COLUMBUS (COLUMBUS BUSINESS FIRST) — The redevelopment of the Schumacher Place Giant Eagle, a project that has earned vocal pushback from its neighbors, has gotten the city’s official sign-off.
Monday night, Columbus City Council granted the developer, Pizutti Cos., a variance allowing for ground-floor townhouse-style residential units on the site and rezoned the property.
The legislation passed by council on Monday permits the construction of a mixed-use building at 280 E. Whittier St., which will contain 8,250-square-feet of retail uses and 262 residential units. The development will also be served by a 262-space garage and 17 on-street parking spaces, in a terraced building that rises 4.5 stories closer to the commercial corridor and 3.5 stories closer to the homes. NBBJ is the architect for the project.
