THE
ARENA DISTRICT: CONNECTIVITY IS KEY TO
COLUMBUS’ DOWNTOWN
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Arena
District apartment and condo dwellers are within short walking distance of many
of the items they need for day-to-day living.
Some
of these services can be found directly within the District.
Other
services are just a short walk the North Market, a cosmopolitan farmer’s market
that also has gourmet and prepared foods.
The
Short North, with its galleries, restaurants, décor shops and eclectic
boutiques, also is adjacent to Arena Crossing.
Ellis
said the connectivity is key.
The
physical edges of the District blend into the surrounding neighborhoods
seamlessly.
As
more residents move into the Arena District, the River District to the
immediate west and other adjacent areas, more retail will follow, benefiting
residents and shopkeepers.
Arena
Crossing residents are an integral part of the growth and success of the Arena
District.
In
the words of Ellis, they are the “locals”, the ones who will transform the
district into a 24-hour-a-day neighborhood.
Case Study continues tomorrow -- June 24
