Columbus to review 16-story student housing complex at corner of Lane and High
UNIVERSITY DISTRICT, Ohio (WCMH) — The corner of North High Street and Lane Avenue could look different under a new 16-story student housing proposal.
On Feb. 28, Georgia-based Landmark Properties submitted a plan for the property at 2160 N. High St. for review by the University Impact District Review Board. According to plans submitted to the city, the 16-story high-rise would create 72 parking spots for an undisclosed number of housing units, including some designated for affordable housing options.
Historic central Ohio church listed for $2.4 million
Last July, the city updated zoning laws affecting the site, allowing Lane Avenue, High Street and Broad Street buildings to be taller than was previously permitted. These zoning updates — the first in 70 years — cleared the way for Landmark's high-rise plan.
The site falls under the new Urban Core zoning, which allows 12-story buildings with up to four additional stories if it provides sufficient affordable housing options. Landmark Properties did not specify how many affordable housing units it would provide, but the four-story addition variance requires 20%-30% of units to be low-income qualified housing.
Located across the street from several dormitories for Ohio State University, the site would be centrally located for students. Currently, the spot hosts a CVS Pharmacy, which developers said would be torn down. Conceptual plans show the CVS would be rebuilt into the building's first floor.
The plans and renderings, done by BBCO, show various amenities around the residential units. Floor 13 appears to have a large open-air balcony in the building's center for residential use. Renderings also label the window-heavy development 'The Standard.'
The building is not scheduled for review at this month's University Impact District Review Board meeting, which will take place on Thursday. However, it will likely go before the board in the coming months for approval.

GA law gives tenants at a Southwest Atlanta Apartment Complex protections against unsafe conditions
Tenants at the Bolden Townhomes in southwest Atlanta say they've been living without power for months and are demanding better living conditions. Channel 2's Eryn Rogers first reported on the situation last Sunday, and since then, housing advocates have taken action. On Friday, members of the Housing Justice League held a news conference at the complex, calling for accountability from the property owner, Edward Bolden of Bolden Capital Group. On Friday evening, Bolden had crews making visible improvements such as grass cutting and trash removal, but tenants say those efforts barely scratch the surface. 'I ain't seen this since I've been out here,' said tenant Reco Ford. Ford showed a cooler he uses in place of a refrigerator and expressed frustration with what he sees as superficial fixes. 'Y'all want to come and cut the grass, but that's just a front. We have bigger issues than that going on over here. We ain't got no power. Folks ain't got no refrigerator, no stove,' Ford said. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Owner Edward Bolden of Bolden Capital Group sent the following statement: 'We take the concerns raised by the Oakland City community and residents of Bolden Townhomes very seriously. Our mission has always been to provide safe, stable, and accessible housing — and that remains our commitment. Over the past several months, we've faced complex challenges at this property, including unauthorized occupancy, utility theft, and damage to units. These issues have created difficult and unsafe conditions for our legal residents, our team members, and the broader community. In partnership with local law enforcement and under guidance of the law, we've taken necessary steps to protect the property and ensure a safe environment for those who reside here legally. We recognize that this situation is deeply concerning for many, and we're working actively to stabilize the property, improve conditions, and engage residents who meet our leasing requirements. Due to pending legal matters, we are limited in what we can share at this time, but we welcome ongoing dialogue with city officials and community leaders as we move toward resolution." Tenants dispute that they're squatters. Several showed rent receipts and keys to their units as proof that they are legitimate residents. The conflict comes amid growing attention on Georgia's tenant protections under the 'Safe at Home Act,' passed last year. State Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver (D-Decatur), who co-sponsored the legislation, said the law requires landlords to maintain habitable living conditions. TRENDING STORIES: Atlanta-area rapper sentenced for bringing stolen loaded 'machine gun' into hospital labor unit 38-year-old GA man charged with grooming a minor Stolen vehicle leads to police chase along I-20 'If they've paid rent, it doesn't matter that they didn't have a written lease, but what is true under the bill we passed last year is that landlords are very specifically obligated to provide a habitable place to live,' Oliver said. She also explained that tenants must contact code enforcement to report violations. She said code enforcement is responsible for taking legal action against landlords who fail to meet the law's standards. 'If you're in violation of code, you're going to be fined. You're going to be sanctioned,' Oliver said. Meanwhile, tenants say they just want to live in safe and humane conditions. 'I feel like nobody, and I am somebody,' Ford said. Rogers reached out to Atlanta code enforcement to ask about possible violations at the Bolden Townhomes. Officials said they would follow up, but as of Friday, there has been no further response.
