Perhaps they wanted to make it look like the historic Ohio Pen.

Ha, actually painting a mural of it on the side would be sweet.

National Church Residences (NCR) opened another one in its series of attractive and successful Commons projects at 1280 Norton Avenue. This is the fifth Commons housing development operated by NCR in Columbus. This project - called The Commons At Third - is a $11 million, three-story building with 100 studio apartments and supportive services for formerly homeless and disabled low-income single adults. The Commons at Third is located 1/2 block north of Third Avenue within Columbus and just northwest from the Grandview Yard development within Grandview Heights.
Below are articles about the July 16 opening of the Commons At Third from Business First and This Week News along with a photo of the Commons at Third from Columbus Underground:

Interesting profile and recent economic development history lesson about the City of Grandview Heights from The Metropreneur Columbus:
Grandview still focused on redevelopment, attracting businesses
The Metropreneur Columbus - Regional Spotlight

With its proximity to downtown Columbus and The Ohio State University, it’s arguable that Grandview Heights has long been an attractive bedroom community. But that wasn’t good enough for city officials. They wanted businesses to take up residence there as well, and in recent years they set out to attract them. So far, it appears their efforts are working.
Economic development in Grandview became a top priority almost a decade ago, when it was announced that Penn Traffic was bankrupt, which meant the entire Big Bear operation in the city would be closed. Big Bear occupied about one million square feet of warehouse space. With the loss of Big Bear and several other major employers, Grandview lost about 7 percent of its revenue.

--- Quote from: Columbo on May 29, 2012, 04:38:29 PM ---A large site along Dublin Road is in line for some future development. The 36-acre site is partially in the City of Columbus and partially in the City of Grandview Heights. It was previously a quarry site that later became an unregulated landfill until it was closed down in 1967. The area has since been overgrown and resembles a forested park. However, it is still a landfill. And it is also located at a desirable location west of downtown Columbus and south of Grandview.
Local developer Wagenbrenner Development has secured a $3 million state grant to clean up the property and prepare for future development at what will be called Grandview Crossing. What the future development will be is unclear. Previously, Wagenbrenner had mentioned office and retail development for the site. However, a state press release on the grant award hinted at the possibly of up to 200 multifamily units as well as office and retail. But regardless of what development might go on the 36-acre site, it won't be built soon. The developer estimates that the site clean-up will not be finished before 2016.
Below are two recent articles about the 36-acre Grandview Crossing site from Columbus Business First and the Columbus Dispatch:

More about this 36-acre Grandview Crossing redevelopment site from Columbus Underground. CU talked with the site developer, Wagenbrenner Development, about this and three other urban infill projects they are working on in the article: Wagenbrenner Continues Urban Infill Development in 2013. The Grandview Crossing project is discussed under the heading "The Former Kaplin Landfill Site".
