M/I to kick off construction on Powell neighborhood with nearly 400 homes

POWELL, Ohio (WCMH) — Construction is set to begin this spring on a new sprawling central Ohio neighborhood built by M/I Homes.

The Columbus area’s largest homebuilder, M/I will begin constructing the “Clarkshaw Crossing” neighborhood in Powell, located along Sawmill Parkway and between Hyatts Road and Clark-Shaw Road. The new community is set to include nearly 400 two-story townhomes and single-family homes.


“We are thrilled to officially open sales for Clarkshaw Crossing,” said Tim Hall, M/I’s central Ohio division president, in a release. “Our goal is to provide beautiful homes that meet the needs of homebuyers in the best location.”

Clarkshaw’s two-story townhomes are expected to be priced in the upper $300,000s, while prices for the single-family homes will start in the $400,000s. The homes will range from 1,500 to 2,400 square feet, spanning two to four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms. Neighborhood amenities will include a dog park, playground, walking trail and a pond.

M/I’s is readying construction as the homebuilder has proposed a series of other developments across central Ohio. The homebuilder’s planned “Townes at Tuttle” development would feature 148 townhomes on a 21.8-acre site at the southwest corner of Tuttle Crossing Boulevard and Hirth Road. 

However, the proposal received a second round of review in October by Dublin’s planning and zoning commission, where neighboring locals said they are concerned the development would worsen traffic.

Delaware’s planning commission approved last May a proposal to construct the last three of six phases making up Winterbrooke Place, a sprawling subdivision built by M/I Homes, Rockford Homes and Arlington Builders.  Plans call for the development’s final three phases to include 84 lots, increasing the subdivision’s total footprint to about 260 homes.

Winterbrooke’s fourth phase will include 30 lots on seven acres, while the fifth will feature 35 lots on 19 acres and the final phase will include 19 lots on eight acres. Developers have been aiming to complete Winterbrooke since 2019, when the Delaware City Council approved the property’s rezoning for the development.
