Apartments for homeless to be built in this Columbus neighborhood

Rendering by Berardi + Partners

Columbus is taking a page out of Los Angeles’ book in an initiative to provide housing for the unhoused here in town.

A 103-unit, five-story building called the Whitechapel Development will officially be built in Franklinton to provide to house homeless people. The new apartment building at 640 W. Town St. was originally proposed several years ago, but the East Franklinton Review Board approved of the building in December.

Arch City Development and Bianchi Development Company are in charge of the project, and they’ll be partnering with local non-profit organizations to place unsheltered individuals in the apartments.

Work on this project could start as early as this spring.
