COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A mixed-use apartment complex with a bar could soon be built on the Columbus site where Spaghetti Warehouse once stood.
Plans by Columbus architecture firm Moody Nolan call for two seven-story buildings with 250 apartments to be constructed at 397 W. Broad St., the property home to Spaghetti Warehouse before it was demolished in February. The complex would be named "The Macklin," in honor of a 19th-century hotel that operated on the site until facing a bulldozer in the 1950s.

The first two floors would also house the complex's 277-space parking garage and some amenities, like a fitness center and a co-working space.
The third floor of each building would feature an "amenity deck," with the north building's deck home to an "Ice Cube Amenity Lounge" and the south building's deck including a pool. The Macklin's upper residential floors would house 35 studio units at 465 square feet, 153 one-bedroom units at 596 square feet, and 62 two-bedroom units at 896 square feet.
Chillicothe paper mill that employs about 800 being shut downDevelopers introduced plans in January 2024 to demolish the Spaghetti Warehouse building to make way for an apartment development, which at the time called for 534 units and a 577-space parking garage. Last October, the Ohio Department of Development awarded $52 million for demolition projects across this state, including the Spaghetti Warehouse.
The project is owned by Robert Weiler of the Robert Weiler Company, Pat Kelley of Kelley Companies and Spaghetti Warehouse owner Doug Pak. They said in a letter to the downtown commission at the time that the building, which suffered a partial roof collapse in 2022, was "simply too old and unsafe."
Spaghetti Warehouse, known for its historic trolley that was saved from demolition to become a learning tool honoring a central Ohio transportation inventor, has since reopened Downtown.
