Wexner Heritage Village Breaks Ground for Creekside at the Village

October 24, 2003

A groundbreaking ceremony took place recently for Wexner Heritage Village’s (WHV) latest venture Creekside at the Village. The 82-unit independent apartment building will be built next door to Wexner Heritage House, 1151 College Ave., boasting its own entrance and parking. Other amenities include two restaurant-style meals daily, 24-hour security with call buttons in each apartment, housekeeping, valets, well-appointed common areas and tenant assistance services.

Richard S. Lamden, WHV president/CEO, said, “Members of the community have, for many years, expressed interest in a high quality senior housing development that accommodates aging in place. Creekside will respond to that need.”
Almost 50 percent of the building is already pre-leased with those depositing early being named to the Creekside Charter Club.

The first official Charter Club member Eloise Saslaw, had the honor of giving remarks and officially breaking the ground for construction along with Lamden and Dr. Kurt Malkoff, chair of the Wexner Heritage Village Board of Directors. Mike Canter, chair of the Columbus Jewish Federation campaign was on hand to share remarks as well. Saslaw commented that she looked forward to moving in and “never having to cook another meal!”
