There's something special about putting down roots in a place that already has so much history. 🚒❤️

Since 2017, Engine House 12 in Olde Towne East has been ours to steward, and we couldn't be more proud of what’s happening inside this historic building. After a full restoration, these walls now house our office alongside the Columbus office of and the incredible . Together we’re breathing new life into a landmark that's been a cornerstone of this neighborhood for over a century.

And that flag we’re flying? It's not just décor, it's a declaration. We're proud to be invested in this community, and proud to help carry the story of OTE forward. Here’s to the past, present and future!

When we redeveloped Engine House #12, an incredible historic firehouse in , we envisioned bringing tenants to the building who would support and encourage the budding sense of community in the up-and-coming neighborhood. It has been an absolute pleasure working with , watching them thrive in this space and become the community meeting place we hoped they would be!

You’ve heard it before: location, location, location. But for a commercial tenant, it’s more than just a slogan - it’s strategy.

A great location can mean:
🚶🏻‍♀️ Stronger foot traffic
👀 Built-in visibility
🚗 Easier access for customers + employees
💪 A supportive ecosystem of nearby businesses

That’s why we focus on revitalizing properties in walkable, well-connected Central Ohio neighborhoods. When our tenants succeed, the entire community grows stronger - and that’s the impact we’re here for. 💚

Looking for a space that helps your business shine? Let’s talk.

This week we’re celebrating 8 years with Ugly Tuna Saloona anchoring our property on Chittenden Ave in the heart of OSU’s campus 🏈🍺

When we renovated this historic mixed-use campus property, we made necessary updates and restored original features like hardwood floors and exposed brick. We hoped to contribute to the campus atmosphere and create a space students and locals could enjoy. From game days to study breaks to catching up with friends, cheers to for making this a go-to spot for the campus community!

New roof, who dis? 😄

This new metal panel roof at 1170 Old Henderson Road might not be the most thrilling project we’ll post, but it’s an important long-term investment.

It’s the kind of upgrade you hope no one ever notices - because it means our tenants and their businesses are safe and protected for years to come.

Flashy projects get attention. Preventative ones show how seriously we take caring for our buildings and the people inside them.

Boring content. Excellent ownership. 💪

Why does local ownership matter? Because every project we take on is personal.

Local ownership means we have office happy hours on the patio , and we stop by for lunch anytime we’re downtown. It means knowing our tenants by name, showing up personally when something needs attention, and making decisions that prioritize long-term value over short-term gain.

There’s a difference between owning property and stewarding a place. We’re grateful for the opportunity to invest in our own community, and proud to call Columbus home!

Proud moment for our team. ✨

Last year, we shared our plans to pursue significant efficiency and operational upgrades to our 22,000 sq ft. multi-tenant medical office building at 1000 E. Broad St. Thanks to our partnership with Columbus-Franklin County Finance Authority and their Commercial PACE financing program, those improvements are almost complete.

We’re honored to be recognized in CFCFA's 2025 Annual Report alongside so many impactful local businesses.

Partnerships like this reflect our long-term commitment to responsible property management, supporting local businesses, and improving the built environment in our community. We’re grateful for CFCFA and programs like theirs that make responsible, forward-thinking investment possible. ♻️

You’ll never guess what this historic firehouse became… 👀🔥 Swipe to see it 125+ years later!

Built in 1896, Engine House 12 was one of Columbus’ original horse-drawn fire stations. This Olde Towne East landmark now serves the community as - a gathering place full of history, warmth, and neighborhood connection.

Spaces like this remind us why historic revitalization matters - great buildings deserve second (or third, or fourth) acts. We love helping preserve the character of Olde Towne East while supporting the local businesses that bring these walls to life.

Proof that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. ❤️
