Gravity

Columbus, OH

Despite its proximity to downtown and a burgeoning art community, Franklinton has traditionally lacked a civic identity that reflects and anchors the district. Gravity enriches its live-work-play campus with amenities like vegetable gardens, food truck courts, community programming and a dedicated graffiti wall to create a dynamic hub that can evolve with tenant interests.

The development creates an active, engaging destination for residents, tenants and the surrounding community with a rich environment of art, programming and amenities inspired by the Franklinton neighborhood it calls home. The Gravity campus builds on the neighborhood’s creative, eclectic and sometimes gritty character, with large-scale murals, graffiti art, sculptural installations and industrial materials. “Pocket spaces” formed by the angular buildings house unique indoor and outdoor amenities. They also form intimate neighborhoods within the larger development.

Features

Outdoor spaces encourage engagement and exploration, with an exterior growth wall and expansive grassy zones to lounge during outdoor movies, engage in wellness classes or walk dogs.
