Columbus Is Booming—But Who’s Actually Controlling the Dirt?

[Robert Ellis]

I’m seeing a major shift in builder velocity south of Columbus—Pickaway, Ross, Fairfield, and even into Hocking. Landowners are getting unsolicited offers, and raw land deals are going under contract before hitting the market.

Who here is actively developing or entitling land in Central Ohio? What strategies are you using to get in front of builders before the crowd? Let’s talk site control, zoning timelines, and capital structure—this wave is just getting started.

Drop your insights below or DM me—especially if you’re moving dirt in the I-70/I-71 corridor.
