Renderings of new Pavey Square plans released
Last month, developer JSDI Celmark scaled back plans to demolish historic Old North houses on High Street following a public outcry.
Yesterday the developer released renderings of just what the new View on Pavey Square would look like: modern buildings situated behind the historic houses.
One of the renderings even shows a proposed change to nearby Mexican restaurant Cazuela’s–now a shining white palace of an eatery with apartments above.
The proposal submitted to the University Area Review board includes plans for 115 apartments, office space, and a 230-car parking garage.
See the link below for the full renderings.

2/8/16: Plans for Pavey Square scaled back amidst public pressure
The historic Pavey Square district of Old North Columbus was scheduled to be leveled by developer JSDI Celmark before public pressure led to some slight alterations to the plans.
Originally, the View on Pavey Square, a massive 100-unit apartment building designed to house 420 students, was set to take the place of twelve historic houses.
Following public outcry, including a petition signed by almost 1,000 people, updated plans for the complex surfaced showing the eight houses adjacent to High Street in tact, requiring the demolition of four houses not visible from the street.
“It is apparent that preservation of the streetscape is critical to many stakeholders in the neighborhood,” said lawyer James Maniace in a letter representing JSDI Celmark.
Though neighbors are not completely satisfied with the new plans, advocates are calling the plans a balance between new development and preservation.
