Upper Arlington's Shops on Lane Avenue Splits Old Anchor Into Three Tenants

The Shops on Lane Avenue in Upper Arlington is subdividing its former Bed Bath and Beyond space among three new tenants, Solidcore, Piccolo Buco and Pause, while separately adding Anthropologie, CAVA, goGLOW and a Weddings boutique, according to the property's own site and multiple retail-press reports published this month.

A Landlord's Own Site Confirms Four Names

The shopping center's own site, at West Lane Avenue and Beaumont Road and managed by an affiliate of Kimco Realty, lists Anthropologie, CAVA, goGLOW and Pause as "coming soon" on its store directory. The same page shows Warby Parker as already open. Anthropologie's own listing gives a specific suite, 1705 West Lane Avenue, Suite D7, in Upper Arlington.

That address detail matters because it comes from the landlord's own directory, not a secondhand account of an announcement. WhatNow Columbus reported on August 25, 2026, that the coming Anthropologie will span about 9,000 square feet and is expected to open in late spring 2027, combining the retailer's standard apparel and home-goods lines with Anthropologie Weddings, its bridal division that sells gowns, bridesmaid dresses and wedding decor.

The Old Anchor Box Splits Three Ways

Separately, WhatNow Columbus reported on August 27, 2026, that the boutique fitness chain Solidcore will occupy space inside the shopping center's former Bed Bath and Beyond box at 1675 West Lane Avenue, the same address where Piccolo Buco and the wellness center Pause are also opening. That means one vacated big-box anchor is being carved into at least three smaller storefronts instead of being re-let to a single retailer, a shift the Colliers Columbus weekly commercial real estate review also flagged on August 28, 2026, describing renovations underway at a former anchor location being subdivided for new occupants.

No single source lays out that full three-way split. Combining the landlord's own listings with two separate retail-press stories and the Colliers review is what shows the pattern.

Cooper's Hawk Brings a Rome Original to Ohio

The most distinctive of the new tenants is Piccolo Buco, a Neapolitan-style pizza concept that WhatNow Columbus reported on July 23, 2026, will make its Ohio debut at the Upper Arlington plaza. The original Piccolo Buco opened in Rome in 1916. Cooper's Hawk Winery and Restaurants founder Tim McEnery visited that Rome location in 2019, then partnered with owner Luca Issa to bring the concept to the United States, and Upper Arlington would be its first location outside the Chicago area and Florida. WhatNow Columbus did not report a firm opening date, saying construction work was still ongoing at the site.

What the Center Already Delivered

The shopping center's own directory lists Warby Parker as open now, alongside longer-standing tenants that are not part of this leasing wave. The property's own site describes the center as offering "the perfect balance of neighborhood feel and downtown appeal," positioning it as a mixed shopping and dining destination near Grandview Heights.

What CREN Could Not Confirm

Neither the landlord's site nor any of the retail-press reports named a total redevelopment cost or how much retail square footage in total is changing hands across the five incoming tenants. WhatNow Columbus said Anthropologie did not respond to its requests for comment on opening details, and it reported the same about Solidcore. CREN could not independently verify a lease-signing date for any of the five incoming tenants beyond what each outlet or the property's own site disclosed.

What to Watch Next

The clearest next checkpoint is Anthropologie's stated late-spring 2027 opening, since its size and address are already confirmed on the landlord's own directory. Whether Solidcore, Piccolo Buco and Pause open on a similar timeline, and whether the old anchor box's renovation stays on the schedule Colliers described, will show whether this becomes a full repositioning of the center or a slower, tenant-by-tenant fill-in.
