‘Modern, Edgy’ Hotel in Downtown ODOT Director Columbus Takes Aim at Millennials Warns of Coming Financial Crisis

By Irwin Rapoport

CEG CORRESPONDENT

Construction began last March on the new $23 million, seven-story Aloft in Columbus, Ohio, and Welty Building Company Ltd., which is managing the project, expects to deliver the boutique hotel by September.

The developer behind the project is Indus Hotels. Aloft is a chain of hotels owned by Marriott that is expanding in many parts of the country.

The nearly 106,000-sq.-ft. rectangular hotel, located at 1295 Olenganty River Road — near the elevated State Route 315 and West Fifth Avenue, not far from Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center — features 164 rooms on the upper five floors and 9,762 sq. ft. of total public amenity space.

The public space includes a ground floor lobby and podium level check-in; 600 sq. ft. of meeting space; a 900-sq.ft. fitness center; a 1,301-sq.-ft. elevated interior pool with city views; a 400sq.-ft. café/diner; the wxyz bar, a swanky, modern, 1,170-sq.-ft. bar and lounge outfitted for live entertainment that includes a prep kitchen; and a 1,229-sq.-ft. elevated patio with ample seating, outdoor fire pits and city views, as well as a signature rooftop section clad in glass.

There are 22 parking spots in the front and another 22 in the back, with one level of parking on the ground floor of the building, which also houses some of the HVAC and other systems.

The project has a total of 201 spaces, which it shares with the Cap City Diner.

The building is a combination of EIFS, metal and wood-grain panels, along with some block with a podium see HOTEL page 4

Welty Building Company Ltd. is managing the construction of the boutique Aloft hotel in downtown Columbus and expects to complete the project by September.

Unless serious measures are taken soon to bolster funding for the Ohio Department of Transportation, its ability to properly maintain, rebuild, and expand the state’s road and bridge network will be compromised, ODOT Director Jack Marchbanks told the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Feb. 5.

Gov. Mike DeWine is calling on Ohio legislators to increase the state’s gasoline tax by 18 cents and to index the tax to inflation to ensure ODOT’s annual budget can properly maintain the transportation network.

Without such revenue enhancement, Marchbanks warned, ODOT will run out of money for any new highway improvement projects as of July 1. As things stand, the department has already delayed $150 million in maintenance work scheduled through fiscal year 2020, he said.

“This system is facing an impending crisis,” Marchbanks said. “Today … we are facing a future where we will clearODOT photo ly not be able to Ohio Department of maintain the quality Transportation Director of the system we Jack Marchbanks. have, let alone improve upon it, and, to be blunt, this will endanger the safety of every single person who travels Ohio’s see ODOT page 6

Interstate 75 Project Enters Third Year of Construction Extensive work on the Interstate 75 widening and reconstruction project in Findlay, Ohio, allowed the project to reach its first major milestones during 2018, and work continues as the project enters its third year of construction.

In 2018, the most notable changes in traffic patterns occurred off the mainline lanes of Interstate 75. In October, Lima Avenue closed to through traffic and pedestrians under U.S. 68/State Route 15 for approximately one year.

“The closure of Lima Avenue allows us to build the double roundabout on Lima Avenue, which is a crucial feature of the redesigned interchange at Interstate 75, U.S. 68/State Route 15 and Lima Avenue,” said Kirk Slusher, ODOT District 1 deputy director. “It’s an inconvenience now, but a safer and more practical interchange will come from it.”

Additionally, a new traffic pattern was put in place at the interchange of Interstate 75 and U.S. 68/State Route 15. A new flyover ramp was opened in November to carry traffic from Interstate 75 southbound to U.S. 68/State Route 15, replacing the old loop ramp configuration.

“The ramp carries traffic up and over the mainline lanes of the interstate to get to U.S. 68/State Route 15, which allows for safer and faster travel between the two highways,” Slusher said.

Below are some facts that tell the progress of the project’s second year.

• The reconstructed Harrison Street overpass opened in January. The original overpass was replaced with a taller and longer structure to accommodate the additional travel lanes on Interstate 75 below it.

• The second of three phases to reconstruct the Interstate 75 bridge over the Blanchard River was completed in the summer. The second phase of the bridge, located

Work continues on the third and final phase of the Blanchard River bridge structure.

in the middle of the structure, currently carries both lanes of northbound traffic while the third phase of the bridge is constructed.

• Construction of noise walls along the project finished, except soil grading and seeding.

• The entrance and exit ramps on Interstate 75 northbound at State Route 12 and U.S. 224 were reconstructed and reopened.

• The new flyover ramp from Interstate 75 southbound to U.S. 68/State Route 15 opened in November, replacing a loop ramp configuration.

• The ramp from U.S. 68/State Route 15 to Interstate 75 southbound closed in November through late 2020 to allow for construction activities at the interchange of Interstate 75, U.S. 68/State Route 15 and Lima Avenue.

• Lima Avenue beneath U.S. 68/State Route 15 closed to through traffic and pedes-

trians in October for approximately one year to allow for the construction of a double roundabout and a new bridge structure in the area.

• A gas line near Logan Avenue was relocated to allow for the roadway’s realignment with Lima Avenue.

• A third travel lane was opened on Interstate 75 northbound between U.S. 224 and county Road 99 in December. A third travel lane is expected to open on Interstate 75 southbound in the area later this month.

Traffic in the area travels on intermediate pavement, with final pavement surfaces to be placed toward the project’s completion in 2020.

Significant work also was completed on the reconfigured interchange at Interstate 75, U.S. 68/State Route 15 and Lima Avenue.

Multiple bridge structures are currently under construction at the interchange to carry various ramps and mainline lanes over

one another and over the railroad tracks in the area. Work will continue in the area of the interchange through late 2020, when the entire project is slated to be completed.

Slusher said significant work will occur over the winter when weather permits. Two lanes of traffic on Interstate 75 will continue to be maintained most of the time while construction continues. Some occasional nighttime closures will occur.

Work will include the following: • Construction of the third phase of the Blanchard River bridge, which will carry all three Interstate 75 northbound lanes when finished. The first two phases of the structure, which have already been completed, will carry the southbound lanes in the final traffic pattern.

• Construction of the ramps and double roundabout at the interchange of Interstate 75, U.S. 68/State Route 15 and Lima Avenue.

• Drainage work near Lima Avenue.

The $114 million project reconstructs and widens approximately 5 mi. of Interstate 75 from just south of the Harrison Street overpass to the County Road 99 interchange north of Findlay. The project also includes the replacement of all mainline bridges on Interstate 75, replacement of the Harrison Street overpass, the redesign and reconstruction of the interchange between U.S. 68/State Route 15 and Interstate 75, and the redesign and reconstruction of the interchange with U.S. 68/State Route 15 at Lima Avenue.

The entire reconstruction project is expected to be completed in late 2020.

Beaver Excavating, Canton, serves as the general contractor on the project. 

Google Plans to Build $600M Data Center in New Albany NEW ALBANY, Ohio (AP) Google said it plans to build a $600 million data center in an Ohio city, part of $13 billion in planned investments this year.

Last December, Google affiliate Montauk Innovations said it was considering New Albany for a data center project in the New Albany International Business Park.

New Albany spokesman Scott McAfee said the city is excited about Google’s investment in central Ohio.

Google’s project is the latest in

what has been a string of data centers for central Ohio.

Google’s investment in central Ohio is a part of its plan to invest more than $13 billion this year on new and expanded data centers and offices across the United States.

CEO Sundar Pichai announced the news in a blog post Feb. 13, emphasizing the company’s growth outside its Mountain View, Calif., home and across the Midwest and South.

“2019 marks the second year in a row we’ll be growing faster out-

side of the [San Francisco] Bay Area than in it,” he wrote.

Google will build new data centers in Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia. Pichai estimated the construction of the new centers will employ 10,000 workers.

It makes good political sense for Google to highlight its expansions outside coastal cities, said CFRA Research analyst Scott Kessler.

U.S. legislators have paid increasing attention to Google and other big tech companies in the past year

and are considering passing privacy laws to regulate the companies’ reach. Investing more widely across the United States could help it curry favor with federal politicians and officials, he said.

Google is focused on expanding its cloud-computing business, a market where it faces stiff competition from larger rivals Amazon and Microsoft.

The company will have a physical presence in 24 states by the end of the year. It currently has locations in 21 states, and is expanding

into Nevada, Ohio and Nebraska.

Its expansion is likely also a way to attract new employees, Kessler said. Google will add an office in Georgia and expand its offices in several cities including in Seattle and Chicago.

Google said it spent more than $9 billion on similar expansions across the country last year.

Google did not give an exact number of employees it expects to hire as a result of the 2019 expansions but said it would be “tens of thousands” of full-time workers.

This will be the second Aloft hotel in Columbus and one of several in the state.

“The design is modern and edgy, but maintaining a multigenerational appeal,” said Warren Bath, OHM Advisors project architect. “This design is largely custom because of the need for parking under the building. Lifting the building off the ground created a lot of interesting opportunities and challenges for the design team.

The building maintains its brand identity but also maintains its own identity.”

The design has been described as contemporary and lifestyle, with a focus on catering to millennials.

Fifth Third Community Invests in Cincinnati Housing Fifth Third Community Development Co. LLC, a subsidiary of Fifth Third Bancorp, will invest $5 million with Cincinnati Development Fund to further housing redevelopment in underserved neighborhoods in Cincinnati.

As part of Fifth Third Bank’s Community Commitment, established in 2016 at $30 billion and increased in 2018 to $32 billion, the Fifth Third CDC invested $209 million in 2017. It expects its 2018 investments to rise to $220 million.

“We are grateful for the Fifth Third CDC’s support and long-lasting commitment to Cincinnati Development Fund and our work,” said Jeanne Golliher, the fund’s president and CEO. “It is because of partners like the Fifth Third CDC that we are able to strengthen the economic vitality of Greater Cincinnati by investing in our neighborhoods.

“We are especially thankful as we celebrate 30 years of making an impact in Greater Cincinnati through positive, catalytic projects in low-income neighborhoods,” Golliher said.

She noted that the $5 million investment from Fifth Third CDC was the largest single investment CDF has received.

Through the years, the CDC has partnered

to wait five or six years too long to make the needed repairs,” he said. “Delaying maintenance work may help us balance our budget in the short-term, but as every homeowner knows, delaying needed maintenance only results in more cost in the long-run. The price of rebuilding a broken highway system is much, much greater than the cost of maintaining it properly in the first place.”

The deterioration of roads that results from the deferred maintenance also will result in more crashes and deaths, Marchbanks said.

“Endangering the lives and well-being of the people of this state is unthinkable. Not funding critical infrastructure projects puts the health and safety of our citizens at risk” he said. “The cost of inaction is unacceptable.”

He then issued a similar warning about bridges.

“Without funding for needed maintenance, these structures will eventually pose a safety threat that force them to be closed in

transportation network. Despite ODOT’s money-saving efforts of instituting efficiencies, delaying projects, and stretching our dollars as far as they can go, we are looking over the edge of a fiscal cliff.”

Marchbanks referred to a combination of borrowing and spending over the past few years as a “perfect storm” that has led to the current predicament.

The last time the state increased the gas tax was in 2003, when a two-cent increase for three consecutive years was approved.

This tax was not indexed to inflation, and so, while ODOT’s budget has essentially remained frozen, traffic volumes on ODOT roads are at “an all-time high,” and with increased fuel efficiency, less gasoline is being purchased, Marchbanks said.

“Motorists are putting more wear and tear on our roads than ever, but the money they are contributing for maintenance is not keeping up,” he said. “Back in 2003, our modest projection was that gas use would increase by 1 percent each year. That hasn’t happened. Instead, from 2003 to 2018, consumption of motor fuel in “I cannot, in good conscience, Ohio on average increased only one-third of 1 percent each year.” recommend that this practice of If projections are correct, about one-third of vehicles on U.S. roads borrowing continue.
