COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A fourth apartment building will soon be added to a development near the main branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.

The Pizzuti Companies recently had plans approved by the Downtown Commission for the next phase of Library Park, which has residences at 50 S. Grant Ave., 66 S. Grant Ave. and 409 Oak St. Earlier plans for the phase were submitted to the commission in 2022. They include the removal of a two-story apartment building for the construction of a seven-story, 160,000-square-foot building on South Ninth Street.

Included will be 149 units, a 30-space parking garage, an amenity deck, co-working space and more. The proposal indicates that construction will be done on the existing Library Park buildings.

The earlier phases of the development feature nearly 300 units. With the fourth phase, the apartments near Topiary Park will top 400.

Demolition on the two-story building will replace is set for later this year, a representative from Pizzuti said.
