Arena District developer Nationwide Realty Investors Ltd. is moving toward construction of a 1,225-slot parking garage between Nationwide Arena and Neil Avenue, ahead of construction of an office complex to be anchored by Columbia Gas of Ohio Inc.

The Downtown Commission will consider the planned four-level parking garage at its Oct. 25 meeting, according to an application filed Oct. 11. The $12 million project, designed by the Columbus office of Kansas City’s 360 Architecture , will replace 525 surface parking spots on the site of the planned garage and a 280,000-square-foot office building Columbia Gas expects to occupy in 2014.

I understand the need for more parking, but I wish they added a floor to the structure and so the 1st floor good house some retail. At least have the East side of it, which faces the arena, available for future restaurants or cafes.

Columbia Gas of Ohio won’t move into its new headquarters in the Arena District for three more years, but when it does, a parking garage will be waiting for its employees.

Developer Nationwide Realty Investors intends to begin work on that project early next year. The garage is to be completed by the end of 2012.

Nationwide is set to present plans to the Downtown Commission on Tuesday for a 1,200-space, $12 million parking garage to serve the Columbia Gas headquarters.

For the garage or actual building?

It looks like the whole project is underway - that corner is a full-on construction site.

I recall reading that the garage was to be built first in order to make up for the lose of surface lot spaces.
