The acquisition is Tempus Realty Partner’s sixth deal in the Columbus area. The company also owns the Offices at Polaris, acquired in September 2018 for $17.8 million, the Huntington office building, acquired in November 2021 for $6.7 million, and the Hillard industrial building, acquired in December 2020 for $5.7 million, according to its website.

Columbus rising

The Columbus metro is experiencing increases in demand for properties of all types. Technology and research companies are expanding their operations in the area, bringing an inflow of new residents and workers.

Two companies that began construction on their new Ohio projects this year include Stonemont Financial Group and Intel. Stonemont Financial Group is constructing a Columbus industrial park set to be some 859,240 square feet. Intel is developing two semiconductor manufacturing plants on a nearly 1,000-acre site in the area. The $20 billion project will bring 3,000 long-term manufacturing and engineering jobs to Columbus.
