Dublin, Ohio approves 75-unit affordable, disability-inclusive apartment project at Dublin Center Drive and West Dublin Granville Road

Project approval and site details

A 75-unit apartment development with a disability-inclusive design and multiple affordability components has been approved for construction in Dublin, Ohio. The Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission signed off on the proposal in January 2026.

The four-story building is planned for a 1.6-acre vacant parcel at the corner of Dublin Center Drive and West Dublin Granville Road, next to an existing Fifth Third Bank branch. Project materials identify the development as “All In Dublin.”

Partnership structure and target residents

The project is being advanced through a partnership of TFG Housing Resources, the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), and All Inclusive Living (All In), a nonprofit organization that has worked on housing models aimed at integrating residents with disabilities alongside other households.

The unit mix is structured around three distinct occupancy priorities:

• 25% of apartments set aside as deeply affordable for adults with disabilities;
• 40% of apartments with a preference for older adults;
• Remaining units positioned as workforce housing and open to all ages.

Financing and timeline

The development was awarded Low Income Housing Tax Credits by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency in 2025, a financing mechanism commonly used to support below-market rental housing by leveraging private investment through federal tax incentives.

Construction is projected to start in summer 2026. The initial occupancy target is fall 2027, aligning the project with a multi-year pipeline typical for tax-credit multifamily construction, including final design, permitting, financing close, and buildout.

Local context and transit considerations

The approval adds a comparatively rare form of subsidized and workforce-oriented housing to a community better known for market-rate development. In Dublin, most recent multifamily growth has been associated with mixed-use districts and higher-end projects, while new income-restricted projects have been limited in number and often focused on seniors.

The proposed site also sits along the corridor of the planned LinkUS Northwest Bus Rapid Transit line, placing the project within an emerging regional transit investment area. If delivered as planned, frequent bus service could expand access to jobs, healthcare, and services for residents who benefit from reliable, higher-capacity transit options.

The project’s structure—combining disability-inclusive set-asides, an older-adult preference, and workforce units within a single development—positions it as a mixed-population model rather than a single-purpose housing facility.

What happens next

With the commission’s approval secured, the project’s next milestones typically include final engineering, construction bidding, and coordination of financing and compliance requirements tied to tax credits and affordability commitments. The construction start and 2027 move-in target will depend on those steps proceeding on schedule.
