A developer best known for suburban housing has struck a deal to build apartments and condominiums near Capitol Square in a bid to create affordable housing in downtown Columbus.

Mayor Michael B. Coleman was expected to unveil in his March 13 State of the City address that Lifestyle Communities Ltd. will spend $25 million to build 130 apartments and 76 condos on 2.8 acres along South Front Street between West Town and Rich streets.

The project will target a market of young, professional workers with condos selling for less than $200,000 on average and rent beginning at $750 a month...
