For nearly six decades, the City of Grandview Heights, Ohio was home to the nation’s largest refrigerated warehouse, owned by the former Big Bear grocery chain. When these warehouses were shuttered in 2004, the city was left with one million square feet of vacant warehouse space. Although abandoned and deteriorating, the site’s location only minutes away from The Ohio State University and Downtown Columbus enhanced its redevelopment potential.

Sensing opportunity, Nationwide Realty Investors stepped forward to re-imagine this 125-acre brownfield site as a mixed-use urban neighborhood named Grandview Yard, paying homage to its railroad history. MKSK developed the master plan and is leading the implementation of all urban design details for the public and private improvements.
