Thanks for the link. I first saw this on the Italian Village FB page and the accompanying comments are so funny. They don’t look “Italian” enough. One car garages means not enough parking. Italian Village is losing its integrity. Seriously?

I live next door to the development and have nothing but praise for them.

@dru – We’ve wondered the same thing – something is DEFINITELY happening in the other building (NOT Fox in the Snow).

Also, the old taxi depot (that is going to have a mixed use 5 story built eventually) seems to have some Crossfit equipment in it now. Anyone know anything about that? We’ve seen some youngins’ moving the equipment in and setting it up this week.

Looks like that spot might be a Mission Coffee shop.

IV has gone from most Hookah bars per sq. mile to most coffee shops.

Good find! Aren’t they already in the Short North?

I’m curious about the 4 story addition they are trying to get approved for Union Café? Are they trying to add apartments above?

If a new Mission Coffee and Fox In the Snow Cafe are right next door…which “Third Wave” cafe will win?

[mbeaumont]

The new Mission Coffee is a roasting facility, not a full-fledged coffee house. I’ve heard that it might contain a small retail component, which I imagine would be selling beans, etc.

I don’t think it’ll be an issue.

Proposal Calls for Condos in Historic Church, New Townhomes
October 21, 2014 9:36 am – Brent Warren

A new proposal calls for the conversion of a historic Italian Village church into eight condominiums. The vacant lot next door to the church would see two new, four-story buildings. Together the new buildings would hold 14 townhome-style condominiums, each with parking on the first floor and three floors of living space above.

Right below that, it mentions 24 single-family homes for 21 Jeffrey Park. I don’t remember single-family being mentioned for the Jeffrey Park development.

They did originally announce plans for townhome-style “fee simple homes” that would be for-sale units. Perhaps this is a reference to those?
