Ground was broken Thursday on a new housing development near the Ohio State University campus.

It's along East Ninth Avenue and is set to open in time for the fall 2023 semester.

The developer said it will be tailor-made for students and young professionals. All of the apartments will be fully furnished and will include many amenities, including a pool and study lounge.

With recent crime on and near campus, the developer said steps will be taken to protect residents.

They said all units will have a Nest doorbell and electronic locks. There will also be surveillance cameras, a security guard, and a gated garage.
