Fischer Homes to build $150 million central Ohio neighborhood
MARYSVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) -- Cincinnati's largest homebuilder is launching a $150 million residential development in central Ohio.
Grand Communities, a subsidiary of the Kentucky-based Fischer Homes, is building a development named "Skybrook" on 120 acres in Marysville. The neighborhood will include 345 homes built over eight years, including two model homes constructed and available for viewing.
"Each of these model homes showcases the latest design trends, offering inspiration for those looking to upgrade their current home or downsize with style," said Tim Brader, Fischer Homes' Columbus division market president, in a release.
About 30 of Skybrook's properties have already sold, with buyers able to choose from 26 floor plans ranging from $304,000 to more than $730,000. The designs span 1,200 to 3,800 square feet, featuring "stylized exteriors blending modern farmhouse and coastal classic aesthetics."
Some of the floor plans include lawn care and snow removal services, Fischer noted. A swimming pool, cabana, playground, picnic shelter and walking paths round out the amenities that will be available.
Skybrook in Marysville is one of several developments Fischer Homes is building in central Ohio, like 21 single-family homes in Heath as part of a development named "Linnview Crossing" that will mark the first time the company has built in the city. Linnview will be a few miles away from Heath's new $218 million downtown district to be named "Central Park."
Grand Communities is also building 19 single-family homes in downtown Powell as part of a development named "Encore Park." The neighborhood is coming to Powell as a co-working business COhatch has been recruited to be one of the main developers tasked with transforming a section of the city’s downtown district.
In the spring of last year, Grand Communities attempted to pitch a 55-lot Dublin neighborhood with three-story townhomes east of Bridge Park. However, the proposal didn't receive the warmest embrace from planning and zoning commissioners who said the architecture lacked Bridge Park character.
