PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Development projects continued to make progress in the second quarter. In conjunction with governmental agencies and local partners, the Partnership maintains focus on transformational projects that will have lasting impacts on the Columbus Region.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATES OSU Innovation District
Visible progress can be seen at the corner of Lane Avenue and Kenny Road as The Ohio State University continues to build its Interdisciplinary Research Facility. Co-located in the new facility will be the Energy Advancement & Innovation Center which will focus on smart energy systems, renewable energy and green mobility solutions. The Partnership continues to assist OSU in partnering with the City of Columbus, JobsOhio and other potential funders to ensure public infrastructure is available to complement this once-ina-generation development.
Scioto Peninsula
Community leaders came together for a unique virtual groundbreaking of the mixed-use development, The Peninsula. The 26-acre site will feature a 240,000 square feet office building, an 8-story, 400-room hotel by Rockbridge and two buildings of residential units, including workforce housing. Upon complete buildout, The Peninsula will serve as one of Columbus’ signature neighborhoods and feature 2 million square feet of office, 1,800 residential units, 200,000 square feet of retail and 400 hotel rooms.
