One Twenty Vine Proposes 242 Arena District Apartments on Vine Street Lot
HP Land Development and Nationwide Realty Investors take a seven-story residential plan to Downtown Commission on Sept. 22.
A gravel parking lot one short walk from Nationwide Arena could become 242 apartments. Plans for One Twenty Vine, a seven-story residential building on the block bounded by Vine, Spruce, Armstrong, and Kilbourne streets, go before the Downtown Commission on Tuesday, September 22, at 8:30 a.m. at 111 N. Front St., Room 204.
Drawings filed with the city list 120 Vine St. as the future address and combine nine parcels plus right-of-way into one site. The project is residential only, with no retail. Architect Columbus Architectural Studio prepared the elevations now circulating publicly.
Details in this story draw from Columbus Navigator's report on the One Twenty Vine proposal and the Downtown Commission application materials referenced there (COA2600944).
What the drawings show
City staff describe a two-story base with five stories above it, a parapet just over 83 feet, brick and stone on the base, and bronze-toned fiber cement, lap siding, and corrugated metal higher up. Parking sits enclosed on the first floor, entered from the rear. A skywalk would connect the third floor to Kilbourne Garage to the west, the same garage that serves Two Twenty Vine and 500 Neil.
Ground-floor amenities along Vine and Armstrong include a leasing office, fitness center, and resident lounge. An internal courtyard would hold a four-foot-deep pool, sun shelf, gas grills, a gas fireplace, and a shade structure. Street trees and a package pull-off lane are part of the landscape plan.
Who is building it, and what parking goes away
Owner of record is HP Land Development LTD, an affiliate of Hamilton Parker. The partnership includes Nationwide Realty Investors, the Arena District developer that also worked on Two Twenty Vine next door. For arena and North Market visitors, the practical change is clearer than the brick palette: the whole block is paid public parking today, and the new garage is for residents only.
Kilbourne Garage remains. The skywalk implies residents will use it heavily. Fans and market shoppers who relied on the gravel lot will need a new parking routine if the commission approves design and permits follow.
Orient the blocks with our Arena District page. Housing tradeoffs across the metro still live in where to live by lifestyle. Game-night logistics for Jackets and concerts sit in the first-timer sports and game-day guide. Citywide sports listings are under Things to Do: Sports.
September 22 is the design vote, not a groundbreaking. If the commission signs off, building permits still stand between the gravel and the first leases.
