Notice those tree boxes will catch the stormwater running along the curb before it gets to the sewer - that's an example of how some "green streets" elements are simple and inexpensive.

These have been great to see installed on Gay Street and Town Street in the past. Looks like they're becoming pretty standard issue!

I thought that vacant storage facility on the corner of Main and Front was supposed to be converted to apts. Haven't heard anything lately. The area, and especially the time, is ripe for more apts. No more stick builds though or blank walls facing Front please.

Bicentennial Plaza lender wins parking ruling, puts site on market
Premium content from Business First by Brian R. Ball, Staff reporter
Date: Friday, May 25, 2012
The note holder that bought the Bicentennial Plaza in Columbus at a sheriff’s auction last year has won a legal victory involving parking spaces serving the building just as it put the downtown property on the market. GLIC Real Estate Holdings LLC of Virginia has hired Continental Realty Ltd. agents Wayne Harer and Clayton Davis to lease an empty 42,665 square feet in the six-story office building at 250 Civic Center Drive. The property had 17,550 square feet available when it fell into foreclosure in 2009.

I wonder if that building is suitable for residential? I also wonder if that means a developer could purchase the building and develop the adjacent surface lot?

I don't think the current building is(my uncles law office used to be in there) but I do think if someone were to develop the flat parking that apartments would be very appropriate

The Casto real estate company plans to sail down the Scioto River to a new home this fall. Casto will swap its offices at 274 Marconi Blvd. and 191 W. Nationwide Blvd. for about 38,000 square feet in the Bicentennial Plaza building at 250 Civic Center Drive in Columbus. The relocation is expected in October.

Great news but when oh when will someone develop the prime lot next to this??? Plans from Casto on the windowless shoe factory would also be nice... :).
Couldn't agree more. That lot next door would be a great spot for a mid-rise apartment tower and small retail space (similar to Carlyles Watch - not necessarily the same style). That whole area has some major potential...
Bicentennial Park is the best park in Columbus, in my opinion.
I also wouldn't be surprised if Lifestyles takes their townhouse concept further down Front Street all the way to Mound, which would be an enormous boost to RiverSouth.

Agreed...not that I'm in the market for a new pad, but of all the places to reside downtown, next door to bicentennial park would definitely be among the most desirable in my opinion. I am optimistic that its just a matter of time, but damn that's about as prime a candidate for parking lot erradication as we have in this city.

Maybe even more important would be getting rid of the damn Greyhound bus fortress. That could open up Lazelle Street and make way for more apartments near Columbus Commons...
