PLANNED EAST END DEVELOPMENT
The development will be anchored by an event center and supported by a mix of retail, food and beverage, entertainment, hospitality, office and residential tenants.
EVENT CENTER
The event center includes three linked but separate playing and performance surfaces and areas. The largest venue is located on the north end of the complex and will have 3,000 fixed seats surrounding an 85x200 foot playing surface. Two more playing surfaces with 250 seats each will be built.
HOTELS
One major hotel is located directly east of the event center and is connected by a ground level connector. The hotel is planned with a ground floor lobby and restaurant level and then four floors of hotel rooms above.
A second hotel is planned across the street and directly to the north.
OFFICE
An office building, most likely a medical office building, is planned across the parking lot and to the south of first hotel. It has been located so that it can be a standalone building, or it can be directly attached to the Event Center at grade level.
The connection is most likely to happen if a sports performance or orthopedic use is developed as a part of the medical office building.
RETAIL/ RESTAURANTS/ ENTERTAINMENT
Most of the retail uses planned for the site are along the frontage of Ohio 122. At the northwest comer of the site, a larger, high level, convenience store with gas is being planned. To the east of the store and to the east and west of the Event Promenade entry drive, smaller floorplates or “pad” sites, are planned for“fast casual” restaurants.
The largest retail or restaurant floorplates and uses are shown on the east and west sides of the Event Promenade. Most likely, these may be tall one-story buildings, but depending on the restaurant or retail concept, they could be more than one story. The master plan indicates three of these large retail or restaurant buildings.
APARTMENTS/MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL
Class A apartments and multi-family residential uses have been planned for the west side of the site. The largest building is located to the west of the Event Center, and four stories of units are planned above the ground level retail/restaurant uses. Two other apartment buildings are planned to the west and southwest of the larger central apartment building. The apartments are organized so that tenants can use adjacent surface parking lots, or they can use interior parking provided at a basement/garden level, directly below the floorplate of the apartment buildings.
TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL
Townhouse residential use is planned for the southeast portion of the site, allowing the lowest height, and the least dense site use to be adjacent to the existing single-family homes. These townhomes will further enhance the village-oriented vision of the master plan.
