The Columbus Downtown Development Corporation, an ad hoc mixed-sector, non-profit organisation, managed most of these projects. Overall, USD 350 million of real estate value was either renovated or created, generating 1 000 jobs. According to the local government, the overall Columbus Commons projects’ USD 388 million public infrastructure investment was offset by private investment amounting to close to USD 2 billion. The city reportedly created an additional 1 600 jobs through that effort.
