Campus Apartments has completed the transformation of the

units. Standing at the southeast corner of Broad Street and
Grant Avenue in the heart of downtown Columbus, the Seneca
will remain a vibrant landmark for a community that is home
to thousands of college students and young professionals.
In 1917, noted Columbus architect Frank Packard designed the
Seneca Hotel with glitzy suites, lavish ballrooms and a rooftop
garden, making the historic 10-story brick structure the most
glamorous location for Columbus socialites. City leaders and
historic preservationists who have long-hoped for restoration
of the building have met Campus Apartments’ renewal
plans with emphatic support. City officials believe the restored
Seneca will spur further downtown renovation, helping to build
the Discovery District’s reputation as an economic and
social force in Columbus.
The $19 million revitalized Seneca offers 120,000 square feet
of upscale rental housing, complete with sweeping views of
the downtown skyline, spacious marble bathrooms and cherry-wood
kitchens, modern décor, personal washer/dryers, high-speed
Internet connections, fitness center, and 15,000 square feet
of ground-level shops and cafés. The luxury apartments,
ready for move-in on August 1, were designed to cater to the
32,000 students, faculty and young professionals at Columbus
College of Art and Design, Franklin University, Columbus State
Community College, Capitol University Law School, and Grant
Medical Center. |
