Heartland Bank is fleshing out details of its new headquarters campus in Whitehall.

 

The 13-branch community bank has named Ruscilli Construction Co. Inc. as general contractor for the roughly $10 million project (including furniture and equipment), a planned move from its longtime headquarters in Gahanna that was first made public in March.

Work to Start on 20-Acre Mixed-Use Development in Whitehall

 

A construction kickoff event is scheduled today at the southwest corner of East Broad Street and Hamilton Road in Whitehall. City officials and representatives of the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corporation and the Ohio Housing Finance Agency will be on hand to celebrate the start of work on a 20-acre mixed-use development.

 

The project, which was announced last fall, will feature 360 residential units as well as a restaurant, community center, multiple office buildings, and a large central green space. It will replace an aging apartment complex called the Commons at Royal Landing.

Photo slideshow of Wasserstrom Co's 50,000-square-foot headquarters in Whitehall.  Wasserstrom left its Brewery District HQ of the past 50 years and renovated an 80's era office building at 4500 E. Broad Street as its new headquarters.  They still own their former Brewery District location south of downtown and are pursuing adaptive reuse of those historic buildings - https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2017/12/22/developer-eager-to-turn-wasserstrom-property-in.html.

 

The new Whitehall location allowed the company to expand to 225 employees.  Below is the link to the Business First slideshow showing the renovated Wasserstrom office interior in Whitehall:

City of Whitehall Announces First Dog Park

 

The City of Whitehall has unveiled plans to create the city’s first dog park at the site of a previously empty lot at the corner of Beechwood Road and Lamby Lane.

 

“Over a decade ago, the former house on this property was vacant, abandoned and ultimately demolished,” said Whitehall Mayor Kim Maggard. “Subsequently, the lot has sat empty and been mowed at the city’s expense. With the idea of adding to our parks system in mind, the city has worked to acquire the 2.3-acre site over the past two years.”

Two new housing developments approved for Whitehall

 

Homeport's investment in Whitehall could grow this year with two more developments.

 

Whitehall City Council recently approved the developments that would add 134 units and bring the affordable housing developer to nearly 200 housing units there.

 

The four-story, 102-unit workforce apartment project and a 32-unit apartment building are planned for Etna Road, east of its intersection with Hamilton Road. The target renter is 55 years and older.

That's the first time I've seen the phrase "workforce apartment complex."  Is that just intended to be contrasted with the "senior" apartment complex on the previous slide?  And maybe also with student apartment complexes?  Like, is workforce just everything between student and senior?  Or is it more specific than that?

It's a term meant to describe the level of affordability of the housing units. It's a fairly common term.

There's been a good bit of good development in Whitehall lately.  However, one project - a new 105,000 square foot Kroger at the Town and Country Shopping Center - has been delayed.  But it is still in the works, according to Whitehall and Kroger officials.

 

Bigger, better Kroger store still on shelf in Whitehall

 

It’s been more than two years since Kroger purchased a former Big Bear grocery store at the Town and Country Shopping Center in Whitehall, but the city has only a vacant lot to show for it.  In February 2017, Kroger purchased the former Big Bear on the north side of East Broad Street at the western end of the shopping center.  Kroger bought the 8.2-acre site at 3680 E. Broad Street for $4.2 million.  The former Big Bear store had been vacant since 2004.

 

It was demolished in late 2017 -- however, the lot remains vacant today, leaving some Whitehall residents wondering when they’ll see the new Kroger store promised by the company. ... Kroger is expected to invest about $24 million in the project to build a new, 105,000-square-foot store at Town and Country.  Kroger currently operates a 65,000-square-foot store at 3675 E. Broad Street, across the street from Town and Country - which the company leases from Plaza Properties.

 

Kroger leaders, however, say a new store is still in the works.  “We have purchased the property and have completed demolition,” said Amy McCormick, corporate affairs manager for the Kroger Co.  “However, the project timeline is continuing to evolve.”  A tax-increment-financing agreement Whitehall approved to entice Kroger to relocate its current store from the south side of East Broad Street to Town and Country remains in play.

 

The 15-year, 53% TIF agreement Whitehall City Council approved in 2016 for Kroger was amended, extending the deadline to begin construction from the end of 2018 to the end of 2021, said Whitehall Development Director Zach Woodruff.  Woodruff said April 16 that, “we remain in contact with Kroger on their timeline”, including extending the term of the TIF agreement when the company informed the city construction would be delayed. ... The tax deal would commence on completion of construction.

The recently released Corridor Concepts study takes a deep dive into the impact that building dense development and better transit along five major corridors could have on the region.  One of those corridors - East Main Street - runs directly through Whitehall, a suburb of about 19,000 people located six miles east of Downtown Columbus.

 

Incorporated in 1947, and largely built in the 1950s and 1960s, the suburb has been working in recent years to plan for and build the type of denser, mixed-use development that the corridor study recommends.  Columbus Underground recently sat down with Kim Maggard, the Mayor of Whitehall, and Zach Woodruff, the city’s Economic Development Director, to talk about those efforts and more (at the article link above).

Developer Selected for 50-Acre Whitehall Development

 

A developer is now in place to shepherd a major mixed-use project at the northeast corner of Hamilton Road and East Broad Street.

 

The City of Whitehall announced today that Florida-based NR Investments has been chosen to develop the 50-acre site, which is comprised of the former Woodcliff Condos as well as a portion of the former Four Seasons Golf Center at 5000 E. Broad St.

 

Zach Woodruff, the city’s Economic Development Director, said that the site could eventually accommodate between 600 and 1,000 residents and over 200,00 square feet of commercial space.

 

Tasked with creating a master plan for the development will be DPZ (also Florida-based), the planning firm best known for pioneering the concept of New Urbanism.

Way too much space dedicated for surface lot parking, but at least they hid it in the middle and lined the streets with the buildings. Not half bad for the location.

More about this Broad & Hamilton development.  It's at the northeast corner of East Broad Street and North Hamilton Road and would be 140 acres at final build-out.  Phase 1 is a 50-acre property to be developed by Miami-based N.R. Investments that would include office, retail and 276 mixed-income residential units.  Whitehall city policy mandates 20% be workforce housing, affordable to up to 80% of the area median income.

 

The overall 140-acre Broad & Hamilton development plan would be developed in three phases over 8-10 years.  At final build-out it would include 250,000 square feet of office space, 75,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, and 1,000 residential units.  Also included is a central gathering space which might include a waterfront amphitheater along Big Walnut Creek as the development blends into Whitehall Community Park.

Actually looks pretty good, not sure I like the green space at the corner, but overall it is pretty dense. It is great to see another out of town developer getting into the Columbus area as well.

I agree. For a suburb, this is really not bad at all. The housing density alone will be over 4,000 units per square mile(1,000 units in 140 acres) and that 140 acres includes the office space, retail, and parkland. This is really pretty good infill within the urban area footprint(given this is Cbus and car-centric and all). Now if we could only get some things like this in other parts of the area(including in the "uncool crescent" below 70). 

This is at the edge of Whitehall, not the center as the article states. So the old Bill Swad Apartment Complex comes down plus the Golf Dome which I think was used more for R/C airplanes than for golf before it got damaged by a storm.

So they are going to tear down that existing neighborhood that shows as "Woodcliff" on Google maps?  Dang. 

Bill Swad was a big wheel in this part of town. He owned the Chevrolet dealership on Hamilton, had a church in the southern part of Gahanna west of Hamilton and owned the apartments that are now in bad shape. It looks like that after he sold them that the apartments were sold as condos for cheap then poorly maintained.

Whitehall Pushing for Density at Broad and Hamilton

 

so great news on this development. The city pushed for almost double the original units and wants more density. The article also mentions that if the future calls for it, they can add even more density by turning the parking lots into parking garages. Pretty crazy Whitehall is making better density decisions than many of the surrounding areas.

Are they cutting the office portion down to get more residential or are they just adding more residential? It looks like they have the right attitude in Whitehall anyways.

Pretty sure it’s just adding more residential. 

I'm hoping that they eventually go even harder on density than the 1000 eventual planned units as they mentioned could be possible.  Even at 1000, that's just 20 units an acre.  That said, it's definitely an improvement and a good step in the right direction.  Now if only they start remaking their main corridors, which are awful.

"The city of Whitehall has partnered with Rockford Homes to build seven homes in the city that will sell for less than $240,000, part of a broader initiative to provide affordable housing in the community. The seven homes will be built on vacant lots owned by the county's land bank, the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corporation (COCIC). City officials and others will launch the program Tuesday afternoon on one of the lots, at 909 Harbinger Circle West, near East Main Street and South Hamilton Road. ... While $240,000 is well below the median of $397,500 for a new home in the Columbus market, it is substantially above the $156,000 median price of existing Whitehall homes sold so far this year. Home prices in Whitehall, however, have risen at a far greater pace than the regional average for several years. So far this year, the median sales price of a Whitehall home is up 24.7%, compared with 13.1% for Greater Columbus overall, according to Columbus Realtors figures."

That just means more and more housing units are unaffordable. So far according to that article housing prices in Whitehall have gone up over 24 percent this year along with over 13 percent for Greater Columbus in general. Have wages risen that much?

Yes, that doesn’t make this price affordable. That just means everything in the city is not affordable. 

Replying to you both, I still think it’s affordable for a lot more people than most existing homes right next door in Bexley or Gahanna. Honestly even Eastmoor has similar soft homes priced higher than $240k, if you can find one.

At the lower end of the scale the move-in-ready premium is huge and is why Whitehall went up 25% while the rest of the metro went up 13%.

I was out on Hamilton Rd at Broad yesterday.  I can't wait til they get all those apartments buildings tore down.  It will really breathe some fresh air into that corner.  Any idea when they're going to start knocking all those down? 

On 10/18/2021 at 12:52 PM, VintageLife said:

Yeah $240,000 isn’t even close to affordable. 

“Once built, the homes will be sold under the market value through the Central Ohio Community Land Trust, COCIC's subsidiary, according to the release. Based on the buyer's income eligibility, the Land Trust offers up to $50,000 to further lower the list price on the home.

 

According to the release, the land trust will continue to own the land, while the homebuyer grows equity on the home. Because the trust owns the land, it can help keep the home affordable for future buyers.”

Demolition to start soon for major Whitehall redevelopment

 

"Demolition is expected to begin in a few months to prepare for the long-awaited "transformational" redevelopment of the eastern entrance to Whitehall.

 

The 50-acre site on the northeast corner of East Broad Street and Hamilton Road has sat unused for three years, following the city's acquisition of the 54 Woodcliff condominium buildings on the site, along with the former Four Seasons Golf Center next door. 

 

The city plans to demolish the buildings, which once housed 317 condominiums, to make way for a $250 million mixed-use development that could dramatically reshape the community.

 

We plan to go straight into vertical construction after demolition, in mid- to late-summer," said NR Investments Chief Operating Officer Terry Wellons."

“An outdoor street hockey rink is coming soon to the city of Whitehall.

 

The Columbus Blue Jackets is awarding Whitehall, Ohio with a $250,000 grant to construct a community street hockey rink, the team said in a news release Thursday. Construction will begin in early summer, and the rink is expected to be completed by fall.

 

The grant will also be used toward developing sports programming, like Try Hockey for Free clinics, staff training and equipment in Whitehall, according to the release.

 

Through the partnership, the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation said it will work with the city to offer free education resources to address STEM learning and academic achievement.”

Looks like the Woodcliff condo buildings at Broad & Hamilton should (finally!) be coming down soon!

 

Crews were at the site earlier today clearing all the felled trees that were littering the property.

The 1000-plus residential units planned for this site will be a huge shot in the arm for this part of Whitehall.

The new development coming to Broad and Hamilton will be huge for Whitehall.  The site will not only include the former Woodcliff complex but also the former Four Seasons Golf Center a little further east down Broad.

 

An article from a couple months ago in The Dispatch highlights how much this will transform that area:

 

 

"The plan that emerged calls for residences, shops, restaurants and offices laid out with boulevards and multiple outdoor gathering spots.

 

The 50-acre site will feature an outdoor amphitheater as well as green space and ponds that blend into the 80-acre Whitehall Community Park next door. 

 

"We plan to go straight into vertical construction after demolition, in mid- to late-summer," said NR Investments Chief Operating Officer Terry Wellons.

 

In addition, $10 million in street improvements are planned for the Broad and Hamilton intersection that will include street widening, bike lanes, new lighting and new crosswalks. That work is planned for next year."

hopefully this means we will see all 54 Woodcliff condo buildings come down soon!

May I suggest a profile pic for CbusOrBust?
