Highpoint on Columbus Commons is a $50 million mixed-use development project in Columbus, Ohio consisting of both multi-family and retail space. Highpoint includes 301 apartments and townhomes and has plans for 23,000 square feet of street-level retail fronting on High Street, the main north-south thoroughfare through Columbus, Ohio.
Highpoint on Columbus Commons is the first new residential development to occur at Columbus Commons, a seven-acre site in downtown Columbus that stands at the former site of the historic Columbus City Center mall.
History
The City of Columbus and the non-profit urban redevelopment entity Capitol South agreed to purchase the antiquated and abandoned Columbus City Center mall in 2007.
In 2009, the City of Columbus,[2] Capitol South and the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC)[3] announced plans to demolish the existing structure and develop a unique, urban park surrounded by residential, retail and office components.
Prior to the nine-acre park opening Memorial Day weekend in 2011,[4] Capitol South and CDDC requested proposals for developing the residential and retail component on the west side of the park, now named Columbus Commons. The first round failed to produce a developer willing to meet required design specifications, including red brick exterior, classical design and maintaining dense retail storefronts on High Street. Following a second round of proposals in mid-2011, CDDC and Capitol South selected Atlanta developer Carter as their partner.
Construction
Atlanta-based Carter announced in 2012 that it would partner with local Columbus Ohio commercial real estate firm The Robert Weiler Company on the project; construction began in August 2012.
The two six-story buildings will include studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. There are 98 units in the north building and 203 units in the south building. Amenities include a resident clubroom, 24-hour athletic facility, pool and outdoor courtyard with BBQ area, complimentary Wi-Fi in common/amenity areas and underground parking.
Residential partner Village Green, a property management services company, began leasing efforts in April 2013.[5] The Robert Weiler Company[6] and Jeffrey R. Anderson Real Estate, Inc.[7] are both part of the retail leasing team. Moody Nolan[8] is the architect and Brasfield Gorrie[9] is the contractor.
The first residents are expected to move into Highpoint on Columbus Commons in October 2013 with the project fully completed by the first quarter of 2014.
