“Existing affordable housing in downtown Columbus will get a facelift, thanks to state tax credits. The Commons at Grant, a 100-unit, permanent supportive housing community at 398 S. Grant Ave., will be renovated using a 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit. The apartments were originally built by National Church Residences in 2022 through the 9% LITEC program, according to the developer.”
“The Ohio Housing Finance Agency administers the federal tax credits. Formerly homeless people, veterans and disabled individuals live in the Commons at Grant building. All of the apartments are semi-furnished and residents are provided support programming and services. The renovation will include upgrades to apartment units and common areas, as well as a new roof and new windows."

“Everything from the paint and furniture to the sounds and scents in GreenHouse has been painstakingly hand-selected.
GreenHouse, Kaufman's latest development at 21 W. 2nd Ave. in the Short North, includes the former (and now restored) International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers headquarters and a new seven-story building with 158 apartments, including penthouse units and townhomes, which front Price Avenue.”
“Brett Kaufman, CEO of the development firm Kaufman, said curating a relaxing experience for residents was top of mind. "We wanted to bring a very spa-like, resort respite that was highly focused on nature," Kaufman said. "And I think we did a good job of bringing that to Columbus. "Live plants and greenery walls cover the apartment complex. And the spa area features Himalayan salt tiles on the walls and stones on the floor, similar to a tropical resort.”
