The City of Westerville is opening the door to new commercial opportunities with the listing of six premium development sites at Westar Place, the city’s flagship business park. These city-owned parcels, ranging in size from 5 to 15 acres, are officially on the market and positioned to attract a range of buyers—from office developers to tech innovators and commercial enterprises.

Backed by a strategic vision for economic growth, Westerville is promoting these sites as shovel-ready, meaning infrastructure and utilities are already in place or on the fast track to completion. The move marks a major phase in the city’s broader commercial development initiative, aimed at fueling investment and job creation in Central Ohio.

Infrastructure Investment Fuels Growth

A key part of the project is a significant city investment of more than $30 million in infrastructure upgrades. Beginning in early 2025, construction crews will break ground on new roads and utility lines, ensuring all sites are seamlessly connected to the regional transportation network.

Buyers and developers will benefit from direct access to municipal electric, water, and high-speed fiber, along with shared regional stormwater retention amenities. These infrastructure assets help reduce time-to-build and make the properties especially appealing to companies needing reliable and modern utility connections.

Business-Friendly Development Incentives

The City of Westerville isn’t just offering land—it’s offering opportunity. Through a suite of economic development incentives and a streamlined approval process, the city is positioning itself as a partner to prospective businesses rather than a bureaucratic hurdle.

The combination of ready-to-develop land, supportive local government, and future-focused infrastructure sets a strong foundation for success.

Location, Location, Westar

Centrally located in one of Central Ohio’s most vibrant communities, Westar Place is already home to a mix of respected local and global businesses. The district’s appeal goes beyond the boardroom: walkable access to restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, and retail creates a work environment that supports both employee satisfaction and professional growth.

The park is also within reach of a highly educated, diverse workforce, thanks in part to nearby higher education institutions and Westerville’s strong K-12 school system.

A Bright Future at Westar

For businesses looking to grow in a future-ready community, the opportunity at Westar Place is hard to beat. With competitive advantages built into every acre—from utilities to workforce access—Westerville is paving the way for the next generation of commercial success.

Interested parties are encouraged to contact the City of Westerville’s Economic Development office for more information and site tours.
