The Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, CASTO, and their partners announced on Tuesday they have closed on financing for an expansion of the River & Rich apartment community in Franklinton .
The $70 million expansion known as Westrich will be built on vacant land adjacent to River & Rich. It will have 234 units in two buildings within the Franklinton Arts and Innovation district near Dodge Park. "As the new second chapter of River & Rich, Westrich will foster an urban lifestyle while also honoring the character of the Arts and Innovation district in which it resides,” CMHA president and CEO Charles Hillman said in a media release.
CMHA said their aim with Westrich is to continue the economic revitalization of Franklinton. Most of its units are set to serve households earning below 100% of the Area Median Income, which for Columbus is $69,500 for a one-person household or $99,200 for a four-person household. “It’s going to breathe new life into the historically oldest neighborhood in Columbus,” Hillman said. “Equally important, it will provide housing to wage-earners at a range of income levels that Columbus desperately needs.”
