First apartment building open, ready for lease

Heights at Worthington Place By CANDY BROOKS Tuesday September 2, 2014 8:07 PM

The owners of a new apartment complex touts spectacular views, granite countertops, a dog wash and two chargers for electric cars.

Heights at Worthington Place tenants will have those amenities this week as the first of two apartment buildings opens next to Worthington's mall.

Ten of the 59 one- and two-bedroom units in the smaller of the two buildings were leased prior to the complex's Sept. 2 opening, and owners say they're confident the rest will fill soon.

Tom Hoying and Russ Hunter of Crawford Hoying, which built both of the buildings, hosted Worthington city officials on a tour Aug. 28.

After looking at one of the two-bedroom apartments in the four-story building, they toured the roof, where gardens, grills, and tables and chairs are included, with towering views of Worthington, the Olentangy River and beyond.

"That will be the most beautiful sunset view in the city of Worthington," City Council President Bonnie Michael said. "You can sit there and see the whole western sky."

Each apartment comes with either a balcony or a patio.

The apartments also come with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, walk-in closets, and vinyl flooring and carpeting.

Only one- and two-bedroom units are available in the smaller building, but the larger building that faces West Wilson Bridge Road will include 11 three-bedroom apartments.
