For-sale, for-rent residences, new retail proposed at Emerald Parkway and Dublin Road
The Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 6 is to consider a proposal for a mixed-use development on almost 29 acres on the south side of Interstate 270 and west of Dublin Road.
Columbus developer Thrive Companies is proposing the mixed-use development that is to include office space, residential units and retail uses.
The site is east of OCLC, on the opposite of I-270 from Cardinal Health, and about 400 feet southwest of Emerald Parkway and Dublin Road.
The 28.6-acre site is to consist of approximately 100 for-sale residential units, 715 for-rent residential units and 200,000 square feet of office space, green space and associated site improvements, according to Christopher Will, a city planner for Dublin.
According to the application to the planning and zoning commission, the applicant is Steve Bollinger, the principal and executive vice president of development for Thrive Companies. The application was filed Sept. 8.
The planning and zoning commission is to hear an informal review and provide feedback on the proposal at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 6 at council chambers at Dublin City Hall, 5555 Perimeter Drive. It is called Cardinal South on the application.
According to an applicant statement submitted by Bollinger with the application, “Cardinal Health and Thrive Companies have entered into contract on +/-28 acres along 270 and near the Indian Run neighborhood and the current Cardinal Health Corporate campus.”
The applicant statement references the history of the Wagenbrenner real estate company as the creator of “prospering communities” for the past three generations, but that the transformation of the development world led to “the necessity for Wagenbrenner Development to evolve into Thrive Companies became apparent.”
“As Thrive Companies, we push the boundaries of mixed-use urban development, providing our clients with high quality homes in well-planned, stimulating communities within some of Columbus’s most popular neighborhoods,” Bollinger wrote in the applicant statement.
The 28-acre site is to house for-sale, for-rent, office and potentially a small retail component that Thrive has brought in-house with a public gym, The Athletic and a café/bar, Bada Bean Bada Booze, according to the statement.
The site is to house +/-100 for-sale units with a mix of townhomes and flats of 3-4 stories, +/-715 apartments with both walk-up and corridor units of 4-5 stories and then +/-200,000 square feet of office space that is to be 3-4 stories, according to the applicant statement.
The 28.6-acre site is zoned BSD-IRN ‒ or Bridge Street District-Indian Run Neighborhood ‒ and would not require rezoning for the proposed application to advance, according to Aisling Babbitt, public affairs officer for Dublin.
“A multiyear planning process ,which engaged stakeholders and the community, crafted a vision for a vibrant and walkable center of the city, with a dynamic mix of land uses and housing. To implement this vision and guide future development, Dublin created a hybrid form-based development code for the Bridge Street District,” Babbitt said.

The Oct. 6 informal review before the planning and zoning commission is an optional step meant to provide an applicant with feedback at the formative stage of a proposed development, after which, a concept plan is submitted to the commission for formal consideration, Will said.
After the required concept plan, consideration and approval of a preliminary development plan and then a final development plan would follow.
