COLUMBUS—Co-developers Steiner + Associates, The Georgetown Company and Limited Brands have just broken ground on Easton Gateway, a 54-acre addition to Easton Town Center.
Nearly 15 years after Easton Town Center opened, the developers will make a number of additions to this master-planned community. Costco opened a new 150,000-square-foot outlet in September 2013 on a 17-acre site it purchased. Other new tenants moving in include REI, scheduled to open May 2014; Saks Off 5th, which will open a 28,000-square-foot store in May 2014; Dick's Sporting Goods will open an 80,000-square-foot store in July 2014; and a 45,000-square-foot Whole Foods, set to open in May 2015. Field & Stream will also open a 50,000-square-foot store, its first Ohio location.
“Easton Gateway is poised to both contribute to, and benefit from, Easton Town Center's extraordinary drawing power,” said The Georgetown Company President Adam Flatto. “With more than 30 million annual visitors and established prominence as one of the nation's most recognizable and admired mixed-use destinations, Easton Town Center is both the dominant retail destination and the premier leisure time location in the region.”
Located on the northeast side of Easton Town Center, bounded by Morse Rd. to the north and I-270 to the east, the new development will include a number of infrastructure upgrades to the area. Easton Gateway will feature new traffic lights and a number of new pedestrian areas. The trolley system will also get extended and include stops throughout the addition.
“Easton Town Center's signature middle-America theme has always been a complement to the density and connectivity of the built environment, conveying the sense of a vibrant downtown that has evolved naturally over time,” said Steiner + Associates Senior Executive VP of Real Estate Anne Mastin. “While Easton Gateway is spatially distinctive and organized for convenience and accessibility, the project reflects many of the same thoughtful architectural details and innovative design elements that give Easton Town Center its familiar brick-and-mortar appeal.”
