YouTubeNew project proposed for Short North/Italian Village
I attended the Italian Village Society’s regular monthly meeting to hear about Rajesh Lahoti’s (developer of The Dakota) latest project which is proposed for the north east corner of E. Hubbard St. and N. High St. directly to the north of Haiku in the Short North, currently home to AAA Rental.
The project as presented, temporarily named “Urban Oasis”, is to be 170+, 10 story until of 1 and 2 bedroom condominiums. The main building which fronts High Street will also have a 2 level underground garage. At street level there will be retail (16 foot ceiling) along High and Hubbard Street, with residential on the 2 floors immediately above it with I believe approximately 10 foot ceiling. The facade design will be masonry to match much of existing architecture in the Short North with levels 4-10 being mostly glass and metal with balconies for every unit with about 9 foot ceilings.
To the east of the main building will be an above ground parking structure which has 10(?) 3 story live/work townhomes planned that will face the Italian Village Park.

It’s really not too bad to park when you know where to look. Anne & I hit the gallery hop nearly every month and we’re always parked within a few minutes, and just have a short walk to high. 8)
But yeah, I’d love to see this new development happen. I’ve been a fan of tearing down that FUGLY building for a long time. It’s always looked like such a waste of space.
Did anyone go to the Italin Village Commission meeting last night to see of this got approved?

That spot was used to house a buisness that never relied on a storefront identity. They were a banquet service company that rented equipment for large events. The owner is a dear friend of my family and organizer of OSU best tailgate for years. He recently became very ill and is now bound to a wheelcair. His service and tailgate will be missed by many, but I’m quick to agree that it would help the face of the short north to improve to cosmetics of that storefront.
I actually remember seeing some equipment in there that looked like catering equipment when I peeked in when walking by awhile ago, but I wasn’t sure if it was a business, or just being used for storage space since I don’t ever remember seeing the lights on in there (or are the windows just THAT dark?). Either way, I’m not wishing for the business to go away, just the ugly building. If the business could stick around and just relocate that would be cool. Sorry to hear about your family friend though.
:?
did anyone else notice that the AAA rental service has finally moved out of this building? we walked by saturday afternoon during the hop, and all of the brass candelabras, popcorn machines and other inventory was gone.
looks like demolition might be in the near future? i hope it comes soon, if we have a few more harsh storms, and that overhand might collapse on its own.
oh, and 1st floor – yeehah.
I can’t wait to see this new place go up! ;)
