FAQs
Where is Metro Center?
Metro Center is located southeast of the I-270 and US-33 interchange and is approximately 210 acres. The general limits are Frantz Road (east), Interstate 270 (west), Bridge Street District (north) and Blazer Parkway (south). Some transportation tasks may require study and recommendations for area outside these limits. The planning area includes low-rise and mid-rise office buildings with large surface parking lots, smaller office condos, flex office buildings, hotels, some commercial services, undeveloped property, Smiley Park and the Cosgray Run. The area includes approximately 3,000 feet of highway frontage.
How does the project connect to Envision Dublin?
Envision Dublin establishes the community-wide vision and goals for Dublin, while the Dublin Corporate Area Special Area Plan provides more specific direction for growth and development within the area. The Revitalization Plan builds on Envision Dublin by applying these broader goals and strategies to the 210-acre Metro Center district and establishing an urban design framework for its future revitalization.
Why is this Important?
Business retention and attraction is vital to our community’s corporate income tax base which funds City services, quality infrastructure and community amenities. To remain competitive, the City most continue to be the champion for innovation to help our older suburban office complexes evolve for the future of work.
What is the timeline?
Visioning for Metro Center began in 2023 with the adoption of the Revitalization Plan in December 2024. Since then, the project team has drafted design guidelines and zoning approach. The draft design guidelines, zoning and rezoning will be reviewed through the public review process, first by the Planning & Zoning Commission then by City Council. The public review process is expected to occur from fall 2026 to early 2027.
How can I get involved?
Through the public review process, community members are invited to attend meetings where public comment may be submitted through the City’s website or in person. Public meetings may also be streamed and recordings accessed through the City’s Planning & Zoning Commission or City Council meeting webpages.
