Olshan Properties breaks ground on Ohio Aloft

Real estate owner, developer and operator Olshan Properties broke ground on a 136-key Aloft Hotel at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio. Expected to open spring 2020, the hotel will feature a 7,500-square-foot restaurant, a fitness center, a swimming pool and event and meeting space.

The Aloft hotel is owned in partnership with L Brands and The Georgetown Co. Once completed, it will be a centerpiece of a $500 million expansion underway at Easton Town Center.

The upcoming property will mark Olshan Properties’ fourth hotel at Easton, joining a Hilton, a Courtyard by Marriott and a Residence Inn by Marriott. The company owns and manages all three hotels.

“We are thrilled to announce the start of construction on our Aloft Hotel at Easton Town Center,” Olshan Properties’ CEO Andrea Olshan said in a statement. “Olshan has operated an award-winning collection of hotel properties at Easton for the past two decades, and the Aloft will build on the strengths of our local hotel portfolio and become a key component of the center’s exciting $500 million expansion plan.”
