Project Narrative
WestBend is the transformation of a historically underutilized riverfront property into a vibrant new mixed-use community along the Scioto River in Columbus.

Envisioned across approximately 50 acres, the completed development will bring together residential living, recreation, and public green space. The long-term vision includes approximately 1,000 residences and a new 17-acre riverfront park with walking and biking trails, a kayak launch, waterfront gathering areas, and an amphitheater.
The first phase will introduce 463 residences across nearly 30 acres, together with a 10,000-square-foot community center overlooking the riverfront landscape. Planned amenities include a café, co-working areas, a fitness center, swimming pool, waterfront green space, and direct access to a recreational lagoon and the Scioto River.
Originally impacted by its former use as a landfill, the property is being repositioned through extensive environmental remediation, public investment, and collaboration among Upland, Thrive Companies, the State of Ohio, and other community partners. The result will be more than a residential development: WestBend will restore a neglected property, expand access to the riverfront, and create a new destination built around community, creativity, and connection.
