On the northeastern edge of Columbus, Ohio’s fastest

On the northeastern edge of Columbus, Ohio’s fastest growing metropolitan area, the new town of Easton is taking shape. While this 1,200-acre planned, mixed-use community is dominated by office buildings, parking lots, and a conventional strip mall, the 35-acre Easton Town Center, a hybrid entertainment and retail center, creates walkable public space on its streets and central plaza. Mid-rise buildings are set to the sidewalk and parking is available on the street, in garages, and behind buildings. The 750,000 square foot project is designed by John Clark of the Development Design Group in Baltimore, Maryland. The first phase opened in June 1999.
