Olshan Breaks Ground on Fourth Hotel at Columbus’ Easton Center

Olshan Properties broke ground on a 136-key Aloft Hotel at Easton Town Center in Columbus, OH. The new Aloft will become Olshan’s fourth hotel at Easton, and part of the company’s large national hotel portfolio.

The Aloft, expected to open spring 2020, is owned in partnership with Easton owners L Brands and the Georgetown Company. The Marriott-flagged Aloft brand operated 121 properties as of this past summer.

“Olshan has operated an award-winning collection of hotel properties at Easton for the past two decades, and the Aloft will build on the strengths of our local hotel portfolio and become a key component of the Center’s exciting $500-million expansion plan,” said CEO Andrea Olshan.

Based in New York City, the company has long been active in central Ohio. Along with three existing hotel properties at Easton, it owns and manages the Greene Town Center mixed-use development in Dayton, OH’s Beavercreek suburb.
