A revised plan for the Estrella, a proposed mixed-use development on East Rich Street in downtown Columbus, is scheduled for a conceptual review by the Downtown Commission on Oct. 27. The latest design, submitted by Columbus-based developer Bluestone Brothers, calls for a 25-story building with 296 residential units, a 327-space parking garage and nearly 30,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor. The commission’s review will not include a vote. The project is proposed for 175-199 E. Rich St. Its ground-floor space is described in the city application as a market intended to offer residents and the surrounding neighborhood access to goods and services. The tower has grown through several design revisions. It was first proposed in 2023 as a 19-story building, then advanced as a 23-story, 290-unit project on an expanded site. That version would have required demolishing existing buildings on South Fourth Street and was dropped after the commission responded negatively. When the project returned to the commission in January, it was 24 stories with 252 units. The development received state Transformational Mixed-Use Development tax credits in early 2025, but updates have been limited since then. Uncertainty around the project has come amid rising construction costs and the cancellation of another tax-credit-supported downtown development, Capitol Square Renaissance, led by Edwards Companies. Berardi + Partners has designed the project since its initial proposal. The commission’s October review is an opportunity for members to provide feedback on the new design, but it will not determine whether construction moves forward.
