About The Mercantile Apartments

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.

Technology and Safety:
Entry to the building is fully electronic, enabling access by both key-fob and intercom functionality; walk up and walk in with this premium security feature without fumbling to turn a key while you carry groceries. Each home is also equipped with a digital combination lock, giving you the freedom to leave keys behind for any adventure that might await. The community is preconfigured and ready for immediate high speed internet service.

The entire property and surrounding area is calm and quiet, with 24/7 video surveillance and night lighting for entrances and parking areas. As part of the Capital Crossroads District, our community has great access to resources including public safety patrols, information assistance, and various public services to help you feel comfortable at home. Secured building access and partnerships with major carriers like Amazon help to protect your deliveries from the elements and theft, making sure they are placed inside a secured mailroom.

Community:
The Mercantile is a recently developed boutique community offering premium experiences at efficient prices for people seeking a home downtown. Our community is located perfectly for convenient access to Downtown, Olde Towne East, German Village, Short North, and more for shopping, restaurants, and night life; check out our neighbors like The Walrus, Dueling Axes, Pecan Penny's, Mikey's Late Night Slice, and more! Nestled at the edge of Downtown, your new home offers all of the downtown convenience while retaining a great neighborhood feel.

The building features ample common space for on-site entertainment, perfect for getting away from the world with a group of friends or neighbors in the lounge, focusing on work at the lobby's, or enjoying a simple change of scenery. The on-site Fitness Center allows for perfect body-maintenance with premium Rogue and Assault Fitness equipment; the bikes and treadmills are the same models used by many NCAA and NFL teams! Dueling Axes is equipped with a full-service bar right in the building, so a nightcap is steps away without having to brave the elements.

History:
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Mercantile is the former home of The United States Carriage Company (The USCC), who rose to prominence in the late 1800s and early 1900s for their horse and engine driven carriages, assembled here in the heart of Columbus. For over 100 years, the building was occupied by renowned businesses such as DeVore and Krupp, leaving an amazing legacy in what are now some of the finest homes in Columbus.

impossible to contact

I was so excited to view this property and have been reaching out for weeks both email and over the phone and am extremely disappointed in their lack of communication. If they won’t even communicate to new people trying to give them their money, how do they treat their residents?

I have tried to contact them for a week now and they don’t email or call back. Disgusting customer service.

Beautiful Unique Apartments! Great Location!

I have been looking for an apartment for a long time and I have finally found my place at the new USCC. Its really modern like living in a luxury hotel but it still has those old features that I love, like exposed brick and the beam in my bedroom.
Located right in the heart of Downtown Columbus I can walk to my work as well as many eateries, pubs, bars and shows which I take full advantage of. Great management. Easy to work with.
