COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A Dublin-based development firm will soon break ground on an $28.2 million apartment complex that is taking over the former Movies 11 at Mill Run.
Dune Companies will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its Reserve at Mill Run project on Thursday. The 120-unit complex will be constructed at 3755-3799 Ridge Mill Drive, which was home to Movies 11 until it closed in July 2023 and was demolished last year.
“By transforming the former Mill Run movie theater site, Dune Companies is revitalizing one of Hilliard’s aging properties into a vibrant residential community,” the company said in a news release. “The redevelopment replaces an outdated use with something the city truly needs: high-quality housing designed for today’s lifestyles.”
The complex at Mill Run, a large development spanning portions of Hilliard and Columbus, will include four three-story apartment buildings. Each building will have an adjacent surface lot, and three parking garages will be located throughout the property.
Two of the buildings will have 36 units each, while the other two will have 24 units each. Plans call for 40 one-bedroom units, each ranging from 730 square feet to 818 square feet; 74 two-bedroom units from 955 square feet to 1,043 square feet; and six three-bedroom units that are 1,480 square feet. Rent will range from $1,550 to $2,950 per month.

“The Reserve at Mill Run will feature spacious floor plans, contemporary interiors and a thoughtfully curated mix of amenities,” the company stated. “Highlights include a fully upgraded clubhouse, a resort-style pool, fitness center, garages, EV charging stations, trash valet and more – all crafted to support a refined and connected lifestyle.”
Site work began in August to prepare for the construction of the apartments. The framing of the first two buildings are scheduled to start within the next month, according to Dune Companies.
The firm expects the clubhouse and first 36-unit building to be constructed by May or June of 2026. The second 36-unit building is scheduled to be completed in July or August of 2026, and the two 24-unit buildings in September or October of 2026.
Mill Run is undergoing a variety of changes, including redevelopment of the former Steak ‘n Shake at 3635 Data Point Court, which will host two tenants that have yet to be announced. It is also preparing to welcome a luxury pet hotel and research and development facility.
