September 18, 201410 yr Project: The Market Location: Southeast corner of Summit Street and Third Avenue This is a really nice little renovation of a formerly sketchy carry-out place at Third and Summit in Italian Village. A new owner has taken over the place with the intent to create a neighborhoodd corner store that has a bar/bistro vibe. Columbus Underground had an excellent profile of the project at http://www.columbusunderground.com/the-market-proposed-as-new-italian-village-corner-shop.

September 29, 201410 yr ^ That was a pretty amazing transformation of a formerly cruddy corner store.
October 16, 201410 yr CU is reporting about an intriguing proposal for the southwest corner of E. Fifth Avenue and Summit Street. It's a bit conceptual at this point, but the person behind the proposal has previously developed the Jackson on High condos and the Burwell townhomes. The only existing structure at this corner site is a former gas station. The proposed redevelopment would be a five-story building built to the corner of Fifth & Summit containing retail storefronts on the ground floor, residential on the four floors above, and parking below grade and in part of the ground floor behind the retail. A second three-story townhouse building is also planned for the south side of this corner lot behind this proposed five-story building. No renderings of the project yet.

December 8, 201410 yr Foundation work has started on the 4-story Prescott apartment development. I think this really shows how hot the Short North has become. Who would have expected to see such a development on a lot that is facing what is essentially two alleys. Totally agree with this comment. Before this current Short North development boom, an interior lot fronting two alleys didn't hold much interest to anyone. Now, even these lots are attracting professional developers like Borror. Here's a rendering of this Prescott development from http://www.borrorproperties.com/blog/?p=600

December 18, 201410 yr Renderings Released for Six-Story Pearl Street Proposal Borror Properties last night presented their latest proposal for the southeast corner of Pearl and Prescott streets to the Italian Village Commission. Submitted renderings show a six-story, predominantly glass building filling nearly the entire footprint of the site. The basic specs of the project – 13 condominiums, ranging from 1,100 to 2,800 square feet, with 2 garage parking spots per unit – are similar to what Borror initially proposed for the site in September. The new building would replace a one-story cinder block building that dates to the early 1970′s.

March 16, 201510 yr Here's more about the Budd Dairy redevelopment project from CU: Transformative Redevelopment of Budd Dairy Site Proposed in Italian Village By Walker Evans, Columbus Underground March 14, 2015 - 2:32 pm The Budd Dairy Company building on North Fourth Street is one of the largest and most recognizable structures in Italian Village. A new proposal from Lykens Companies plans to not only restore and preserve the building, but also aims to complement it with five additional modern mixed-use buildings flanking it to the north, south and east. Combined, the three-story and four-story buildings would create 149 new residential units and 17,620 square feet of commercial space for office and retail use. Most of the new development would replace existing parking lots, though it would also require the demolition of several single-story warehouse and office structures built between 1939 and the 1960s.

March 16, 201510 yr When my brother was at OSU (only a few years ago) him and and his friends would always joke about the corner of "fourth and fourth" as where you didn't want to end up at 3 in the morning. Good to see redevelopment pushing up into the Weinland Park area.
March 18, 201510 yr The only disappointment about the Budd Dairy redevelopment is that it would've been a great place for some of the local-food processing and distribution efforts going on in the area. Could you imagine Jeni's ice cream or Snowville Creamery in that building. And businesses like those would not preclude residential development alongisde.

Black wasn't what I was thinking though. I'll have to take a look.

October 1, 20159 yr The empty church at 285 East 4th Avenue in Italian Village has been patiently waiting for chance to be renovated. And its owner, Italian Village developer Joe Armeni, announced last year that the church would anchor a redevelopment of this property. The proposed redevelopment would have 22 residential units - 8 units within the renovated church and 14 units within two new four-story buildings on the property: http://www.columbusunderground.com/proposal-calls-for-condos-in-historic-church-new-townhomes-bw1 Last Saturday, the church caught fire overnight.

October 1, 20159 yr Fortunately, it appears that the fire damage is not enough to warrant demolition of the church. The property owner, Joe Armeni, announced in the below linked CU article: “We’ll be paying for the repairs out of pocket, but nothing has changed with our plans moving forward. We love this building, and we’ve spent a ton money just to get to this point with planning and rezoning. After getting our final approvals in November, we’ll be well on our way.” - Italian Village Church Building to be Saved Following Fire: http://www.columbusunderground.com/italian-village-church-fire-columbus
December 2, 20159 yr Project: Parkside on Pearl Location: Pearl Street between Hubbard Avenue and Hull Alley Type of Construction: New Building Type: Multi-Unit Residential Status: Preliminary Approval The Parkside on Pearl is a 6-story, 44-unit apartment building proposed for a surface parking lot immediately west of Italian Village Park that was built in 2008. The site is also immediately south of the Hubbard project. It is being developed by Sandy Wood of the Wood Company, a longtime Short North developer whose most recent project was a three-story vertical addition above Northstar Cafe at Second & High. It is being designed by Jonathan Barnes, who also designed the Brunson Building addition and Hartman Building addition in downtown. The ground floor and a below-ground level was be used for internal parking decks. The upper five floors would contain the 44 apartments. The overall height of the Parkside on Pearl is about the same as the neighboring five-story Hubbard apartment building. The project is currently going through the approval process with the Italian Village Commission, but has received conditional approval of the height and massing of the building. The project has a facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ParksideOnPearl. Below are some renderings of the Parkside on Pearl project. The first is a view from High Street, looking thru the Haiku parking lot: The second is an overhead view showing where the project is located west of the Italian Village Park and south of the Hubbard project. There is also a box over the Haiku surface parking lot that is not part of the project: The third view is from Hubbard Avenue next to the Italian Village Park: The fourth view is from Italian Village Park of the proposed 6-story building: Update to the Parkside on Pearl project - originally posted at http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,2062.msg673303.html#msg673303 in the Short North thread. In a CU article about another Wood Companies project - http://www.columbusunderground.com/the-diplomat-short-north - Wood Companies President Mark Wood said that construction of the Parkside on Pearl was being pushed back to follow two other High Street projects they are working on to move forward first.

This one is east of High Street at the northeast corner of Pearl Street and Lincoln Street in Italian Village: Plans for Italian Village Parking Garage Moving Forward By Brent Warren, Columbus Underground December 7, 2015 4:14 pm The parking garage would feature an entrance on Pearl that would be accessible from High Street via Bollinger Alley. Thirteen residences along the Lincoln Street side would serve to screen that side of the garage from the neighborhood, while the rest of the garage would not be screened but is designed to blend in with the area’s older industrial-style buildings. “One of advantages to the site,” said Italian Village commissioner Jason Sudy, “is that the depth of it works pretty well for having a garage plus a deeper set of condo units that can screen it.” The new garage would replace a long-time surface parking lot. It would accommodate 244 cars, with around 125 spaces dedicated to the public, more than replacing the public parking lost by the construction of the High Street office building on the city-owned lot south of Buttles Avenue.
