Properties near the site of the former Schottenstein’s department store have been purchased by the City of Columbus over the past 5 years since the Parsons Avenue Vision Plan called for redevelopment of key properties along Parsons Avenue. Demolition of existing structures was completed in 2010.
Currently, redevelopment plans are being formulated for the entire site bounded by Innis Avenue on the north, Barthman Street on the south, Washington Avenue on the west and Parsons Avenue on the east. The first structure to be built located in the southeast quadrant of the site is the Maloney Health Center, one of a network of Neighborhood Health Centers owned by the City of Columbus.
