The Design of Kramer Place

Highland and F.A. Goodman Architects set out to create a structure that would respond to the character of the area. Keeping in mind the rich ethnic heritage of Italian Village as well as its industrial past, Ted Goodman and his team of Architects and consultants wanted a building that would do what he calls "remembering". Many Italian Village residents were employed by the railroad or by the nearby Wonder Bread Bakery, Jeffrey Manufacturing Company and the Smith Brothers Hardware Company, from the late 1800s through the Great Depression. The building is intended to act as an architectural transition from the boxy industrial buildings to the south, to the residential-scaled buildings to the north. Therefore, Kramer Place Condominium's facade changes dramatically from south to north, thus re-establishing the 4th Street "edge" of the past. Utility-sized brick and large banks of square windows, emulate the factories and manufacturing plants that stood in the area for over 100 years. The northern portion of the building has lower sloped roofs, dormers, lighter colored brick and accent bands which deliberately and effectively relate to the residential scale of the neighborhood. By combining a variety of materials, textures, details and fenestration, the architecture of Kramer Place Condominiums weaves together industry and artistry, the past with the present.

Commercial Space

"A coffee shop, wine bar and art gallery would be great to have in the first floor commercial space at Kramer Place. Residents and folks from throughout Italian Village would be there all the time."

Columbus Italian Festival

"Look for Kramer Place to have a booth again at this years Columbus Italian Festival, October 5th, 6th & 7th presented by Saint John the Baptist Italian Catholic Church."

Short North Night Life

"Sometimes it's impossible to find parking in the Short North. Try looking along 4th St. or Summit…it's like 3 minutes to High Street."

Red, White and Boom

"Some of the Kramer Place Development Team took a sneak peak of the view of Red, White and Boom from the Penthouse unit at Kramer. Pretty Darn Cool!! If you lived in the Kramer Penthouse, you could have a smashing Red, White and Boom party in 2008! Check out a couple of the photos we took!"

The Rossi

"We had a great time in the Short North on Saturday night. My girlfriend and I really like the atmosphere at The Rossi at 1st Avenue & High Street."

Z Gallerie

"Check out the great furniture and accessories in the two bedroom model unit! A lot of the stuff came from Z Gallerie, which has a cool store out at Easton."

Construction Progress as of July 9, 2007!
