As the W.C. Bradley Company works to complete The Rapids, an upscale apartment complex in downtown Columbus that will have restaurants and retail tenants, it’s also planning another food-based attraction just to the south off Bay Avenue.

It will be an indoor food venue carved out of what decades ago was a warehouse dedicated to storing cotton for transport down the Chattahoochee River via steamships. A historic textile mill, the Eagle & Phenix, also is in the vicinity, it now having been transformed by W.C. Bradley into modern condos and apartments.

“We have a building back there that we are in the very early stages of trying to design a pretty interesting dining concept,” Pace Halter, president of W.C. Bradley’s Real Estate Division, said Monday of the indoor food court on Bay Avenue.

The actual location is between the existing 11th and Bay Southern Table restaurant and Whitewater Express, an outdoor rafting and zip-line company that does business on and above the river. It’s situated across from Woodruff Riverfront Park, which is popular year-round with local residents and visitors walking, bicycling and simply hanging out in the area, which includes a children’s playground and splash pad.

“It’s part of the warehouse there,” Halter said. “Technically, in the strictest sense, it’s part of this building, our corporate building, but it’s back behind us here in the lower area.”

The W.C. Bradley executive said the timeline for opening the indoor food venue is a bit fuzzy, with the company still going through its budget estimates for the attraction. His goal is to get started on construction early next year and open by late spring or early summer.

“The current design right now is we’ve got 11 food booths in there,” Halter said. “They may not all be food. There may be some that are more passive dry goods and stuff like that. We really haven’t even started tenanting it yet or even marketing it for that matter.”

Hoping for something similar to Krog Street in Atlanta.

It's probably too much to dream of a roof top patio bar, but I've had a few cocktails so I will.

I think a rooftop patio bar is a GREAT idea---and all I've had is some non-alcoholic (boo-hoo) eggnog!

Pace Halter is the best thing to happen to W.C. Bradley Company in a long time. He brings Atlanta style thinking to their development projects. We need more local developers thinking like him. He will be a tremendous asset to the growth of downtown.

W.C. Bradley is flexing its muscles in its hometown, and that's a very good thing! Marc Olivie also deserves a lot of credit! I'm STILL hoping for a revival of Bradley's namesake movie house---the Bradley Theater.

That would be a great opportunity for redevelopment. Just glad to see outside of the box thinking. Pace has had a lot of experience in Atlanta. Good to see him bring that vision to Columbus.

It sounds like it will be like another new project in Marietta; Marietta Square Market

Great comparison. Looks like Columbus is the first city outside of metro Atlanta to get a food hall like this. Savannah might have something similar but not sure. Hopefully it turns out similar to the Marietta project.

Default Reminds me of The Pizitz in Birmingham

This sounds a lot like Ths Pizitz Food Hall in downtown Birmingham. I’ve eaten there a few times very nice variety of food and local merchants only none of the big chains. It sits across from the McWane Children’s Museum and has upstairs apartments. Anyway it’s a plus for Uptown.

The Pizitz Food Hall
