“The developer behind a proposed downtown Columbus tower may tweak the design of the project after feedback from the Downtown Commission. The commission Tuesday considered the project from Bluestone Brothers Capital on a conceptual basis, meaning no action was taken. Bluestone Brothers is proposing a 23-story mixed-use building with 290 apartments and a five-story commercial building at 199 E. Rich St. “
“The 23-story building would front Rich Street and the commercial building would front 4th Street. The project is proposed to span the entire block bounded by East Rich, South 4th, East Cherry and South Young streets. The building that houses Little Palace and El Camino would not be torn down in this proposal. However, the buildings that house 16-Bit Bar + Arcade, Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace and the former Red Velvet Cafe are proposed to be demolished. According to city staff, those buildings were built between 1900 and 1940.”
