A large mixed-use project planned for downtown Columbus could bring not just more housing, but also a grocery store to the area. Bluestone Brothers Capital has added 110 apartment units to its large mixed-use development in the Mohawk Market District, and the developer “still plans on trying to land a grocery tenant for the neighborhood,” Columbus Business First reports. Bluestone Brothers’ new proposal for the project increases the mixed-use building from the original 19 floors with 180 apartments to 23 floors with 290 apartments, with that building fronting Rich Street. A five-story commercial building would front 4th Street. The project would include “the entire block bounded by East Rich, South 4th, East Cherry and South Young streets,” according to the article. Stanley Lan, CEO of Bluestone Brothers, said, “[o]ur goal from the beginning has been to enhance the vibrancy of the Mohawk Market District. We are excited about these recent additions to the development.” Lan said the changes to the project are “in line with the city’s desire for vertical density in the new zoning code.” For more, read the full article (subscription may be required).
