Nice. The empty lots are rapidly disappearing. Next up, hopefully, is the eyesore just across the street beside the UDF on High.

Any renderings?

[heresthecasey]

None were attached to the agenda, but the project is being presented to the IVC next Tuesday. If anyone goes, I’m pretty curious also as to what this thing will look like.

Columbus is going V-E-R-T-I-C-A-L (even more).

Quite impressive. Between The Hub, The Hub’s Garage and Parkside on Pearl, this stretch is getting very dense, very quickly.

About a week ago, which was the last time I looked, they’d already removed the original building and had cleared and graded the lot.

Noticed it was fenced off as well.

Oh, it’s already gone? I hadn’t been back there too recently, but I took a photo of that building from on top of the new Hub Garage just a month ago or so… the roof was already half collapsed:

i am not 100% certain, but based on the IV meeting I attended a couple of months ago, I think the removal of the old building had more to do with the integrity of the old building than it did with permission and preparation to build any new structure.

From what I heard at the most recent IV Society meeting, you’re correct, dru.

[heresthecasey]

It looks like this proposal has been scaled down slightly from 26 units over five levels, to 24 over only 3.5. Hopefully, this is able to get approved and moving without much more delay.

No real update… but a quick photo of the site with no building…

A rendering was passed around at this week’s IVS meeting. Looks pretty nice, imo!
