$600M Bridge Park Continues to Transform Dublin Area

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

In Dublin, Ohio, construction continues on a multi-million-dollar mixed-use development known as Bridge Park.

The transformative project, situated in a suburb of Columbus, began in 2015 and was designed to include upscale apartments, condos, restaurants, retail shops, office space, a hotel and an events center.

“Bridge Park is an exciting project, because it has become a model for many developed and future mixed-use developments,” said Jason Hartke, chief operating officer of Brackett Builders. “Bridge Park is located right in the heart of Dublin, 15 minutes north of The Ohio State

University.”

Crawford Hoying is the owner and developer of the walkable, multi-building development, which is currently in phase 10. According to Hartke, the downtown area is an ideal setting for the project.

“Bridge Park attracts an array of visitors from all different backgrounds and age groups. Prior to Bridge Park, the land consisted of a shopping plaza with a golf range and a Planet Fitness.”

Hartke said workers at the job site continue to make progress, as they move one step closer to finishing the project’s latest phase.

“Construction on The Theodore and The Bailey is going as planned. It’s always rewarding to drive by our projects under construction and see them come to life a little more with each passing day.”

The project, however, is not without its share of challenges.

“Each structure within the development is unique,” said Hartke. “No two buildings are the same. The later phases of construction have required close coordination with the occupied phases.”

Right now, construction is centered on G and F blocks.

“In G, there is a four-story for sale residential building, a parking garage and a five-story shell office building under way,” said Hartke. “In F, there’s a six-story residential building.”
