Grandview Yard - Columbus Suburbs

Dec. 20, 2007

Categorized in: Community

Tagged with: columbus ohio, development, grandview heights, suburb

Grandview Heights is a Columbus suburb northwest of downtown for anyone who is reading this long distance... ie. those relocating buyers that we all live for in real estate... Grandview is one of Columbus earliest suburbs.

Wednesday an exciting new mixed use development projet in Grandview Heights was announced by Nationwide Realty Investors.

Two Columbus Dispatch articles about a proposed development in Grandview Heights a suburb of Columbus bring news of the Grandview Yard development. Both Columbus Dispatch articles are written by Martin Rozenman

'Grandview Yard' development to replace former Big Bear site,

'Plan would transform old Big Bear property'

Proximity to OSU, OSU Hospitals, Battelle and the developing tech corridor along 315 make this 100 acre site inviting for a dense mixed use development proposed by Nationwide Realty Investors. Nationwide Realty Investors did the Arena District development in Columbus. One of the Dispatch articles says Grandview Yard will be similar without a sports theme. There will be 600 to 800 residential units in the development. There will be no "big box" stores, but there will be a mix of shopping, restauarants and residential... No ground breaking until 2009 with the first phase completed in 2010.

Grandview Heights

Nationwide Realty Investors (there is nothing on their site today about the project.)

Local? What do you think is the best suburb in Central Ohio? Best Columbus Suburb Poll

Grandview Heights Video... The title is Grandview and more... The "and more" in the title is Clintonville a Columbus neighborhood. Clintonville and Grandview Heights homes are very similar in housing stock.

Grandview Heights is a very walkable the 2007 pre Grandview Yard... (I believe this video may have been made in 2006.) Walkability... one woman in the Real Living HER video about Grandview talks about she has a three year old car with 3000 miles on it.
