The Creekside Story: Olde Gahanna Redevelopment
Recent redevelopment projects by local businesses and developers are indicative of the fact that the private sector understands
and is continuing this design philosophy that has evolved over the past decade. A significant Olde Gahanna project, completed
in 2003, was undertaken by the local development-architecture team of Brookwood Construction and George Parker & Associates.
Both companies have offices in Olde Gahanna. In an era when it is becoming increasingly difficult for local entrepreneurs
to guide redevelopment initiatives, the City is very proud that these local businessmen have joined in the exciting
transformation of Olde Gahanna. The project is located at the northwest corner of Mill Street/Route 62 and includes
a new Old Bag of Nails Restaurant and a new Colonial house that replicates the historic Summerfield house, built near
the middle of the 19th century.
Several other recent renovations enhance Olde Gahanna's pedestrian friendliness with new patios, expanded dining
areas, and major façade improvements. Signature's Bar and Grill added a front patio to make for a more inviting
entrance creating a more pedestrian friendly environment on Mill Street. Sky Box Bar and Grill added a front patio.
These improvements created a more urban scene out of a suburban scale building. Brookwood Construction refurbished
two nearby historic houses in 2002. One became the home to the new Gahanna Convention & Visitors Bureau, formed in
2001, and the other is home to professional offices.
The intersection of Mill and Granville is the focal heart of Olde Gahanna. A major redevelopment project on this
"Founder's Corner" Founder's Plaza was finished in 1999 and is now home to several businesses and a Panera Bread
restaurant. It is one building with multiple facades to emulate a smaller town scale. Across the street is the
renovated "Bridge House" building, complete with a preserved façade and an overlook deck cantilevered over Creekside Park.
