A Rare Development Opportunity in Pickerington, Ohio
In the fast-growing Columbus region, opportunities for large, strategic development parcels are scarce. The listing at 7995 Refugee Rd, Pickerington, OH offers a rare 7.9-acre site zoned C-2 commercial, with compelling visibility, robust demographics, and proximity to major infrastructure and corporate expansions. This is the kind of land investment that can’t be replicated easily — here’s why it deserves your attention.
Property & Market Snapshot
Location, Zoning & Overview
Located within Violet Township in Pickerington (Fairfield County), this parcel offers prime access to both local residential neighborhoods and major traffic arteries. The C-2 zoning allows for a variety of commercial uses (office, medical, retail, mixed-use). With its size (7.9 acres) and frontage on Refugee Rd, the property stands out among many sub-acre development sites in Pickerington.
Traffic, Visibility & Demographics
The site benefits from high visibility: nearby corridors such as Hill Rd (SR-256) experience 30,000+ average daily traffic, while Refugee Rd handles tens of thousands as well (as shown in marketing collateral). In addition:
95,000+ population within 5 miles
Strong median household income and home values
These metrics create a built-in customer base and support demand for services, medical, office, or retail uses.
Regional Growth Drivers
This isn’t just land — it’s land in the path of momentum. Intel’s $28B “Silicon Heartland” campus in New Albany, along with expansion projects from Amazon and Google in central Ohio, are fueling commercial demand beyond just the downtown core. Pickerington is well-positioned to capture spillover from these growth corridors.
Why This Parcel Stands Out
Scale & Use Flexibility
Most commercial parcels in Pickerington are under 2 acres. This 7.9-acre tract allows for larger footprints, phased development, and flexibility in building layout.
Strategic Entry Price
For developers who understand “land scarcity = premium value,” the asking price provides room for upside once zoning, layout, and user mix are optimized.
Infrastructure & Community Support
Recent upgrades to the Refugee Rd corridor — roundabouts, turn lanes, improved pedestrian amenities — reduce soft costs and improve circulation, making development more attractive.
Proximity to Key Amenities
The parcel is within walking/short driving distance of established neighborhoods, the newly expanded OhioHealth Pickerington Methodist facility, and schools — all contributing to demand capture.
Investor Appeal
For those building medical, professional, or mixed-use projects, this site offers both commuter access to Columbus and the advantage of serving local demand in Fairfield County.
Use Cases & Potential Concepts
Even if built in phases, the parcel can support multi-building developments or a dominant anchor plus ancillary uses.
Request OM / Schedule Site Visit
If you’re actively sourcing land in central Ohio, this is a must-see. We encourage serious developers, medical users, or investment groups to download the Offering Memorandum, view detailed maps and pro forma scenarios, or schedule a site walk.
