- Downtown Columbus, Ohio, is being transformed into an intentionally eclectic residential neighbourhood that covers 9 city blocks. Built principally of townhouses and lowrise apartment buildings, this new neighbourhood with tree-lined steets is going in amidst the office highrises and entire blocks of surface parking.
