Dublin finalizes COhatch plan to renovate historic homes for mixed-use village

DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) -- Construction is set to begin next year on the redevelopment of several historic Dublin homes as part of a mixed-use district that will be built along the Scioto River near Bridge Park.

The Dublin Architectural Review Board approved on Nov. 20 a final plan by co-working business COhatch to build a mixed-use development named "Riverview Village" along North Riverview Street. The board's approval came as Dublin City Council finalized an economic development agreement for the project that includes a 20% performance income tax inventive.

Now, COhatch is aiming to begin construction on Riverview Village during the fall of 2025 with an estimated completion date in late 2026.

Riverview will include the construction of COhatch's new 14,250-square-foot headquarters and the restoration of four historic Dublin homes. Once completed, one of the renovated buildings will be home to a café, while the company has said the others could be used as private offices, meeting spaces, individual company retreat homes or event spaces.

"This development is intended to create a walkable district with a mix of start-ups and growing businesses, non-profits, hybrid companies, restaurant and event spaces, markets, and active outdoor plazas," COhatch's plan filed with the city states.

A development outline submitted to the city shows that COhatch recently updated their plans for Riverview to include an outdoor kiosk located in a center plaza, home to a market and other interactive events on the weekends. The kiosk will offer desserts and beverages for visitors to munch or sip on while strolling around Riverview.

Launched in 2016, COhatch is home to co-working spaces and private offices with locations across nine cities, including Atlanta, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. The company offers intimate "phone booth" rooms, fully equipped podcast rooms, large meeting rooms and event spaces available for company gatherings, anniversary parties, reunions and even weddings.
