Representatives from The Pizzuti Companies announced today that their new mixed-use development — planned at the intersection of First Avenue and High Street — has officially begun pre-leasing activity after receiving necessary approvals from the Victorian Village Commission.
Once built, the project will feature two buildings: a four-story structure on High Street containing 45,000 square feet of office space and 12,000 square feet of retail, and a six-story structure on 40 W. First Ave. with approximately 110-120 residential units. Both buildings will include structured parking.
“The mix of first-class office space, luxury apartments and a combination of top national and local retailers will make the new development at First Avenue and High Street a premier place to live and work in Columbus,” said Joel Pizzuti, president of The Pizzuti Companies. “Its location, in the heart of the Short North Arts District, is second-to-none and will further enhance the neighborhood’s reputation as a leading destination in the Midwest.”
The new development will replace the existing single-story building that currently houses popular home decor retailer Grandview Mercantile, which is scheduled to relocate to a new space this fall. Construction on the site is currently slated to begin sometime in late 2017.
