72 homes planned for south of Delaware’s 270-acre Addison Farms development

DELAWARE, Ohio ( WCMH ) — A Cleveland-based developer is moving forward with plans to expand its central Ohio footprint by building more than 70 homes directly south of its 270-acre development in Delaware.

The Delaware Planning Commission approved on April 3 the proposal by Addison Rutherford, one of several development companies owned by Jason Friedman — a prolific real estate developer also constructing Delaware’s sprawling 273-acre Addison Farms development. Addison Rutherford’s proposal calls for the construction of 72 single-family homes across 22 vacant acres.

The development, referred to as “Rutherford Acres” in the proposal, will connect to the Hayes Colony subdivision to the west by extending Rutherford and Birchard avenues. Rutherford Acres will also intersect with Addison Farms’ Four Seasons subdivision, under construction to feature 49 single-family homes on 29 acres and 45 single-family homes on 11 acres.

The Four Seasons subdivision is the southernmost cluster of Friedman’s Addison Farms development. Other sections include 67 single-family homes being built on 22 acres with a residents-only 4,200-square-foot clubhouse home to a pool, a playground and event spaces available for rent.

Nearly 150 townhomes are also under construction across 17 acres as part of Addison Farms. The two-story and three-story townhomes will sprawl a minimum of 1,200 square feet with a two-car garage. More than 280 apartment units across 45 single-story buildings round out

In addition to Friedman’s properties, several other developments are taking shape in Delaware. Romanelli and Hughes are constructing 97 single-family homes to continue building out the 473-acre Terra Alta development north of Braumiller Road and west of Berlin Station Road. The plan calls for 43 homes to be built on 27.2 acres and 54 homes on 21.2 acres.

Maronda Homes is aiming to build 655 homes as part of a residential and commercial development named “Donovan Farms” on a 114-acre site next to Boulder Park, east of South Section Line Road and west of Houk Road.
