I feel like downtown Columbus should at least try to aim for some of this. It'd make actually living downtown easier and more realistic.

It'd make actually living downtown easier and more realistic.We need a forward-thinking developer Downtown to lead the charge on big(ger) box retail. Grandview Yard is developed by NRI, so they're the ones going after it for that location.
This article is a few years old, but showcases how many developers want to have nothing to do with Downtown, either because it's too risky, too expensive, or would be too competitive with their existing investments in suburban retail centers:

Looks like we have an answer with what was going on with the area north of the parking garage.

Grandview Yard may be getting apartments, a rare development for landlocked Grandview Heights.
Nationwide Realty Investors Ltd. has asked zoning officials to add a housing component to the developer’s growing office and retail project. The proposed 154 flats and townhouse-style apartments would be built in a trio of four-story buildings north of the Hyatt Place hotel.
“(The apartment project) really establishes the mixed-use nature of the development,” said Patrik Bowman, director of administration for the city. “It creates a little more attention and excitement for the whole development and keeps it in the public’s eye.”
...
The Lusk Architecture-designed complex would go up north of the first phase of the 90-acre Grandview Yard. In addition to the Hyatt hotel, the project includes an office building, fitness center and two restaurants.
The plan filed July 8 shows two buildings and a two-level parking deck on a 2.8-ace site. A third building is planned on another acre. It also includes ground-level garages and carports in the U-shaped buildings. Bowman said the apartments will be up to 1,700 square feet.

It would be nice to have an electronic store like Best Buy closer to central city. Imagine all the OSU students and all the residents who live within 5 miles that would use it.. Im sure Best Buy could come up with a more urban footprint for the store.there's a radio shack on High near Lane.

There is a Lowe's on Hudson. I think that's closer than Grove City.
It would be awesome if a typically big-box retailer did something like in the above pictures in Columbus, but somehow I don't think that would happen here. It's too cheap to build something on the outskirts.

Small bedrooms for the price in my opinion. You can find places as nice or nicer in VicVil and you can actually walk to places. Don't know why anyone would pay over $700 per bedroom in the corner of Grandview with almost nothing in walking distance.

I would walk there to Grandview Ave. no problem, plus there are some parks around. They are also putting in a little retail and the gym is there. I think it fits a market of people that want to be close, but kind of away from the city, which is perfect for people that bike places. I don't bike and walk, but can understand the need. I don't find the pricing to be all that bad. It's about where I would set it at.

I think the price is what is to be expected for a new build in a growing entertainment area (but not as rowdy as the AD) and is very close to the AD and Downtown. They will also be building a pretty large and fancy grocery store in the Yard. I was talking to a divorced friend of mine with a 5 year old and she is thinking that the address also has a perk in that it includes free Grandview Schools.
The other advantage is that this is an entirely new development. Most of the apartments in Grandview and VV are much older (which brings both charm and problems). I would also mention the #82 bus goes through the Yard, along Grandview Ave, through Lennox, through Campus and stops at the South Campus Gateway. It would be very easy to get to a lot of places from there. If I were a Law, MBA, or Med student I would probably rather live here than campus. It is also next to the Olentangy bike trail which I understand they will be improving the connection with at Goodale. I really like the AD but I can understand a lot of the more sedate perks of living in the Yard.
