Roundup of Springfield housing development proposals over the years

Bridgewater:

The fourth and final phase of the Bridgewater housing development in Springfield is slated to began and end in 2022. Once complete, it will bring the amount of lots available for new home builds for the entire development to 226.

The development is located near the Walmart on Tuttle Road.

Site work started at the development in 2019 and home sales started in early 2020. So far, many new homes have been built there and residents have started moving in. Bridgewater constituted the first major housing development in the Springfield area since the 1990s.

Sycamore Ridge:

The same developer of Bridgewater, DDC Management, is looking at creating another housing development in the area that will be separate from their previous project. The planned development will be located along East Leffel Lane and South Burnett Road.

The goal is to bring 258 new homes to the area and the first phase of the project is slated to began this year.

Former Melody Theatre Drive-In Site

A Columbus-area developer is proposing to build more than 1,200 housing units in Springfield on a tract of land that includes a former drive-in theater just east of the city.

The homes, which will be a mixture of single-family, multi-family and patio-style, will be built on about 247 acres of land known as the 4025 E. National Road annexation zone.

The developer proposing the project is the Borror property management company. The project will be completed in five phases and the request to have that land annexed into the city of Springfield was recently approved by city commissioners.

For a look at how those projects may impact the Clark-Shawnee school district, in which all three developments will be located in, read the story below:
