Revival of Downtown Columbus, Ohio Retail Space

Columbus City Center – or City Center – was the nucleus for Central Ohio’s shoppers. If you were purchasing a gift or buying a new pair of pants in the 1990s and early 2000s, you were likely headed to City Center. After all, City Center has the most sought-after retail locations for rent on the map. However, the allure of this shopping haven was replaced with new destinations in the suburbs. Developers simply disregarded Columbus as a place to build new shopping malls. For many years, neglect wore on the City Center, and residents and developers alike forgot about it. Fortunately, the heart of Downtown Columbus beats again with all of the recent renovations – especially when it comes to the available retail space for rent Columbus, Ohio has to offer.
