foodiemonsterParticipantHeard a disturbing rumor from a reliable source that the 20 year lease on the North Market building is about to expire and the city is reluctant to renew it. Apparently the city is considering demolishing the North Market building to make way for a high rise hotel. There is no plan for an alternative location for the current North Market.
Clearly, this would be a major loss to the residents of Columbus. I urge everyone reading this to email/ call Mayor Ginther’s office to voice your concerns…March 31, 2016 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm #1120724
RBloodworthParticipantWell, I guess it’s April 1st somewhere at this moment. Please let this be a hoax…

Well not just any rumor. It’s a first post by a new user with info from an unnamed source. Face it, the North Market is done.

Eugene_CParticipantI saw the renderings, only 6 stories? They should be going for at least 12. And why can’t they use better quality materials on the exterior?

They should at least keep elements of the facade.
Seriously though, I just spoke with North Market Executive Director Rick Wolfe on the phone, who wanted me to relay that this rumor is 100% untrue.
As if anyone could seriously think that it was a possibility.

Heh… no, Rick called me. He saw the thread and asked that I clarify. He didn’t want the rumor to go without being addressed. Regardless of what day it is. ;)

JeffersinParticipantDid he clarify that the the market is staying and the hotel is actually being built in the North Market parking lot?

No, but he did say that some of the individual vendors within the North Market will be renting out their areas as sleeping quarters via AirBNB. So it’s not quite a hotel… more like a food-prep-based-hostel.
(That was a joke… just to be clear.)
