Ten central Ohio developments to note in 2024

High interest rates, labor shortages, material costs and remote work have put a lid on some central Ohio developments, but there's still plenty of projects underway that could shape the region's landscape for years to come. East side, west side and all around the town, here are 10 projects to keep an eye on in 2024.

The Merchant Building

What's happening: After years of discussion and preparation (including months spent removing unidentified graves from the site), work is finally underway on the 32-story "Merchant Building" development on the parking lot of Downtown's North Market. When done, the $350 million project is expected to include a 212-room hotel with event space, 172 residences, 68,000 square feet of offices, a 353-space parking deck, multiple restaurants, bars and an expansion of the North Market itself.
