If you're comparing homes across Dublin right now, you've probably noticed the price-per-square-foot numbers don't line up the way they should. A golf-course estate in Muirfield Village and a new condo flat in Bridge Park can carry similar sticker prices while representing almost nothing in common. That's not a data error. It's a symptom of something specific to one corner of the city: Bridge Park is still being built, block by block, and every new block resets what the last one is worth.
This matters if you're shopping for a condo in the Bridge Street District, and it matters even more if you already own one. The comparison you should be running isn't your unit against last year's sales. It's your unit against whatever Crawford Hoying, Daimler Group, or Cameron Mitchell Restaurants announces next.
Bridge Park has been under construction in some form since the mid-2010s, and right now, three separate projects are moving through different stages at once.
The Ellis is the furthest along. It's a condo phase inside J Block, a 5.37-acre expansion along Dale Drive and Bridge Park Avenue developed by Crawford Hoying, the same company behind the original Bridge Park build-out. The Ellis will bring 89 condo flats averaging about 1,425 square feet, priced from roughly $400,000, with a resident pool deck, outdoor fire bowls, and a connected parking garage. The same block also includes a separate four-story building carrying more than 100,000 square feet of office space, where oil and gas producer Cenovus Energy has signed on as anchor tenant, plus new green space and a public art installation. Crawford Hoying's own announcement calls it the next phase for the district.
"The Ellis represents an exciting next chapter for Bridge Park," said founder Brent Crawford.
A few blocks north, Bridge North cleared its final zoning approval from Dublin's Planning and Zoning Commission in July 2026. That project, led by Daimler Group in partnership with Indus Hotels, will add 296 residential units, a 150-room Tempo by Hilton, 75,000 square feet of Class A office space, and 60,000 square feet of retail along Riverside Drive. The hotel is designed as the northern bookend of the district, with two ground-floor restaurants and a shared kitchen built in.
And a third project, a Cameron Mitchell-branded boutique hotel with an adjoining condo tower, is still working through design changes four years after it was first announced. The current plan calls for a seven-story hotel with about 130 guestrooms next to an eight-story tower holding roughly 24 condominiums, four restaurant concepts, a rooftop pool bar, and a 4,000-square-foot ballroom. Panacea Luxury Spa Boutique, a Hilliard-based spa, has signed on for a second location inside the hotel. As of late July 2026, neither Cameron Mitchell Restaurants nor the development partners had a construction timeline to share.
Three projects, three different stages, one shared trait: each one launches with a slightly better version of what came before it.
This is the part that doesn't show up in a listing sheet. When a developer builds a single, finished neighborhood, the comps stay relatively stable because the supply is fixed. Bridge Park doesn't work that way. Every new block is a chance for the developer to add an amenity the last block didn't have and price it competitively enough to move fast.
The Ellis is a clean example. Its price starting point sits well below Dublin's citywide detached-home median, but it's also delivering a resort pool deck and fire bowls that older Bridge Park units simply don't have. A buyer weighing a resale unit from an earlier phase against a new-construction unit at The Ellis is, in practice, choosing between yesterday's amenities and this year's, often at a similar price per square foot.
Bridge North pushes this further by adding an entirely new category of draw: a national hotel brand and dedicated retail space on the same block as new housing, something the earlier phases didn't have. Once Bridge North opens, it becomes the next reference point for anyone shopping the district, not the units that came before it.
The Cameron Mitchell project, still unsettled after multiple redesigns since 2022, is the reminder that this cycle doesn't have a fixed endpoint. The plan has already swapped a condo tower for an office building and back again. Buyers treating Bridge Park as a finished product are working from an assumption the development history doesn't support.
Here's how the current landscape breaks down, using the most recent figures available for each segment:
| Segment | Recent price signal | What it's actually measuring |
|---|---|---|
| Dublin citywide (detached homes) | Median sale price near $636,000 in March 2026, per Redfin, at roughly $232 per square foot | A blend of decades-old subdivisions, golf-course estates, and new construction |
| Muirfield Village | Median sale price around $745,000 as of last fall, at about $234 per square foot | Golf-course lots designed around Jack Nicklaus's Muirfield Village Golf Club, largely built out for decades |
| The Ellis (Bridge Park, J Block) | Starting around $400,000 for units averaging 1,425 square feet | New construction with resort-style amenities, still under construction as of mid-2026 |
Notice that Muirfield's per-square-foot price and Dublin's citywide per-square-foot price are nearly identical, which makes sense given how much of the citywide figure Muirfield's volume contributes. The Ellis breaks that pattern entirely: a smaller footprint, a lower entry price, and an amenity package that has nothing to do with lot size or golf course frontage. It's priced like a different product, because it is one.
If you're looking at a resale condo in an earlier Bridge Park phase, the question worth asking isn't just "what did comparable units sell for last year." It's "what is under construction two blocks away, and what will it offer that this unit doesn't." A resale unit competing against The Ellis needs to either undercut it on price or make up the difference in finished square footage, view, or walkability to specific restaurants and retail that a new building hasn't secured yet.
If you're looking at pre-construction pricing at The Ellis itself, remember that Bridge North is coming online with its own residential component and a national hotel brand attached. That's a second wave of new supply landing in the same corridor within a similar window. New supply arriving close together usually means more negotiating room for buyers and more pressure on sellers holding older inventory, not less.
If you bought into an earlier Bridge Park phase, whether that was one of the original blocks near the AC Hotel or a more recent build, your resale comp isn't static. It shifts every time Crawford Hoying, Daimler Group, or another developer opens a new leasing or sales office in the district. That's not a reason to panic about value. Dublin's broader market has held up, and the amenities that made your unit attractive (walkability to the North Market, the Dublin Link pedestrian bridge, proximity to the Scioto River) don't disappear because a newer building went up.
But it does mean the marketing story for a resale listing has to work harder than "walkable to Bridge Park." It needs to acknowledge what a buyer is choosing to give up, whether that's a rooftop pool or ground-floor retail, and make the case for why your unit's finished history, established HOA, or specific location outweighs the newer alternative. That's a pricing and staging conversation worth having before a listing goes live, not after it's been sitting for 60 days against a project like The Ellis.
Bridge Park's continued growth is genuinely good news for Dublin. It's also the reason a condo purchase there behaves less like buying into a finished neighborhood and more like buying into a district that's still deciding what it wants to be. Knowing which phase you're buying into, and what's coming next, is the difference between a good deal and a comp you're chasing.
