The Tappan Earns a Merit Award from AIA Ohio

The new design-forward mid-rise building in Tremont earned a Merit Award from AIA Ohio, which was revealed at the virtual ceremony last week. Juror Anne Schopf, FAIA, Design Partner at Mahlum Architects, commented on the smart planning strategy to pull-back and celebrate the urban corner. She expressed there is a pleasing separation and rhythm of openings – and applauded against overpacking the building with units, which would have made the pattern impossible. Congratulations to our project team, our collaborators, and our client, Sustainable Community Associates, for bringing this inspiring Opportunity Zone project to life.

Former Mall Site Envisioned as an Amenity-Rich Residential Community

Built in 1966, Richmond Mall was once the largest enclosed shopping mall in Ohio. With the complete purchase of the now-closed mall, the vision for Belle Oaks, a vibrant walkable mixed-use development, moves forward. We have worked closely with DealPoint Merrill to design an amenity-rich destination with a walkable street grid, green space, restaurants, an outdoor community entertainment venue, grocery, retail stores, and cinema. Construction of the $200 million project is anticipated to begin in 2022.
