It is a neat building in one of the defining areas of Italian Village. I am excited that something decent it happening there. I am sure it will rent out quickly and I hope the restaurant is something new to the area.

Wonder Bread Lofts will be Home to Mixed-Use Redevelopment
May 18, 2012
By: Walker
Three years ago, Wonder Bread closed their Columbus bakery located at 697 North Fourth Street in Italian Village. For a time it looked like the proposed Wonderland art studio redevelopment project would be located in this space, but those plans fell through last summer.

I dunno Walker, the pictures a month apart look pretty much exactly the same.
I hope they are doing lots of stuff on the inside that we can't see from the street.
I mean, the side of the street, where you pulled over to safely take a photo. :)Posted 9 months ago # -

Redevelopment Projects Give Historical Icons a Second Life
Casualties of the changing face of American industry and culture, historic factories and districts were abandoned for decades. Now developers around the country are giving them a second life

"When the building went up for sale, people were like, 'Oh my god, we're not going to lose the sign, right?'" says Kevin Lykens, owner of Lykens Companies. Lykens and his team recently undertook a project renovating the old Wonder Bread factory in Columbus, Ohio's Italian Village neighborhood, a part of the city residents associated with the factory's bright red neon Wonder Bread sign.
And of course, the smell of freshly baked bread.
"We won't have that smell," Lykens concedes. "But knowing that the building is still there, the sign is still there—everyone is ecstatic the building is not going anywhere."

That area is on the cusp of exploding.tell that to Jeffery Place. but really, lost in all the Wonderland hate is the simple fact that the owners of this building decided it would be more lucrative to develop it privately than lease it to a non-profit. I think that does suggest that there's a bright future for the area.
