Columbus, OH – September 8, 2021 – After many months developing plans and coordinating with stakeholders amid pandemic conditions, Rockbridge announced new details of the plan for the North Market Mixed-Use Development originally revealed in 2019. This marks a significant next step in bringing the project’s transformational vision to life – and highlights the commitment, perseverance and collaboration of the development team, North Market and the City of Columbus.
Rockbridge is working to finalize the plan and secure ongoing support for the proposed 31-story development, which will be reviewed by the Downtown Commission and Historic Resources Commission in coming weeks. According to Rockbridge, the spirit of the North Market and its merchants are the primary source of inspiration for this project, as they have represented merging of cultures, entrepreneurial drive and a sense of promise and possibility for over 140 years. These core principles are embodied in the design and will be foundational in the naming and branding of the project, which Rockbridge expects to reveal in the coming months.
The strong collaboration between Rockbridge, North Market, and the City of Columbus, with key support from Franklin County and the State of Ohio, has crafted a plan that upon completion will ensure the preservation of the North Market’s treasured facilities and character by providing long-term stable income and significant expansion space to further its mission and impact. As part of the proposal, the project also establishes sources of funding to support future needs of the North Market – constituting an innovative, public-private plan that addresses many of the priorities of our City’s growth agenda.
