COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The real estate arm of Ohio State University plans a major redevelopment of the neighborhood east of the Columbus campus.
Campus Partners says the project will add a public square, hotel, parking garage and blocks of shops and apartments. The sweeping plan would replace or expand dozens of buildings from 14th to 17th avenues along High Street and just east of Pearl Street.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1avS5UF ) reports that more than 9 acres of land would be redeveloped, about 2 acres more than the South Campus Gateway development that Campus Partners led a decade ago.
Campus Partners, created in 1995 to help improve the university district, asked the city Friday for zoning changes that would allow the project to start.
