old article from ThisWeekNews and its later clone on the Dispatch that serves as a good status report for the Bridge Park (plus the Bridge Park West) development: https://www.thisweeknews.com/story/news/local/dublin-villager/2021/03/25/latest-bridge-park-project-dublin-expected-finished-two-years/6931252002/ https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2021/04/06/latest-bridge-park-project-dublin-done-two-years/7091215002/ Build-out will continue at Dublin’s Bridge Park for about the next five years, and when finished, the 32-acre development will feature approximately $600 million in private investment. The developer, Crawford Hoying, said about 20 of the 32 acres are developed and about $420 million has been invested. The first phase of Bridge Park began in December 2016. The development includes Bridge Park on the east side of the Scioto River, and Bridge Park West, on the west side of the river, adjacent to Dublin’s historic district. Combined, Bridge Park and Bridge Park West consist of about 520,000 square feet of commercial space, 528 apartments, 106 condominiums, a 19,000-square-foot events center, North Market Bridge Park and two hotels. Construction is underway on the Bridge Park's next phase - known as Block G - 115,000 square feet of office space, 84 condominium units and 15,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. This phase should be finished in two years.
May 5, 20214 yr Great to see the progress they've made on this development. However, I can't help but wonder what's next after the remaining 12 acres are developed. Will we see spillover ancillary development or will Bridge Park exist only as a Crawford Hoying master planned urban island? Demand seems like it's been high, but the rest of the nearby land doesn't seem like it's likely to turnover to a denser use. Wendy's isn't going anywhere, the nursing home on the north end is relatively new, and I don't expect to see any changes to the residential along Tuller Drive. Maybe the Acura or Cadillac dealership could be redeveloped? I'm curious what others think?

The entire Bridge Street District, not just Crawford Hoying's Bridge Park, is zoned and under a master plan to be dense and walkable with a focus on mixed-uses. We will most likely not see a developer building such a large project in the future but infill and redevelopment will have to abide by the Bridge Street zoning code (buildings facing the street, parking in rear, higher densities, etc). I can see smaller urban-like infill in the areas between Bridge Park and Sawmill and maybe some dense development to the west of the historic downtown area. I heard through the grapevine years ago when i lived in Cbus that OCLC was looking to integrate it's campus into the area as opposed to being isolated so there might be some long-term redevelopment opportunities there as well, fingers crossed.
May 5, 20214 yr In other news, City Council approved Dublin's DORA and its includes Bridge Park. https://www.thisweeknews.com/story/news/2021/04/30/dublin-city-council-unanimously-approves-doras-historic-district-bridge-park/4889408001/

I just wanted to echo what was said here about the entire Bridge Street District vs. Crawford Hoying's Bridge Park development. I too doubt we'll see another development within the larger Bridge Street District as large as Bridge Park. Bridge Park got the best location on the east side of the river and didn't have much pre-existing in its way to interfere with it. Future Bridge Street District developments will be likely be more piece-by-piece based on who is willing sell off and at what price. Some existing spots might not be willing to sell "at any price". The Wendy's HQ is probably one of those - but building around the HQ is certainly doable without destroying the integrity of the district. OCLC might be another - but they have been supportive of city's plans and might find a way to develop its open spaces/parking lots to integrate with the Bridge Street District standards. As for almost anything else, if a developer makes them an offer they can't refuse (and I don't mean that in 'The Godfather' sense) then anything outside of the protected historic district is fair game.

If Wendy's was smart they'd pull a White Castle and redevelop their parcel with a new hq building and then expand the development blocks from Crawford Hoying's district.
May 5, 20214 yr Incidentally, I was looking into the older pages of this thread to find this post. The Bridge Street District news was originally included with all other Dublin development news in a catch-all 'Dublin: Development and News' thread. But as the Bridge Street District news started to dominate that thread - and since the news looked so promising - all the Bridge Street District news got pulled into its own development thread - and was explained below: On 4/6/2016 at 9:15 AM, Columbo said: The previous Dublin development thread has been divided into two threads. This one is now the 'Dublin: Bridge Street District projects and news thread', which encompasses any news about the Bridge Street District planning process and any projects occurring within the Bridge Street District area shown below: Originally, the thread was titled 'Dublin: Bridge Street District'. Recently the thread was retitled 'Dublin: Bridge Park' to reflect the dominant development occurring in the Bridge Street District, namely Crawford Hoying's. But any other development within Dublin's Bridge Street District plan area - like the historic district or the new library - is okay for this thread. Maybe at some point we'll rename it back to 'Bridge Street District'. While going back to find that post, it was interesting to see the older Bridge Street District posts before all this development started: FEB 2012 -- https://forum.urbanohio.com/topic/685-dublin-bridge-park-developments-and-news/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-519159 -- one of the early analysis of the plan from CU FEB 2013 -- https://forum.urbanohio.com/topic/685-dublin-bridge-park-developments-and-news/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-577947 -- a before aerial of Crawford Hoying's Bridge Park development site next to a realigned Riverside Drive AUG 2013 -- https://forum.urbanohio.com/topic/685-dublin-bridge-park-developments-and-news/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-587391 -- the first redevelopment proposal for the Bridge Street District - a 324-unit Edwards Communities apartment building and a new street grid for Dublin Village Center that never got started(!)

But those approvals didn't came without some frictions between Dublin's City Council and its Planning & Zoning Commission. In December 2014, four members of the Dublin Planning & Zoning Commission resigned in a power struggle with Dublin City Council over the review of projects in the Bridge Street District. City Council replaced those P&Z members and moved ahead with the approvals.

May 24, 20214 yr So with the DORA district officially started in Dublin, couple observations. Wow what a total sh*t show, who would have guessed middle aged adults acting like idiots. Signage and stickers everywhere that state, do not cross area with open container. I don't believe people can read in Dublin, or they are already messed up that reading and comprehension becomes difficult. Saw people on the bridge drinking and then tossing plastic cups into the river. Thats classy! Then you have situations where people are enjoying a nice meal or drinks at the bars in the restaurants in the area and people just push there way passed to get DORA drink menus so they can keep drinking outside. DORA districts can be beneficial but right now its amateur hour in Dublin. Lets see how bad it gets for the PGA tournament!

May 24, 20214 yr I think you'll see a component of this somewhat regularly unless Dublin has a way of cracking down. Remember that much of Bridge Park borrows from from success of places like Park Street, 4th Street, and Short North where you'd expect to see an unruly crowd out and about. Many of the same institutions are present in both. So you're targeting similar clientele that can be less if the 'sip and stroll' you might see in Powell or Worthington. It's also going to draw from 'middle aged adults who you would think know better' clientele typically found and contained to a strip mall bar. Grown adults and young adults. You'll also pull in people from the city who would normally go to 4th, SN etc but are drawn by the DORA that Columbus has yet to adopt. In some ways, I'm kind of glad Columbus has not fully adopted it in a place like the Short North yet. I'm not surprised it is already an issue and won't be surprised if it continues to be. And with it being on both sides of the river, it's no surprise people will be dismissive of not taking it on the bridge. Edited May 24, 20214 yr by DTCL11

June 2, 20214 yr Some new renderings of the townhouses proposed for the Bridge Street District (next to Tuller Flats). These show how the townhouses will interact with the streetscape.
