What bugs me about SF housing the last 40 years is how most thoroughfares become back alleys with backyards facing the street. In this case the houses on both sides back onto Cosgray. I think this adds to the feeling of sprawl. Think how nice North Broadway in Clintonville or E. Broad in Bexley feel - they are nice places to walk.

New plans submitted for mixed-use development at Dublin's Metro Center office park

 

Plans for a mixed-use development at Dublin's Metro Center office park have been altered and resubmitted based on feedback from the city, which has been seeking new projects to help revitalize the area.

 

The project's developers, which include McCabe Cos. and Keystone Hotel Group, are requesting review and approval of a concept plan for a five-story building at 5055 Upper Metro Place.

 

The 2.5-acre site is located at the southwest corner of Upper Metro Place and Frantz Road in the city's Bridge Street District. It is also adjacent to Keystone's TownePlace Suites hotel.

The Powell-based company bought 13 parcels on the north side of Bright Road for a development it is calling The Beacon. The roughly $100 million project will be developed in four phases and will have around 375 units in three interconnected buildings between Sawmill Road and Emerald Parkway, as well as a standalone facility near the main entry off Bright Road.
 

The first phase will primarily feature independent living with some assisted living and 24-hour nursing services, and the second phase will be a smaller facility offering memory care. The third phase will include assisted living and memory care, and the fourth phase will offer independent living.
 

To ensure residents can be active year round, a number of amenities will be included in the development. Indoor amenities will include a pool, greenhouse, dining facilities, business center, auditorium, movie theater, spa and salon, aerobic facilities and virtual golf. Outdoor amenities will include pickleball and bocce ball courts, putting greens, walking paths, lakes and gardens, courtyards and outdoor dining.

Epcon Communities' proposed housing project draws response from Dublin City Schools

 

A new housing project proposed by Epcon Communities has raised concern at Dublin City Schools, which posted a notice to district residents regarding the potential impact of "high-density residential development."

 

The local homebuilder filed a rezoning application with Concord Township, which borders the city of Dublin, for a new community called Courtyards on Concord.

 

Epcon wants to rezone the 36-acre site, located at 10204 Concord Road, from farm residential to a planned residential district. It is also requesting approval of a preliminary development plan.

City of Dublin sued by Village Center owner for denying redevelopment project

 

Stavroff Land & Development has filed a lawsuit against Dublin, arguing its private property rights were violated when the city denied its plans for a residential project.

 

Stavroff owns Dublin Village Center, a shopping mall off Sawmill Road in the city's Bridge Street District. The firm bought the center in 2009 and has been attempting to redevelop the site for more than a decade.

 

Stavroff alleges that instead of considering its application under the Bridge Street code, the commission applied interim land use principles that were adopted by Dublin City Council about a month before it was set to consider Stavroff's project. The lawsuit states that those principles were not in effect when the developer filed its application.

 

based its application off the Bridge Street code and "similarly situated residential plans" the city recently approved, according to the lawsuit. The firm alleges the land use principles were "retroactively misapplied" to the project. It also argues that certain language within the principles, including the "utterly vague 'Distinctly Dublin' standard," were used to deny the application.

Good. The thing looked very similar to Bridge Park. Had good density. Used good materials. Didn't have surface lots. That meeting was a circus.

Dublin to ‘revitalize’ Metro Place

 

"The city took the latest step in its “Metro Center Revitalization” project last week.

 

More than 140 residents attended a meeting on the future of the Metro Center on Jan. 30.

 

Metro Center is 210 acres bounded by the Interstate 270 and U.S. Route 33 interchange, Frantz Road and Blazer Parkway. It is north of the new Bridge Park and Historic Dublin. It includes a sliver of Washington Township.

 

One of the documents being used to guide the planning is a 70-page “Dublin Corporate Area Plan,” approved by Dublin City Council in 2018 and amended in 2022. In addition to the Metro Center, the 960-acre area extends to Tuttle Crossing Boulevard and Emerald Parkway.

 

The city’s expectation is that upon following public input sessions “this plan will allow Metro Center to become a place to get to, rather than merely pass through, and a destination for top-notch talent and a wide range of Dubliners to live, work, play and create."

 

This project is expected to be completed in August 2024 with important milestones throughout the process."

This map shows the planning area for the entire Dublin Corporate Area, which includes the Metro Center.

 

https://www.delgazette.com/2024/02/08/dublin-to-revitalize-metro-place/

 

The best part of Metro Center are these awful late 70s, early 80's office buildings that have tilted facades. They accentuate views of the vast parking lot as you approach the building and, at certain times of the year, the angle focuses sunlight onto the lawn scorching the grass.

VanTrust proposes new mixed-use development for long-vacant lot on Dublin's west side

 

VanTrust Real Estate wants to build a mixed-used development on a long-vacant lot on the west side of Dublin.

 

The developer submitted a concept plan for a project on Parkwood Place, which connects with Emerald Parkway to the north and Woerner Temple Road to the south. The addresses listed in city documents include 5615, 5665 and 5715 Parkwood Place.

 

Plans for the 16-acre site include a 25,000-square-foot commercial area, 280 apartment units and "abundant green space," according to a letter submitted to the city by VanTrust Executive Vice President Andy Weeks.

Calling this a mixed used project is hilarious. There is nothing mixed about this, what a joke and I really wish that word would be used properly. This is just a suburban apartment building next to a strip mall surrounded by parking.

Well technically speaking, being able to both live here and park here is two separate uses. Mixed use!

Metro Center Metamorphosis: Dublin’s Answer to Changing Market Trends
 

The city’s Metro Center is a commercial and office complex dating back to the early 1980s. It spans 130 acres southeast of the I-270 and US-33 interchange and will see some major changes in the near future as it evolves with the shifting market landscape. 

 

“When we started to talk to folks, employees, and workers, they said that parking is good, but we want trails, we want places to eat, we want things to do,” said Christopher Will, a senior planner with the city. “So it pivoted and has taken us to the path where we’re at today.”
 

Questions touched on a variety of topics, including visual preferences, open space, water management, development styles, parks, trails and more.
 

No timelines for construction exist yet. Right now, it’s all about molding the right plan.

‘DISTINCTLY DUBLIN’

 

Dublin is among Central Ohio’s largest, most prominent suburbs, one that for years has proved a mecca for development.

For all those years, it’s also had a reputation as a city where getting projects off the ground can be costly, hindered by stringent design standards.

 

In some cases, projects have been rejected again and again despite developers spending time and money trying to conform to the city’s codes, principles and – seemingly hardest of all – its vision.

 

Dublin officials stand by their procedures and standards and point to the many projects that have been successfully developed over the years, including the wildly popular Bridge Park mixed-use neighborhood.

 

Developers who have had success in Dublin say although the city has high standards, officials are willing to work with them to ensure a project fulfills expectations on both sides.

 

But those who have unsuccessfully tangled with Dublin say the city maintains an elitist culture and utilizes arbitrary language to deny projects it doesn’t like, even those that meet its codes.

Dublin is the old Powell.


Although they have done a solid job recently with development, most leaves a lot to be desired.

They were forced to - looks like there's a stream protection corridor along the north side of the housing. If MI had there way they would have plowed over the entire site. The woodlot to the north, per the article, is to become a commercial development. Those trees will be cut down too.

"The city of Dublin is in negotiations to acquire 243 acres for economic development purposes, transportation enhancements and recreational expansions in its West Innovation District.

 

The acquisition, valued at $44.6 million, includes multiple parcels in Franklin and Madison counties and encompasses SportsOhio (97.5 acres), Shepherd Excavating (7.9 acres) and Carter Farms (137.1 acres). Those sites are located off Cosgray and Houchard roads on the city's far west side.

 

With the acquisition, Dublin plans to complete the final section of University Boulevard, which runs through the eastern portion of the SportsOhio site. The city says construction of the final section of that road would enhance north-south connectivity, extend public utilities such as water and sanitary sewer services and support economic development potential in the West Innovation District.

 

When combined with land the city previously acquired across the railroad tracks to the east, the Carter Farms parcels provide a location for the development of a future passenger rail station, which is being contemplated as part of the West Dublin Passenger Rail Station Study. This study aims to ensure that a rail station in Dublin is included in regional planning for the proposed Amtrak expansion, according to the city."

This is awesome, I have been hoping something like this would come to Columbus. It’s perfectly positioned between Cleveland and Cinci, and even south east Ohio. Keep the main studios centralized and use those cities for the density. Once Columbus builds in, they can even film downtown. 
 

This part makes it seem like Dublin is the main city and Columbus is just a suburb haha, 

 

“To strengthen its position in the region, Fallback has additionally struck a partnership with Film Columbus, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Columbus, just outside of Dublin, as a filmmaking destination.”
