Colin’s Coffee is located at 3714 Riverside, in Upper Arlington’s Golden Bear Center.

The plaza has been a redevelopment project in the works for several years, and now it appears the project will be moving forward. Yesterday, Arcadia Development announced it had completed the land acquisition for the redevelopment. Arcadia said that demolition, and later new construction, for the project will begin soon.

Located at the corner of Fischinger Boulevard and Riverside Drive, Golden Bear at Riverside will bring a mixed-use development complete with upscale apartments, businesses and dining to the area.
