The Community Housing Network has delayed getting approval for a 40-unit housing project on East Rich Street from the city’s Downtown Commission while the nonprofit works on a few lingering design issues with another city panel.

The Hawthorn Grove Apartments plan for independent living rental units for those with mental illnesses did not receive approval from the Historic Resources Commission at that panel’s Oct. 18 meeting. Full approval of the proposed project at 546-558 E. Rich St. would have allowed it to take a fully vetted project to the Downtown Commission on Tuesday.

I think that is a very nice location for something like this. There are a lot of social services within close proximity. It is good to hear they are working with the commissions on design.

[Jason Powell]

Agreed.

I remember when they were planning market rate there. It is a nice location, very close to the library and topiary park.

I wonder what the design issues are? Seems like the front facade was conditionally approved…the rear of the building must be in question?

Are there any details on the scope of people who will be living there (type or cause of mental health issues)?

Hawthorn Grove Apartments construction getting underway downtown

The 40-unit Hawthorn Grove Apartments begins taking shape downtown this week.

The $6 million, three-story project will offer 39 one-bedroom apartments to those disabled by mental illness. It also will have a unit for the apartment community’s resident manager.

Where exactly is this? I did a Google search of the address and it looks to be where Rich Street turns a corner and heads south. Not sure if this is the exact lot because it seems pretty small. There are 2 other larger lots in the area also.

It’s right East of the curve on the North side of Rich,

Snapped a few pics of this project over the weekend… what an improvement from the huge surface lot!

Nice! I always forget to grab photos of that spot. You’ve really got to specifically loop over there by car if you want to drive past it.

Franklin County Commisioners approved a $375,000 loan earlier this month to Community Housing Network. The money will support the renovation of existing affordable housing units on the north side as well as the completion of the organization’s Hawthorn Grove project downtown.
