Columbus Construction Update for August 2015

Follow

There’s an amazing amount of commercial and residential construction activity in the Columbus Metro this summer so I thought I would take you over to Walker Evans’ Columbus Underground for an update.

Covered are the new Nationwide Children’s Hospital building at Parsons and Livingston, which is driving the development in Olde Town East.   I have a number of retailers and services looking at setting up shop in Olde Town East.  Look for major gentrification and revitalization of this area in the next ten years.

The Nationwide Insurance complex at Grandview Yard  will be ready for occupancy by the end of 2015.  Expect new net leased retail and restaurants all around the Nationwide buildings.   Get in line early if you want to be part of this.  Contact me, Scott Harris Realtor at 614-905-6614 for information regarding leasing.

Next largest project is the 11 new buildings for student housing at Ohio State University’s north campus.  Again, as with the above two, expect plenty of retail plus fast food and fast casual restaurants to serve the new demand.

View on Fifth still has a couple of street level opportunities left.  One is 1645 square feet and that should meet the needs of many small retailers looking for space in Grandview Heights.

As far as land area is concerned, the largest project is the Scioto Riverfront restoration, well underway for the entire length of the river through downtown.

Lastly, Walker Evans has provided updates on the many new and reutilization residential projects in and around downtown Columbus, from Jeffrey Park, Grant Park, Bishop Walk, View on Fifth, Harrison Park and many others.

Stunning progress for downtown Columbus.
