Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property is an approved development site on a 0.596-acre corner location. Historic Resource Commission approval has been granted for a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition of the existing building and for construction of a 6-story, 106-unit apartment building. Zoning variances to the UCT Urban Center District have also been approved for general requirements, on-site parking, and vision clearance.

The site is located in the Brewery District at the southeast corner of S. Front St. and W. Deshler Ave, bounded by Redbud Alley and S. Wall St. In Columbus Zoning, the Urban Center (UCT) district permits up to 7 stories / 85' maximum height, with a 0' minimum setback, no maximum building coverage, and no minimum parking requirement. A city-wide CRA is described as available with a 20% affordability component that would provide a 15-year 100% tax abatement.

The approvals and zoning allowances support a multi-family redevelopment, and the seller notes the site may be suitable for other mixed-use concepts, including condo, hotel, restaurant, offices, church, private club, or climate-controlled self-storage. The prior improvements include a WWCD Radio use and a former Swiss House concept with an alpine chalet-designed building totaling 9,952 SF (7,464 SF finished), along with a bar and commercial kitchen.
