Hopefully it gets approved as is.

I think these units would sell/rent SO quickly considering the proximity to High Street but a quieter environment along the park.

Looks like this proposal is a joint Homestead and Lykens project. While I am excited to see the continues infill, have to admit this project isn't exactly a the most attractive IMO. Either way, yay for more density and hopefully the design will be tweaked a bit along the way. Overview of the Project - Two buildings, one 3 Stories and the other 4 Stories - Height of ~45' - 134 Units - 164 at grade and underground parking spaces "ooof" was my actual, out loud, response to seeing those renders. This design is pretty trash, I just really dislike monolithic big boxes with a bland repeating design. This looks just like the Giant Eagle proposal in GV, but worse. Big boxes can be done well when they don't look like big boxes, for example this building from Jeffery Park actually has some visual interest and isn't terrible.

October 30, 20204 yr https://www.columbusunderground.com/milos-catering-taking-over-juniper-dock-580-sp1 Sad to see the Juniper space turned into a wedding only venue. I heard rumors Cameron Mitchell purchased it but I guess that never happened. I hope they end up making it a open to the public on certain nights like Juniper was, would be silly not to.
November 2, 20204 yr Budd Dairy Food Hall Update Budd Dairy Food Hall in Italian Village still is coming as well. That project has been in the works since 2108 and was near its opening when Covid-19 hit. “It’s built. It’s ready to go. It’s permitted. It’s passed its health inspections,” Mitchell said. “It’s sitting there ready to go but that’s designed to have 500 people in it. Unfortunately, we just can’t open it.” Spring or summer 2021 is the new target. “We’re really excited about it,” he said. “It’s unbelievable space. It’s really dynamic.” Budd Dairy also is adding another chef-partner. Applications can be found here and are open through the end of the year. A Del Mar SoCal Kitchen previously announced for Naples, Florida, is moving forward as well. Its delay was unrelated to the pandemic and it is now scheduled for fall 2021. It’s a joint venture, which reduces the costs. The company also is working on a new Ocean Prime in Kansas City, though it will be operated under a management agreement, with the developer doing the build-out, which also reduces the capital outlay for the business.
December 5, 20204 yr So this just popped up on my Instagram feed while I was scrolling. It’s called Edison and the Instagram page is theedison777. Looks like it is going to be a performance and event venue. Seems like a good use for this building. Sorry for the low quality, I had to screen shot them.
December 10, 20204 yr Italian Village warehouse to be transformed into wedding venue Developer Kevin Lykens has pitched converting that brick building into a 5,250-square-foot space with a 900-square-foot seasonal patio and outdoor courtyard.

December 16, 20204 yr New Event Venue Opening in Italian Village Next Year Work is underway on a new event venue in Italian Village. A recently-vacant building just north of the Columbus Electrical Works at 777 N. Fourth St. will find new life as the Edison. It’s the latest addition to the BTTS Holdings portfolio, which also operates Brookshire in Lewis Center, WatersEdge in Hilliard, The Estate in New Albany and the newly-opened FIG Room in Short North. An industrial building constructed in the early 1900s, BTTS aims to maintain the building’s historic charm through exposed brick, high ceilings, and arched windows. The space will also feature a custom, built-in bar with a reclaimed wood bar front, as well as a new mezzanine at the front of the building. A grassy space to the north of the venue will be transformed into an outdoor courtyard.

Your first picture is mentioned in this article at the bottom: https://www.columbusunderground.com/boutique-hotel-proposed-for-italian-village-site-bw1 Also on the agenda for the meeting is a proposal for the parcel immediately to the north – the former Durable Slate building, located at 1040 N. Fourth St. That’s the building that the Lykens Companies has proposed replacing with a four-story apartment complex. The latest plan for the site calls for a 66-unit building with commercial space on the first floor. I'm not sure about the other building.

I know there was opposition but that building was falling into a state of disrepair. Additionally, the master plan that lykens proposed with budd dairy in the middle of it all is much more appealing than the durable slate building. As for the second building.. I wouldn't be surprised if it was being used as an "office" by the demolition/site prep team (or for the eventual builder of the apartments by Lykens). Just an assumption though.
January 9, 20214 yr Jeffrey Park Office, Parkside on Pearl Both Heading Back to Commission Also set to be heard by the commission at its January 12 meeting is a new design for the Parkside on Pearl project. The development, located at the corner of East Hubbard Avenue and North Pearl Street, was first brought before the board in 2013, when it was was met with some resistance from residents in the neighborhood. Revived in 2018, the latest plan for the project calls for a six-story building that would hold 37 apartments and one floor of office space. The new design, first seen by the commission in November, features a white exterior and corner balconies. A vote to approve will likely be held on the Parkside on Pearl proposal, while the new Jeffrey Park plan was submitted as a conceptual review, meaning it will need to return for final approval.

January 13, 20214 yr ^^I like it. It would be cool to have a unit facing the park. Nice view and the Moxy will block a lot of High St noise. Close to, but not on High.

January 13, 20214 yr Wonder what the record is for longest project right now? This might be the winner. Parkside on Pearl was originally introduced in March of 2013. Any other projects that are still on the drawing board since then or earlier? No criticism. Kudos to sticking it out and waiting for the right time. Given all that has gone up the approval made much more sense now than 8 years ago when it would have been the standout instead of blending in which scared more people.

January 26, 20214 yr They really, really need to make 4th and Summit more walkable. I get anxiety just looking at this picture with that puny sidewalk, not to mention the part with the utility pole.
February 3, 20214 yr Apartments Proposed for North Fourth Street Site A five-story apartment building has been proposed for 1020 N. Fourth St., a site currently occupied by the Hyer Hookah Lounge. The proposed building would hold a total of 62 apartments and a 1,200-square-foot commercial space on the ground floor. A parking garage with room for 96 cars would occupy a basement level as well as a portion of the first floor. The parcel sits north of East Third Avenue and south of the former Durable Slate building, which was recently demolished – a four-story, 66-unit apartment building is now under construction on that site.

March 11, 20214 yr Two Large Developments in Italian Village Moving Forward Two significant projects got key approvals this week from the Italian Village Commission – one in the Jeffrey Park development and the other in a new development called The Lusso. ... The Lusso development will eventually fill in about 8 acres of mostly undeveloped land on the Grave Vault site south of Fifth Avenue. The first phase of the project will include three new buildings between Detroit Avenue and Third Avenue – two on the west side of Grant Avenue and the other on the east. The three and four-story buildings will contain a total of 130 apartments, with parking in a basement garage and on surface lots providing space for 165 cars.
