The project will provide living options close to campus, Short North, and downtown for the OSU upperclassmen, OSU graduate students, and young professionals.
The development will feature fully furnished studio through five-bedroom apartments and will include amenities such as terrace-level courtyard with pool and hot tub, fitness facility, package lockage area and a robust first floor bistro and lounge.
Parallel said that the development’s upscale design elements will comprise Bluetooth showerheads, quartz countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, and fireplaces and smart home automation.
Designed by Rhode Partners, the development involves rezoning from a single-family zoning to five-story multi-family zoning, requiring multiple approvals.
