255 East State Street Mixed-Use Development

The Kleingers Group assisted the developer with survey and civil engineering services in the Downtown District of Columbus. The previous building required leveling to make way for the new facility on the south side of East State Street between two existing buildings. The new building has two floors of parking underneath first-floor retail and six floors of 220 residential units above. This project included attention to existing utilities, surrounding buildings, and adjacent roadways. Grading for the project was critical to meet the existing roadway/sidewalk, and the Kleingers team stepped the entrance doors to the retail to parallel existing constraints. The stormwater management area was placed beneath the parking garage floor with a pump due to inadequate outlet depth for gravity service. Coordination with the landscape architect was critical for required streetscape improvements, including planter boxes, on-street parking with meters, and other accessories.
