Not much detail yet, but the site at 965 N. High will be developed by Borror Properties and White Castle into a mix of studio-2 bedroom units atop a new White Castle and other retail shops.

It might have been a catchy April Fools headline earlier but now it looks like it might really be happening!

Two longstanding family businesses in Columbus have tentative plans to jointly redevelop a site in the middle of the Short North.
Borror Properties CEO Doug Borror and White Castle President Lisa Ingram have pending plans for a residential and retail redevelopment of the White Castle site at 965 N. High St. and its oversized parking lot.
Details of the project are still in the works but discussions have gone on for nearly a year on redeveloping the 0.7-acre site.

For the next April Fool’s, he should do one about a proposed 60-story mixed-use tower to replace the Capital South parking garage.

Hopefully it will look better than Walker’s rendering ;-D

It would be cool to have window seating on both High and Second. Maybe a counter or booths…

Short North White Castle to be Redeveloped
October 23, 2014 4:51 pm – Walker Evans

On April 1st, we announced that the Short North White Castle would be torn down and replaced with a new mixed-use apartment development. Of course, that was an April Fools Day joke.

Today, we’re reporting that the Short North White Castle will be torn down and replaced with a new mixed-use apartment development. This time, no joke.

Drunk frat boys rejoice! Now you can get shitfaced, go eat a bunch of fatty food and have explosive diarrhea in someone else’s bathroom without driving!

I’d dig it if they brought back the classic diner look inside.

Kinda like the Philco Diner

But I think this is their “new” look.

I was thinking about an article about replacing the Short North UDF. Then maybe that would finally happen. ;)

If this can survive without a drive-thru, why can’t the Donatos across the street?

That too… and the lot beside it. It’s been a rough year, we need a serious win.

Are they going to retain the bullet proof glass? or are those days over?
