    Construction Roundup: September 2014

    Every month we publish a photo series that documents the construction progress at various development sites throughout urban Columbus, showcasing the rapid evolution of our city through new apartments, new retail spaces, new offices, revamped streets, highways, greenspaces and cultural institutions. It’s always a challenge to capture everything, and this month we’ve slowed down a bit to provide more viewing angles on fewer development projects to showcase how these new places fit their neighborhoods and streets in different contexts that aren’t normally shown.

    Next month we’ll revisit some of the other construction sites to see how they’ve been updated over a two month gap. And as always, if you have your own photos to share, feel free to post them on our messageboard.

    This month’s roundup features photos and updates on some of the following projects under construction:

    • The Joseph – An 11-story hotel and six-story office building located in the Short North.
    • 250 High – An 11-story mixed-use apartment/office/retail tower at High & Rich, Downtown.
    • 109 North Front – A City of Columbus office building is being demolished and replaced.
    • The View on Fifth – A six-story 285-unit mixed-use development at Fifth & Holly in 5xNW.
    • Grandview Yard Apartments – An additional set of 120 apartment units in three four-story buildings.
    • Riverfront Redevelopment – The removal of the Main Street Dam and creation of 33 acres of greenspace.
