Grandview Yard Update


Grandview Yard is located just west of downtown Columbus. The site was home to several warehouses and corporate offices for Big Bear – a large regional grocery player headquartered in Columbus for almost 75 years. In 2004, Penn Traffic, the owner of Big Bear since 1989, closed all stores and exited the Columbus market. Grandview Heights – a bedroom community known for its neighborhoods and lively “downtown” Main Street lost quite a bit of tax revenue when Big Bear and its corporate jobs left Columbus. After years of planning – Grandview Yard is rising in its place.

Grandview Yard will be a mixed use development and will include a minimum of 1.5 million square feet of retail and office space and 600 – 800 residential units on approximately 80 acres. Tenants that have committed to Phase 1 of the project include Urban Active Fitness, Hyatt Place Hotel, Jason’s Deli, M+A Architects as well as the Buckeye Hall of Fame Grill – a new restaurant concept licensed through The Ohio State University.

Nationwide Realty Investors and Capital Square Ltd have joint ventured to develop the private, $500 million development that is slated to open September 1st of this year.  MSI Design provided master planning for the entire 80 acre site.
