491 Park Street: A Rare Restaurant Opportunity at the Center of Columbus' Downtown Revival
491 PARK STREET IS AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL
As downtown Columbus transforms with more than a billion dollars in active and upcoming development, one address offers a front-row seat to the action: 491 Park Street. This ±8,522 SF fully built-out restaurant space with a private patio, currently operating, sits on the same block as the North Market Tower and steps from some of the city's most impactful projects.
If you're looking for restaurant or retail space for lease near North Market or the Columbus Convention Center, here’s why 491 Park Street should be on your radar…
#1 It’s located on the Same Block as the North Market Tower — Columbus' Landmark Mixed-Use Project
The highly anticipated North Market Tower is rising next door, with delivery expected in early 2026. This 32-story mixed-use development will feature:
Hotel accommodations
Residential apartments
Class-A office space
An expanded, reimagined North Market
As one of the most significant additions to the Columbus skyline in decades, it will draw daily foot traffic from residents, professionals, and hotel guests—creating an economic ripple effect for retail and hospitality tenants in the immediate area.
#2 it’s Surrounded by $100M+ in Public and Private Investments
Located in the Arena District, 491 Park Street is at the intersection of multiple high-impact developments, including:
$130 million in upgrades to the Greater Columbus Convention Center
Planned renovations to Nationwide Arena, boosting event capacity and experience
124 brand-new apartments now leasing just behind the building on Vine Street
The upcoming 17,000 SF Pickle Park & Pub—a high-end pickleball and dining destination set to open in Astor Park by Summer 2026
These projects will fuel foot traffic, tourism, residential density, and year-round activity—making now the ideal time to secure space while it’s still available.
#3 Hospitality Momentum: New Neighbors Include Lumin Skybar & Noble Cut Sports Bar
Beyond public investment, the Arena District is attracting major private hospitality momentum. A local restaurant group—known for popular spots like Forno and Standard—is revamping the Lumin Skybar atop the AC Marriott and teaming up with Noble Cut Distillery to open a high-end sports bar on the hotel’s ground floor, just one block from 491 Park Street.
These additions signal the next wave of dining and nightlife in downtown Columbus—and 491 Park Street is right in the middle of it.
#4 A Turnkey Restaurant Space with Patio—Ready to Operate or Rebrand
Whether you're launching a new food concept, expanding an existing brand, or creating a flagship downtown location, this space allows you to hit the ground running.
Unlike many downtown listings that require heavy lift or raw shell build-outs, 491 Park Street is already fully outfitted for restaurant use. Highlights include:
±8,522 SF of interior space
Private outdoor patio
Prime corner exposure with strong visibility
Existing kitchen, bar infrastructure, and dining layout (2nd gen)
Surrounded by pedestrian and vehicle traffic
And much more!
