The Mercantile is a nationally registered historic building with fully renovated homes offering massive kitchens and bathrooms, exposed brick walls, European-style cabinets, real hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and many more features to make for a premium living experience in Downtown Columbus. Every unit is pre-equipped with a washer and dryer, central heating and air, and electronic access included in the rent.
Beauty:
Every unit has unique custom cabinetry with sleek and modern European stylized designs; these are topped with stunning quartz or Corian countertops to round out the premium look and feel for every cooking experience. Combining the historic nature of the building with premium modern finishes, there are beautiful sections of exposed and restored brick throughout the community and featured in most of the homes. Hyper-modern tile design in the bathrooms gives a beautiful, extremely clean, and durable product that will be a highlight of your home. These features and more are highlighted with tremendous amounts of natural light from the over-sized windows as well as the multitude of beautiful LED lights to help set the perfect tone for every occasion.
Efficiency:
We strive to make environmentally and budget conscious decisions, keeping our climate and our tenants' finances in mind to create as efficient homes as possible. Each home is equipped with exclusively LED lighting, making the cost of operating lights a small fraction of what it would cost in a traditional home. Brand new/commercial grade windows, doors, and insulation are all here to help keep your home feeling just right. Plumbing fixtures are Water Sense rated, optimizing water usage while maintaining a premium experience with features like hand-showers.
