Before and After Franklinton

Before and after Franklinton Columbus, Ohio

Franklinton has been known as The Bottoms for many years, mainly because the low-lying neighborhood has seen flooding more often than anywhere else in the city. With the completion of the Franklinton Floodwall nearly 20 years ago, the neighborhood has been seeing redevelopment at an ever-increasing pace. This Before and After of the neighborhood only covers some of the changes, and another similar post detailing more changes will most likely be needed.

Before: COSI Parking Lot in 2009

This large parking lot had once been part of Central High School’s campus and was originally the site of the schools track and athletic fields. After the school closed in the early 1980s, the area was converted to a large parking lot. It continued its life as parking when COSI moved from Downtown to a new facility in the converted school. When plans for the Scioto Peninsula to be redeveloped emerged, it was decided to turn the parking lot into a brand new park.
After: New Park in 2020

The parking was not actually lost, however. An underground garage was constructed beneath the park itself, which is now called Dorian Green. New development, which will include offices, retail and hundreds of new residences, can be seen under construction in the background.

Before: Veterans Memorial in 2011

The old Veterans Memorial was constructed in the mid-1950s. Over the subsequent decades, the building was renovated and expanded multiple times. By the 2000s, the building was considered outdated with a convoluted layout. Despite some objections, it was decided that the complex would be torn down and replaced with a new veterans center.
After: National Veterans Memorial and Museum in 2020

The new building had a far more modern, almost futuristic design, like something out of an X-Men movie. The new building was to remain a veterans memorial with office and event space, but also serve as a museum. It was eventually given the status of being the National Veterans Memorial, the only one of its kind in the nation.

Before: 500 West Broad Street in 2011

Back in 2011, 500 W. Broad was a collection of small businesses, most notably Wasserstrom restaurant supply. This stretch of Broad was unremarkable and a more modern remnant of urban renewal during the mid-20th Century.
After: 500 West Broad in 2020

Today, the first phase of the Gravity development occupies the entire stretch. This unique mixed-use development contains, among other things, apartments, retail space, community art and activity space for its residents. Directly across the street, the 2nd- and much larger- phase of Gravity is currently under construction.

Before: A.D. Farrow Harley Davidson in 2012

A century after the business was established, this Harley Davidson sales shop just down the street from Gravity looked out of date. Half the site was also a parking lot that fronted Broad Street.
After: A.D. Farrow Harley Davidson in 2020

In 2020, the business was engaged in a significant remodel and expansion. Local business investments such as this have been on the rise in Franklinton in recent years, especially east of 315.

Before: 524 West Broad in 2009

This site had been used as a car lot for some time. The original buildings had been demolished in the early 1960s,
replaced with surface parking.
After: 524 West Broad in 2020

Today the site is home to Franklinton Station, a lower-income residential complex for seniors.



Before: West Rich Street at the Railroad Crossing, looking west in 2009

This view of West Rich Street shows how the area had been in decline, with abandoned buildings on the right and run-down public housing on the left that had seen little investment since its construction in the early 1960s.
After: West Rich Street at the Railroad Crossing, looking west in 2020

Today, this section of Rich Street looks like a completely different place. Buildings have been renovated and old housing has been replaced with the much more dense River & Rich mixed-use development. The new complex contains retail space and residences that retain affordable housing. Another phase of the River & Rich development is in the works that may eventually include a new residential tower.

Before: 548 West State Street in 2011

The site at 548 W. State had been vacant for a number of years, with the original development having been demolished. By 2011, it was overgrown with weeds.
After: 548 West State Street in 2020

In 2020, the site had a brand new mixed-use building containing 13 apartments and retail space. The mural also contributes to Franklinton becoming more of an arts location as the previous arts destination, the Short North, becomes ever more expensive.

Before: Mount Carmel West in 2015

Mount Carmel West Hospital had been a dominant fixture in Franklinton for more than a century. It was originally known as Hawkes Hospital and constructed in 1886, becoming Mount Carmel in the 20th Century. However, by the 2010s, the location was deemed to be less optimal and so most of the services were moved to a new hospital in Grove City. The fate of the old hospital was sealed and a plan was drawn up to redevelop the entire site.
After: Mount Carmel West in 2020

By 2020, the main hospital was no more. The only structures that will remain include the nurse’s college and several parking garages. The site will be redeveloped with mixed-use projects including residential, retail and office space over the next several years.

Before: Hawkes Avenue, looking south from Chapel Street in 2009

Hawkes Avenue was a typical Franklinton street by the late 2000s, with its vacant lots, abandoned buildings and poorly-maintained infrastructure.
After: Hawkes Avenue, looking south from Chapel Street in 2019

Infill housing has been gradually becoming more common throughout Franklinton, as well as home renovations and general reinvestment in infrastructure by the City. Hawkes Avenue has been a beneficiary, and now looks better than it has in many years.

Franklinton has come a long way in just a few years, and the neighborhood is poised to only continue to change even more drastically in the near future. Many new projects are either under construction or have been recently proposed. Future phases of the Scioto Peninsula redevelopment will only spur additional development and growth westward. Whether Franklinton can revitalize without driving out too many of its existing residents remains somewhat of an open question.

housing market update February 2021 Columbus, Ohio

Just a week ago, I wrote about the Columbus housing market and how it was performing the past year. I used to do reports like that often, but hadn’t in years. Due to the overwhelmingly positive article response, I have decided to restart these monthly reports. Given the current state of the housing market, such information may be helpful to prospective homebuyers.

These new reports will be a bit more condensed than the one from last week. I will not list every location for every statistic as I did last week. Instead, I will still attempt to offer a general comparative view of the different markets within the region.

So let’s go!

Note: LSD= Local School District, CSD= City School District. In both cases, school district boundaries differ from city boundaries.

New Albany and some of the more urban suburbs and neighborhoods continue to be near the top of the pack in terms of price.

All this data can be confusing. Homebuyers must find the goldilocks zone of price, location and availability, and that’s difficult even in the friendliest of markets. Just because a local market may be seeing slower home sales doesn’t mean they’re affordable. Similarly, just because there’s a lot of supply doesn’t mean homes aren’t not selling out faster than they can go onto the market.

Columbus overall continues to have the most supply, but that’s far from the whole story. While the city added 830 new listings in February, only 582 were actually available for sale. This means that hundreds more homes were sold during the month than became available. The number of available homes only continued to shrink. Columbus’ entire supply would’ve sold out in just 18 days had no additional homes come up for sale.

And the thing is, nothing on the horizon indicates this situation will improve anytime soon. It’s not just that demand is drastically outweighing existing supply, though. Developers- when not faced with NIMBYism and zoning issues- are experiencing materials shortages that were exacerbated by the pandemic. Even when developers can build, they don’t always have the raw materials needed for construction. Unfortunately, these problems aren’t going to go away in the near future.

Given all of that, homebuyers have to be smart, they have to be very persistent, and they need to be prepared to spend more than originally planned.
