PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Zora’s House is a local non-profit in Weinland Park serving women of color professionals, artists, activists, academics, and entrepreneurs as a coworking space, a safe space, a learning space, and a community.
Through innovative programming and shared community space, Zora’s House – the first and only coworking space and leadership incubator in Ohio created by and for women of color – works to ensure the full participation of Black women and other women of color in the civic, economic, and cultural life of our community.
Since its founding in 2018, Zora’s House has helped over 3,000 women of color to connect with mental health resources; navigate job losses and other COVID-19 related transitions; incubate businesses; and activate their leadership in their families, neighborhoods, and workplaces
Building on this foundation, Zora’s House is building a 10,000 square foot community hub that will serve as a center for leadership, innovation, and empowerment centering on women of color; and act as a community-led economic development engine for Black, Latina, AAPI, Indigenous and other women of color across Central Ohio.
Marker Construction has been selected as the Construction Manager at Risk for the Zora’s House 2.0 project. This new facility will be located at 1395 N 4th St, Columbus, OH 43201. Construction Documents have been prepared by Moody Nolan, Columbus, OH. We are excited to have the unique opportunity to build a brand new home for such a remarkable organization. We believe that Zora’s House will continue to have a great impact on women of color in our community and beyond!
