June 1, 20214 yr Research Building IV (5-27-21) 525 Kennedy Drive building demolition I believe this is the foundation for the new parking garage just east of the BHP and west of the Conference Facility and Data Center. This is just north of the recently demolished 525 Kennedy building. An eastward extension of Butterfly Gardens Drive towards Kennedy drive (as shown in the master plan), would pass through where the 525 Kennedy building once stood. This is the roads current terminus.

Kind of off topic but, part of me is worried that the new CDDC, with their focus on affordable housing downtown, will not focus on height as much as they should. Hopefully they can figure out how to get more affordable units in taller buildings. I do agree their should be more affordable living downtown, but it needs a mix of everything to function.

June 9, 20214 yr I think the affordable housing industry is trying to move away from towers (where possible) due to the higher maintenance costs and recent deadly incidents in subsidized towers overseas. Even if those incidents were caused by poor construction techniques and materials.

That's what happens when land is too cheap. This happens in Europe often where old slums got turned into something else then something else or in cities that got bombed during WWII.

October 1, 20213 yr Columbus Ronald McDonald House to regain status as world's largest with $28M addition “Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio plans to reclaim its status as the world's largest with a $28 million, 80-bed expansion. Construction could start as early as January and the addition is expected to open in summer 2023, said Ryan Wilkins, senior director for facilities and communications. Funding is all from philanthropy. The project will add two three-story buildings flanking a playground and courtyard: the 80-bed residential addition and another with an expanded commercial kitchen, dining area and meeting and event space. When finished the facility will have 203 beds. Children's owns the land on which Ronald McDonald House sits, and in January bought the parcels behind it for $2 million from the charity's real estate affiliate, because any construction addition must be on the same property. Engineering plans filed with the city call for demolishing five single family homes on the site, which Wilkins said had been used for long-term stays by families and as rental properties. A single home on the southeast corner remains privately owned and is not part of the plans.“ https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2021/10/01/ronald-mcdonald-house-columbus-80-bed-expansion.html?ana=TRUEANTHEMFB_CO&csrc=6398&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+New+Content+(Feed)&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1rQzHVFlEfukb2Vvh-CI7h3PCPiQFZYoKQad_NEenofZRiDf1blfACdXw

If so, a recent article quotes the developer as saying that one is still working its way through the approval process. I’ll try to find the link. ETA: Okay, looking back, I think there’s actually two different apartment complexes proposed on Livingston across from BHP?? The one I had in mind is the one from Schiff which should replace the dinner theatre site, and it’s mentioned at the bottom of this article: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2021/09/02/514-s-high.html “Schiff is also working on a mixed-use development with retail and apartments at 459 E. Livingston Ave. with Northstar Realty. That project is also going through area commissions and is "a ways off" from breaking ground, Schiff said.” The one you asked about looks like it’s from a different group and will be built next to the Schiff dev. I decided to take a look at the page for it, which was posted here earlier this summer, and they actually have announced a tenant for one of the retail spaces (Orange Theory), which wasn’t there earlier this summer. So if they actually have a committed tenant now, I would say that’s promising at least! https://goodmanrealestate.com/properties/german-village-redevelopment.html Edited October 5, 20213 yr by amped91
