Jerome Township Near Dublin to Get New Retail Center

Follow

The Columbus and Central Ohio metro has been relatively quiet in recent years concerning large scale suburban retail developments, but that’s going to change a bit with the Simon Tangers Outlet retail Mall at I-71 and route 36 in Delaware County, Bridge Street Corridor in Dublin and now this 400,000 square foot net leased retail center, Dublin Green, located northwest and outside of Dublin at the 161 and route 33 interchange.

Although the new center in Jerome Township to be named Dublin Green isn’t technically in the City of Dublin, it is expected to have quite an impact.

The Jerome Township area is one of the fastest growing area in Central Ohio with 20,000 new households since 2000 with in the ten mile radius of the 161 route 33 interchange. Median household income is over $90,000.

Concerns are that there has been no discussions yet between the City of Dublin, Jerome Township, Union County and the Ohio Department of Transportation so you’ll hear the typical complaints regarding anticipated traffic and the proposed layout of the site.

The developer describes the project as more suburban versus the more urban Bridge Street Corridor that’s expected to be more urban and similar to Short North with its niche net leased retailers and polished casual restaurant. Dublin Green is expected to be more national credit retailers such as the Costco who has already signed on to be an anchor in the project. Don’t be surprised to see all of the typical suspects to show up in the area such as Home Depot or a Menards. A Giant Eagle or a Krogers would be expected somewhere close.  It’s expected to be an important addition to the Dublin net leased retail market.
