The Brewery District Commission met Thursday night and heard a proposal from North Carolina Builder Zimmer Development Company and architectural firm NBBJ.

Zimmer Development Co., the North Carolina developer behind the proposal, has never built in Columbus or Ohio before, but the company says the local market’s activity makes it an ideal time to enter the market with a statement piece.

In its three decades in operation, Zimmer Development Co. of Wilmington, North Carolina, has tackled more than 250 projects in 140 cities.

Zimmer Development Co. of Wilmington, North Carolina, submitted plans to the city for the multi-phase project, which would be built on 17.3 acres north of W. Whittier Street between the Scioto Audubon Metro Park and railroad tracks.

Wilmington, North Carolina-based Zimmer Development Co. has submitted early plans to the city for a project on a 17-acre plot of undeveloped land on the Whittier Peninsula, near the Scioto Audubon Metro Park.

Zimmer Development Company has been working with NBBJ – the architectural firm behind local developments like Gravity and Two25 Commons – to develop the project.
