Benson Capital

Benson Capital and are excited to share that construction is underway on Phase II of The Benjamin Apartments in Franklinton, with delivery anticipated in Q1 2027.

Much like the Benjamin Franklin bifocals signage adorning our buildings, this project is a symbol of vision, advancement, and community. This next phase continues our commitment to creating a thoughtful, well-designed community in one of Columbus’ most creative and fast-growing neighborhoods.

Inspired by some of our favorite hotels, the goal is simple—deliver a comfortable, elevated living experience that feels both modern and welcoming. Located in the heart of the Franklinton Arts District, residents will be just steps from museums, music venues, restaurants, and the neighborhood’s DORA district.

Phase II will also include ground-floor commercial space anchored by a public fitness operator, helping connect the project to the surrounding community.

Amenities will include a resort-style pool, rooftop deck, fitness center, co-working spaces, sauna and cold plunge, dog wash, and more—designed to make everyday living easier and more enjoyable.

We’re grateful for the partners helping bring this to life, including , Kish Bank, Ware Malcomb, Advanced Civil Design, the Ohio Department of Development, the Columbus-Franklin County Finance Authority, and the broader project team.

More to come as progress continues.

The Benjamin Apartments is truly Franklinton’s hidden gem. Surrounded by the neighborhood’s creative energy and growth, we’re inspired by it all and grateful to be part of the transformations taking place here.
