Condos leading resurgence in northern half of Short North
Monday, September 22, 2008
BY MIKE PRAMIK
Judging by recent developments, the northern section of the Short North is gaining a new direction. A $22.5 million condominium project could emerge as one of the anchors. Construction began last week on Jackson on High, a 46-unit project that will include three buildings, one of which will rise eight stories.
Kroger plans to raze its 27-year-old store at High Street and 7th Avenue next year and replace it with a larger version with frontage on High Street. The project will include a small strip center near 7th Avenue and a small retail space on the 6th Avenue side. The new store could open by the end of 2009.
Developers Don DeVere and the Schottenstein Real Estate Group are building Smith and High, a 12-unit apartment complex and retail project at High Street and 5th Avenue. The building will include space for four retail tenants. DeVere said the project will be completed in November.
Realtor and developer Joe Armeni has refurbished the old Masonic Temple at 1276 High St. into the York on High, a 25-unit condominium building.
Developer David Strause plans to renovate the old Garden Theater into shops and apartments. The project could include an eight-story condominium building to the west of the theater building.

LOL Weinland Park gets no respect. The moment redevelopment starts spreading north of Fifth, they rebrand it to the “northern section of the Short North.”
Technically, I would say that small retail shops have been the first leaders on the resurgence of the northern half of the Short North, and the condos are just following close behind. ;)
I think THEY (meaning The Dispatch writers/editors) were probably just going with the name that people would recognize best. I’m not sure if most people will associate the East side of High between Fifth and 11th with “Weinland Park” yet. But I think the name will be embraced more over time.
There are a lot of people who technically live in either IV or VV who say that they live in the Short North. Really if you don’t have a High Street address, you probably don’t live in the Short North. ;)
The truth would be something closer to:
‘Condos follow northward expansion of Short North’
‘Condos follow northward expansion of Short North’
Or “Condos follow northward expansion of Short North north of northern border of Short North,” but that’s just a mouthful of Norths. :wink:
When I clicked on the link I was thinking to myself: “ya know… I bet people are discussing the choice of name for the area”
sure enough… LOL
I’m getting stodgy and predictable in my old age. :(
even bigger LOL
I am actually moving into the ‘northern Short North’ next month and really excited. Besides all the stuff in the article, we also have Barell 44 opening hopefully within a few months plus the Ohioanna market. Hopefully something will take the Open Book’s storefront.
Go NoShoNo!

I need to add “all SoHo ripoff neighborhood names” to the Pet Peeves thread.

Sha Na Na WAS the most popular band at Woodstock. Deep in your heart you know it’s true.
They had the shiniest apparel, I’ll grant you that.
I’m sorry, but your Peach District is in another castle.

If this is a ShaNaNa reference, it is lost on me.
