March 30, 20223 yr An Indigo makes perfect sense here, their new build ones are decent probably on the higher end of the Hampton(my preferred, I’m about a 150/night per year person) spectrum. I’ve stayed in a couple of them over the years and they’ve been fine. Just looking at their(Indigos) portfolio they have several that are labeled with the near by university. There are too many Holiday Inn’s close and Hampton wouldn’t move that close either. I also am not sure the city would allow a “budget” brand in this area.

March 30, 20223 yr 14 hours ago, DTCL11 said: Perhaps. IPD doesn't have any Indigos in their portfolio so it would be their first. I stay in hotels as much as 200+ nights a year including a few Indigos and they're great. Although all the Indigos I have stayed in were entirely converted suburban hotels. I haven't stayed in any new build Indigos. Again, I'm not knocking brand per se. I stay in quite a few Hamptons, good, bad, and ugly, and there are amazing Holiday Inns out there too. For me, it really comes down the portfolio of IPD. And it doesn't look great. Their portfolio appears to be entirely suburban. I hope this is their attempt to do something different but my hopes are not high. At best I think we end up with a hotel that may front High Street but still has too much surface parking, too many curb cuts, and we will be lucky if it has any public amenities such as a restaurant, bar, coffee shop etc. I think the location and community deserve more than a single use, car focused development and maybe, just maybe, IPD wants to use this location as their segway into more urban designs and properties. Like I said, I'll pray to any entity out there for a good development, especially if it helps bring more, but I don't love the initial signs. They paid a pretty penny for that lot so here's hoping that it will force them to invest more into a better development for a better ROI. Borror more than tripled their investment by doing nothing for 5 years lol. Edit: I wonder if anyone detailed the University Review Board and Clintonville Commission split to them... If not, they could be in for more than they expected lol Eight Stories south of the creek with 2 or 3 levels of parking deck north of it sounds good to me.

March 30, 20223 yr I won't be happy unless we can see it from North Broadway so we can REALLY make an impact, let's go for 12 stories! But I do wonder what it would take to accomplish that. 🤔
March 31, 20223 yr Wasn't entirely sure where this goes either. Not quite Old North. Not Quite South Linden. Not quite fairgrounds or Crew. So close enough I suppose. Moo Moo is joining the ever expanding suburban campus north of the Crew Stadium... further dashing any hopes such prime real estate can be salvaged for something better.

March 31, 20223 yr Meh, it's next to a Lowe's (and not even a nice one), a National Tire and Battery, an abandoned Big Boy, nondescript window less buildings, sandwiched between railroad tracks and a really kind of odd/confusing highway on ramp. In that context a car wash seems like a win.

Hopefully MooMoo provides plenty of stacking. Since I live nearby, I'll probably get my car washed there. Historically speaking, big box retail is appropriate if you consider the 60s and 70s a historic era. 😅 This large building was an Ontario department store and grocery in the 60s and 70s. Kind of a regional Walmart. I remember shopping there with my mom. One day in the mid 70's, we watched the deli clerk somehow lop off his finger. My mom abandoned our shopping cart and we walked out of the store. We never went back. Eventually, a lot of Ontario stores became Rinks Department Stores.
March 31, 20223 yr From an overall land use perspective, it is what it is. I get it. What else can we expect without someone kicking but and taking names. But choosing that location sucks. Unless the city is planning on doing a full redo of that intersection. Getting in and out for Lowes or Aldi is a train wreck as is. If you arent almost getting t-boned, are you even doing it right? (If its super busy, ill go out of my way through the Ohio History Center to avoid it) Adding some sort of ingress and egress there will make it even worse. If they had taken the Big Boy spot it would have been better but this plot is legitimately the worst possible choice in the NOCS. Which again, does Moo Moo choose locations based on how much more of a nightmare scenario it can make the local traffic? Edit. And FTR, I'm sticking with NOCS to describe this no man's land.

June 10, 20223 yr On 5/23/2022 at 7:54 PM, ColDayMan said: University District: New Proposals Submitted for Two Sites on High Street New proposals for two prominent sites on High Street will be presented to the University Impact District Review Board this week. At the corner of High and North Street, a new owner of the long-vacant site that once held Patrick J’s bar and a White Castle restaurant wants to build a six-story building on the property. A previous plan for the site, from Borror Properties, called for a three-story, 56-unit apartment building with first floor retail. That plan was approved in 2018 but never built, and the site was later put up for sale. A company called Stark Capital Ventures LLC, which is connected to the Columbus-based hotel and retail specialist Sintel Properties, bought the parcel in March for $1.95 million, according to Franklin County Auditor records. The new plan calls for an 80-unit building featuring five floors of apartments over first-floor commercial and amenity space. A parking lot with room for about 70 cars would sit behind the building and to its north, in the Clintonville portion of the site (the southern portion sits in Old North Columbus). More below: https://columbusunderground.com/university-district-new-proposals-submitted-for-two-sites-on-high-street-bw1/ A few more details on the Patrick J’s dev, from CBF: Former Patrick J's site could house mixed-use development including extended-stay hotel “Sintel Properties wants to build a 100,000-square-foot, six-story building on the border of the University District and Clintonville at 2711 N. High St., a site previously home to Patrick J's Bar and a White Castle. Manav Singh of Sintel said the project would include retail and residential space along with a boutique extended-stay hotel. Sintel Properties' proposal, which has preliminary approval from the University Impact District Review Board, includes 7,000 square feet of retail space, 80 apartments and a boutique hotel. Singh said the developer hopes to get three or four retailers, including a high-end eatery, upscale limited edition clothing store and a coffee shop.” The plan is to break ground next fall, if the project is approved. https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2022/06/10/patrick-js-university-district-clintonville-plans.html

June 10, 20223 yr A couple of thoughts on what fills the space. - Wouldn't it be neat if the tie-dye guy took the clothing retail spot 😅 - With the booming businesses that are Sahara Cafe and MozMoz, I wonder if the food and high end clothing retail would be attractive or actively recruited to Arabic/Mediterranean/African proprietors. I would definitely not argue with a nice restaurant along those lines. - This corner could become a little pocket cultural hub And yes, I mean Booming. Once MozMoz transitioned to a hookah establishment, the already busy corner from Sahara's business is packed with cars and patrons many nights of the week.

August 30, 20222 yr Sintel Properties moves forward with mixed-use development on North High, near OSU, Clintonville The mixed-use project slated for the former home of Patrick J's Bar and a White Castle is moving forward. Sintel Properties wants to build a 100,000-square-foot, six-story building on the border of the University District and Clintonville at 2711 N. High St. Manav Singh of Sintel Properties said the project would include retail and residential space along with a boutique extended-stay hotel. Singh showed conceptual plans for the project to the University Impact District Review Board last week. He plans to return to the commission at the next meeting in September for design approval. Singh said the development will have a deep red or scarlet brick and grey industrial-looking siding, a nod to nearby Ohio State University. "When you're driving down High Street, we want to create something that makes people think 'Wow, this is where Ohio State starts,'" he said.

For me, it's about High and Arcadia doesn't need to be some entrance to campus or identifiable as such. Whatever the implications of parking and clientele and living among students and my neighbors here in Old North, I don't need it to scream OSU. I'd rather Old North just keep its own identity than developer feel a need to tie it completely to OSU. It's fluff language to sell the hotel to visitors more than anything knowing they are in a weird spot so overcompensating to try to sell a luxury hotel in that location to OSU visitors etc

I have to disagree. Believe it or not, there's a huge amount of students that live in that area and commute down to campus everyday. Plus, the bars along High in that part of Old North are pretty popular with OSU students. It's definitely kind of a gateway to the campus area. I do wonder who the apartments in this development will cater to most though. It seems way too far north for students to justify spending "luxury" apartment costs at.
August 31, 20222 yr I live here. I'm very aware of the demographics of my neighbors over the last 8 years and my drinking companions and locations lol. That doesn't mean that ubiquitous 'this is campus' scarlet and gray everything should start here. The people who frequent Old North and it's establishments are generally different from your standard campus bar and nightlife anyway. Almost counterculture. My hope has always been that Old North would be able to maintain its own feel and identity with growth. Yes, it's the University District. No, it's not where Ohio State starts. But I suppose that's a hard opinion to take when it comes to state collegiate identities. I think the same thing about alot of things that are tied to collegiate athletics
August 31, 20222 yr I personally used to go to Miani's(Ace of Cups) and Ledo’s back in the day. It was before you moved to that area by a few years. But you’re right, not as popular with students as it used to be and nobody is saying that it’s campus. But that’s not to say many don’t consider Arcadia, Doddridge or Hudson and south to be “campus.”

That doesn't mean that ubiquitous 'this is campus' scarlet and gray everything should start here. The people who frequent Old North and it's establishments are generally different from your standard campus bar and nightlife anyway. Almost counterculture. My hope has always been that Old North would be able to maintain its own feel and identity with growth. Yes, it's the University District. No, it's not where Ohio State starts. But I suppose that's a hard opinion to take when it comes to state collegiate identities. I think the same thing about alot of things that are tied to collegiate athletics Could not agree more. I live not too far north of this intersection and it is absolutely not where OSU starts. It is where you start to see the influence from OSU, but Old North has its' own thing going on.
