Columbus, GA Proposed/In-Progress/Completed Projects (Macon: marketplace, demographics, Publix)

Those suites would be too small for a Newks wouldn't they? I was thinking on of the outparcels, maybe beside Hardees or in front of Zaxbys?

Does anyone have a good contact with Woodruff or the Lisle Company?

A commercial development that will include a new Keller Williams real-estate office, a corporate headquarters for Childcare Network and a Southern States Bank branch is planned for 6059 Veterans Parkway in north Columbus.

There also will be small strip shopping center on the nearly 5-acre tract, with Dunkin Donuts already interested in the site. The land fronts a four-story office building occupied by Strayer University and North Veterans Executive Center. The entire property, including the current office structure, is just over 12 acres.

Jack Hayes, a broker with KW Commercial and developer of the new project, said a brief ground-breaking event is scheduled for Wednesday morning, with site work starting fully within three weeks and ramping up from there.

“It’s going to be a mixed-use development,” he said. “It’s a unique project in the sense that it’s three companies coming together and saying we all want to be on the site and work together.”

Construction will begin first on the Childcare Network corporate headquarters, which will be toward the back of the property being developed. The 11,000-square-foot building will replace the Columbus-based company’s nearly 9,500-square-foot office on 13th Street in the midtown area.

Hopefully something "new" will come from this development.

Great use of that land. A lot of projects popping up in that corridor.

I didn't realize that Childcare Network was HQ'd here. I hate that The Shopping Center Group couldn't put some good retail there, but glad for any growth at this point!

I hate hate hate talking about rumors but maybe someone here can confirm whether this is true. I heard there are plans to build a publix in uptown near the river. I can't even think of where it would go but it would be the first big piece in the uptown puzzle. Again this is a rumor at this point.

Near the river, meaning at corner of veterans & victory? I hope it's true. That would mean it will happen after those apartments are torn down.

I haven't heard anything about this, but Uptown does need something like a Dollar General, Walmart Express, Walgreens or CVS, there isn't much grocery shopping available for people that live in Uptown other than going across the river.

Council passed a resolution thanking Fred Van Noy and Carmike Cinemas for donating new seating for the Recorder’s Court courtroom.
