Columbus Commons - Another Project for the Files

A few months back we featured Columbus, Ohio projects proposed but never built.  

Now that we're sure this Columbus Commons design is headed for the same file, we can share.   These designs were in response to a request for proposals by downtown leaders.  The site is at the corner of S. High and Rich Streets.

While Meleca's concept was selected - for several reasons the project stalled.


First Columbus Commons Proposed Design

 
This first concept shows three mixed use buildings.  Retail on ground level with housing on upper floors. 



Second Columbus Commons Proposed Design


This second design concept shows two mix-use buildings with a free standing restaurant in middle.
