Introduction to Area Commissions and the role they play in the City of Columbus

As of January 2026, the Civic Association became aware from an article published Business First Article that housing was to be developed on this long-time vacant property on the corner of East Broad and South Gould.  Per the article, the following is proposed: “Finance Fund wants to build a four-story, 23-unit building on a grassy, vacant lot at the southeast corner of East Broad Street and South Gould Road across from Panera, plans submitted to the city show. Called the Broad & Gould Condominiums, the project would include 15 two-bedroom units and 8 three-bedroom units in addition to a ground-floor fitness room and community room.”

Further investigation revealed that the project is being developed by the Central Ohio Community Land Trust (COCLT). More information about the organization and its mission can be found on their website at www.coclt.org.

The homes in this development will be sold as condominiums, meaning they are intended for homeownership rather than rental. In City records, the building may be listed as an “apartment.” This is because, for building permit purposes, any multifamily structure with shared hallways is classified as an apartment building. This designation refers only to the building type and does not indicate whether the units will be rented or owned.

At this time, the Central Eastmoor Civic Association is unable to answer any questions regarding this property and refers any neighbors with questions to the developer’s website linked here:
