Kramer Place Condominiums bring new life to Italian Village
Highland Management Group breaks ground on new condominiums
For immediate release 7/7/2006
According to developer Highland Management Group CEO Scott Mallory Kramer Place takes its name while paying homage to the former Kramer Paints store whose space the condominiums replace. Kramer Paints provided Italian Village with gallons of hues for years until the property was sold to Highland Management Group for redevelopment.
Mallory said Highland recognized the historic presence Kramer Paints brought to the area and will maintain the architecture that represents the flavor of the former industrial space along with European architecture. Kramer Place will "be historically responsive" said Highland's Vice President Construction Services Dann Goodson.
Mallory said Kramer Place will be open to residents in the spring of 2007 with pricing for a variety of floor plans starting at $180,000. The second and third story condos will provide one and two-bedroom units ranging from 1,000-1,200 square feet. The fourth floor houses penthouse units featuring glass fronts and terraces.
Goodson explained the Fourth Street and First Avenue address, just across the street from Jeffrey Place, will make city living convenient for residents.
"A secure, gated garage will offer ample parking, often hard to find in other downtown or surrounding condominiums," said Goodson. "Retail space with an outdoor piazza on the ground level aims to bring a sense of community to the area; an ideal rooted deep within Italian Village's history," Goodson added.
Former denizens of Italian Village were able to work and live all within the same community. Wonder Bread, Jeffrey Manufacturing and the Smith Brothers provided thousands of jobs in the late 1800's and through the Depression. Kramer Place Condominiums and other similar construction in the area will bring this livelihood back to Italian Village said Goodson.
Highland Management Group, Inc., established March 2000, is a full-service real estate development and construction company. Area projects include retail, office spaces and multi-family developments. Highland's first project was Woodland Hall, a farm-like establishment of homes, situated on generous, pristine lots in Delaware County. This community established Highland's standard for future residential and commercial development � a standard that raises the value and quality of life, environment and property. Creating communities both inside and outside the outer belt, Highland is the developer of Jerome Village, northwest of Dublin in Jerome Township and Hazelton Town Center in Pataskala, and Columbus downtown condominium projects such as Kramer Place in Italian Village and Littleton Square Condominiums in The Ohio State University district.
