Westerville Ohio - Uptown Evolution

Westerville Ohio – Uptown Evolution

Posted January 17, 2013

Since this is the community where I actually live I thought I would post an update regarding activity in old uptown Westerville.

The project at 7 & 9 N. State that my clients are working on is progressing nicely. The building was a disaster and has been gutted and rebuilt. The exterior is being restored to its 1874 look, but with Nano walls on the State St. exterior similar to Marcella’s in the Short North. Current plans are to lease 7 N. State to a restaurant user and use 9 N. State for a Groovy Spoon Frozen Yogurt. However, owners are willing to lease both spaces to an appropriate tenant. Interested parties should contact me at 614-905-6614.

This Week Community News reports that Westerville city officials see big room for improvement in the entire Uptown district with a public gathering space, entertainment venue and much improved parking. According to Westerville Senior Planner, Bassem Bitar: “as we look at the evolution of the city, and Uptown having always been the heart of the community, the basic motivating factor is to make sure it continues to be a strong center for the community,”

Westerville has contracted with the consulting firm of MKSK (Scioto Mile and Arena District) to help formulate a plan to much improve the Westerville Uptown District.
