^ There is also some sort of addition to the church (I think 4 stories or something) that was issued a permit a few weeks ago.

The rectory is getting a 3rd floor and full remodel as part of the deal with the developer.

That was probably it. The permit was a renovation one but listed "new construction" on it. Usually when it's an addition it just states addition. Thanks for the clarification.

Either way, I'm excited for this one to start and another lot to bite the dust.

Ugh, did we really need another variation on One Museum Park / Museum Park West (The Grant)?

There are four major parking lots left in the area bounded by the River, Ohio, Columbus/Fairbanks, and Mich Ave. Five if you count that dilapidated parking garage at St. Claire and Grand. It'll be really interesting to see what happens with them. It'd be nice if 1-2 of them were office buildings and not all residential or hotels. From an urban life standpoint, together those are probably more important than the Spire site.
