Apartment complex opens on West 5th Avenue with first-floor commercial and rooftop pool
A new apartment complex has opened on West 5th Avenue near Grandview Heights.
Called Fifth x Northwest, the six-story complex includes 164 apartments and 10,000 square feet of first-floor retail.
The complex includes studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments with smart-home technology. Prices start at $1,200 for a 469-square-foot studio; $1,610 for a 645-square-foot one-bedroom; and $2,550 for a 1,185-square-foot two-bedroom.
Community amenities include a fitness center, sauna, rooftop lounge, coworking space, clubhouse, and a deck with a pool.
Erwin Effler, president of the developer, Effler Commercial, said the company is in talks with several tenants interested in the commercial space.
"We are close with one med/spa group and are in conversations with a number of others who will compliment the demographic we anticipate in the building," he said. "We would like to see yoga, spa, and other high-end services that cater to this part of Columbus, Grandview, and Upper Arlington."
Fifth x Northwest was designed by Archall Architects, built by Brackett Builders, and will be managed by LINK Property Management.
'We're proud to unveil a development that not only provides high-quality housing but also enhances the surrounding community with thoughtful architecture and programming,' Effler said.
