NAI Ohio Equities agent Matt Gregory has seen the growth of the area and is convinced Kenny Station presents a unique opportunity for research and technology companies to re-locate to the Columbus area.

"With Kenny Station being centrally located in the research and technology corridor (along 315), Mike and I are confident the property will be able to accommodate any user seeking an innovative workplace with close proximity to interconnected industries," Gregory said.          

Joe Parrish, a partner of Covington Capital is excited to re-develop Kenny Station within this innovative research park.  He is convinced Kenny Station will generate new jobs and compliment technology and research companies currently located within the corridor.
           
“The opportunities to re-develop this property are endless,” Parrish said.  “Our plans to re-develop an old, run-down warehouse building into multi-functional retail, office and warehouse space are centered on the fact that such a technology driven facility and working environment will create unique opportunities for new companies and new jobs.”
