The former Beulah Park racetrack is getting one more lap of construction, with Grove City’s massive mixed-use neighborhood moving toward its final buildout. New housing and retail space are now in the picture as the development fills in the last major pieces near the city’s historic Town Center.
The $500 million project could add more residential units and commercial space, according to Columbus Business First. The update comes after Beulah Park rapidly grew from a former horse track into one of the region’s largest walkable suburban developments.
Beulah Crossing Is The Final Piece Near Town Center
The last major phase is tied to Beulah Crossing, a mixed-use project planned at Beulah Park’s Columbus Street entrance. A 2024 development update from Beulah Park Living described two buildings with 40 apartments above ground-floor restaurant and commercial space, totaling more than 56,000 square feet.
The city’s Planning Commission previously described Beulah Crossing as a 3.4-acre project with residential, retail, restaurant and office uses on the north and south sides of Columbus Street. A commercial leasing brochure from Capitol Equities lists two retail or restaurant buildings of up to 5,609 square feet each, with delivery targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Nearly 1,000 Homes Already Surround The Park
Beulah Park is no longer just a development on a site plan. A February 2025 recap published by Beulah Park Living said the community was nearing 1,000 residences across apartments, townhomes, single-family homes, custom lots and senior living.
The residential mix includes the 384-unit Beulah Place apartments, 82 rental townhomes at The Strand, 138 homes at The Grove, 84 custom lots at The Paddock, senior patio homes and a senior-living complex. The city’s Park at Beulah now anchors the neighborhood with a central park, seven lighted pickleball courts, paved trails, a pavilion and a separate conservation area.
A New Front Door For Grove City
Grove City officials have long framed the former racetrack as a chance to connect downtown with new neighborhoods rather than create another isolated subdivision. The city’s original Beulah Park framework called for a mix of housing and smaller-scale commercial uses, along with gathering spaces and walkable connections to the Town Center.
With more homes planned and the retail frontage moving closer to reality, the conversation is shifting from whether Beulah Park will transform Grove City to what businesses will ultimately occupy its final storefronts. For a project that was once a racetrack, the finish line is finally starting to look less theoretical.
