@jessew Not in the market to buy but hope to see this on a home tour or open house, great to see such innovation in our area.

Glad you like it! I'll have to check when the local tour dates are. Connie told me she's going to open it up for open houses once the drywall is installed, so probably 3-6 weeks (we're waiting on masonry as well right now). I honestly think the second house will be the ringer, it's modest in size and more practical for 2-3 people. The largest one (at corner) has space on the bottom floor for a small studio or office.

That tall, skinny house overlooking Interstate 670 east of the High Street cap has been sold, with expectations two more homes could get built next door this year. Short North developer Connie Klema’s Kerr Street Place Ltd. affiliate sold the three-level, 1,600-square-foot home at Kerr and East Russell streets Jan. 22 for $375,000, not far from the $385,000 she sought.

I went thru this condo on the Short North tour this summer. It's a very cool space. Once inside, the highway is almost like a never-stopping art installation - and the noise is the faintest hum. The rooftop terrace had an amazing view of downtown and the surrounding neighborhood. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of these homes come together.

Pretty impressive that it sold for $375k. I guess the modern design, skyline views and walkable neighborhood trumps being located on top of a highway.

Surprised by that myself, I also wouldn't want to be breathing in all that pollution, though I believe they added some kind of air filtering system. The buyer is well known in advertising and design circles so I assume it is a case of finding the right buyer for a signature high profile house.

I am curious to see if it holds it's value.. wonder what it will be worth in 3 years?

It is a super cool house, but living above a freeway just doesn't seem safe with all that car exhaust. I take my hat off to the developer and architect, they made it work and got it sold.

You can't discount an attached garage (with storage) and new construction.

For me, the highway is a non-issue - obviously for the buyers as well. :D

Yeah, that price seems about right in my mind for new construction in IV with those amenities. Having helped a friend buy a house in California recently it is shocking how low in general housing prices are in Columbus.

What will be interesting to see is what happens to central city realestate tax as the shift in property and land values increase.

There are still some nicely located empty lots in IV, I imagine those won't last long. It is surprising how quickly the area has transformed over the last 15 years.

And even more so in the next 10 years:
