DAKOTA IS GETTING COMPANY


Here are a couple pictures of the completely demolished AAA Rental Building. Good riddance although I did appreciate the retro rounded canopy along the sidewalk.

So what shall replace bad banquet rental offerings? Rajesh Lahoti is expanding his real estate and business empire with a new retail, condo, and parking garage complex that if based on the Dakota's design should be a great addition to the neighborhood. Height set-backs on the fourth floor will keep the building from overwhelming pedestrians and drivers along High.

Now all Rajesh has to do is update his website with the design aspects and I will be happy.

I'm also glad to see this building finally gone. I thought the style was way outdated, and the Short North needs more density than what that one-story building offered.
