Bexley Debuts The Fitzgerald Mixed-Use Development on Main Street
A former Trinity Lutheran Seminary site in Bexley, Ohio, has been reborn as The Fitzgerald, a sprawling mixed-use complex that bridges the gap between City Hall and the local gateway. The project officially opened its doors last Friday, signaling a major shift in the area’s residential and commercial landscape.

Continental Development Ventures spearheaded the transformation of the three-acre parcel, which was acquired from Capital University. The new development now houses 226 residential units ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments. Beyond the living spaces, the site integrates 11,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, alongside 12,500 square feet of offices and a 300-space parking garage.
Mayor Ben Kessler described the project as a generational investment for the city, noting its role in bolstering the walkability of the town center. The development process involved a complex public-private partnership, utilizing tax increment financing to support the infrastructure of the public garage. Coastal Ridge Real Estate, which manages the property, has already begun leasing, with amenities including a rooftop terrace, fitness center, and smart-home technology.
Commercial activity at the site will expand further in spring 2027, when Hudson 29 Kitchen + Drink, a Cameron Mitchell Restaurants concept, opens its doors. For now, the focus remains on integrating the new residents into the existing fabric of Main Street.
