THE
ARENA DISTRICT: CONNECTIVITY IS KEY TO
COLUMBUS’ DOWNTOWN
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Coleman, the multiterm mayor of Ohio's Capital City, said the
Arena District is a key part of his city's strategic plan to create 10,000 new
downtown housing units in a decade.
“Every new residential
project that breaks ground downtown proves that the market exists and that
developers have confidence to move forward with new projects,” Coleman added.
The
best amenity is being in Columbus’ premier entertainment and dining district.
The
residents of nearly 600 total multifamily units in the Arena District can walk
to work, then meet friends for dinner, drinks, a movie, show or sporting event
– all within footsteps of the urban apartments.
Few
dwelling units -- multifamily or single family -- are located in a mixed use
area in a city that developed with car culture zoning codes that encourage a
wide separation of uses.
Case Study continues tomorrow -- June 23
