URBAN REDEVELOPMENT VIA SPORTS ARENA -- CASE STUDY -- PART 12


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
