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.

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?

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.
