Without a doubt, this is going to be one of the best new buildings in the Short North.
It’s not time to move in yet, but our latest walk-through of Fourth Crossing had our eyes widening and our mouths watering. This is going to be special.

So what is Fourth Crossing? Simply put, Fourth Crossing is a brand-new building housing 36 luxury apartments. It’s located in Italian Village, Columbus’s reinvented once-industrial neighborhood, just north of our most exciting project: Budd Dairy Food Hall. If you live in Fourth Crossing, you’re going to be eating well.
About a year ago, we first announced our Fourth Crossing project. All we had to show was an empty lot and an artist’s rendering. Then in September, we showed off the work we’d gotten done that summer. The frame was finished and things looked like they were coming together.
Now, we’re nearing the end of construction and are in the detail section of the project (at least that’s how we think of it). We want you to be the first to have an exclusive look at the newest Fourth Crossing updates.
The Outside
First, you’ll notice that Fourth Crossing is anything but a cookie-cutter design. We’ve worked tirelessly to develop a building that elevates the area around it.
Instead of plopping in a thoughtless apartment building, we’ve considered Italian Village and its history. Fourth Crossing’s careful brickwork and industrial-inspired windows hearken back to the factories and warehouses that were once alive and well in this former working-class neighborhood.
But that doesn’t mean that Fourth Crossing doesn’t feel like home. Five special units feature their own private patios and others have decks with unforgettable views of Downtown Columbus and The Ohio State University.
And because Italian Village can sometimes face complex parking rules and busyness, Fourth Crossing has its own parking garage. It doesn’t get much better than that.
The Inside
What else do you expect? You know that Lykens Companies loves giving residents tons of open space to host their friends and families.
And you know we love fantastic kitchens, too. Custom-fitted cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and highest quality granite countertops make these kitchens the real heart of the unit. And because we believe that Fourth Crossing is special, we’ve installed unique lighting fixtures that we’ve absolutely fallen in love with.

But the luxury doesn’t stop there, we’ve outfitted Fourth Crossing with some awesome bathrooms. Complete with granite vanities, floor-to-ceiling tile, and elegant glass shower doors, these bathrooms convince anyone that they’re actually staying in a five-star hotel. Of course, we’ll have stacked washer and dryer units, too.
Are you ready?
We’re thrilled that Fourth Crossing is so close to ready. We know that these special apartments are going to provide an unforgettable living experience to anyone and everyone who lives inside them.
