THE
ARENA DISTRICT: CONNECTIVITY IS KEY TO
COLUMBUS’ DOWNTOWN
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Jim
Davidson, president and C.E.O. of Schottenstein Zox & Dunn, has said
residential units were a strong attraction to the large Columbus law firm,
which relocated to the Arena District from downtown’s Statehouse Square.
He
believes the urban apartments will play an important role in “attracting and
retaining talent.”
It’s
a sentiment that was shared by American Electric Power (AEP), another tenant in
the Arena District.
Joe
Hamrock, AEP's Vice President of Corporate Services at the time, saw the
ability to live, work and play in the Arena District as a powerful tool for
recruiting employees and retaining veterans.
“We’re excited to see the
Arena Crossing apartments... and to know that this area is spurring further
development in other parts of the downtown market,” Columbus Mayor Coleman
said.
Case Study continues tomorrow -- June 22
