Property History
Colliers is pleased to offer qualified investors and developers a rare and exceptional adaptive reuse opportunity at 66 & 80 S. 6th Street in the heart of downtown Columbus, Ohio, the historic Knights of Columbus Building that was originally constructed in 1926. This architecturally significant, 86,814-square-foot landmark sits on 0.60 acres at the northeast corner of S. 6th and E. State Streets, rising six floors with three mezzanines above a 125.5' x 120.5' footprint. 80 S 6th offers a unique opportunity modernize history with a boutique hotel, social club, co-working, creative office, medical office, or apartments.
The property occupies a premier downtown Columbus location, positioned directly across from Grant Medical Center, Columbus State Community College, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and within a half mile of Capitol Square. The surrounding neighborhood offers immediate proximity to the Columbus Public Library, Columbus College of Art & Design, Franklin University, the Columbus Performing Arts Center, the Ohio and Palace Theatre, the Ohio Statehouse, and a vibrant mix of dining and retail. The site includes a surface parking lot with 36 spaces and is zoned Downtown District.
The building carries significant entitlement momentum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020, and in December 2025, the property was awarded approximately $2.23 million in Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits toward an estimated $22.4 million total project cost, a meaningful validation of the project's viability and a powerful tool for a qualified development partner. Preliminary plans envision the rehabilitation of the upper floors into 70 apartments, preserving the building's unique historic character throughout.
