COLUMBUS, Ohio – Telhio Credit Union is moving its headquarters to 330 Rush Alley in the Columbus Downtown Development Corp.'s Peninsula Office Building, which is a “keystone of the new development” in the historic Franklinton neighborhood, the credit union said.
Telhio will occupy the fifth floor, which is 29,953 square feet, increasing its footprint from its current headquarters by about 3,000 square feet.
The $1.3-billion Telhio noted that when it moved to its current location in 1962, it had 3,200 members and $2.3 million in assets, serving employees of the telephone industry in Ohio with a headquarters office located across the street. Today, Telhio has more than 70,000 members and serves individuals, families, businesses and organizations across more than 20 counties in Ohio.
“As the oldest credit union in Franklin County, we want to ensure we remain grounded in the community, and Franklinton is the oldest settlement in Franklin County,” said Derrick Bailey, president of Telhio Credit Union. “We will have more office space and meeting rooms to accommodate our growing team, dedicated parking, an innovation studio and an inviting employee lounge to fit the needs of our fast-moving and fast-growing organization.”
‘Best Views in City’
Telhio CU said the employee lounge includes a gathering area along with an outdoor balcony area for both socialization and meeting space when the weather permits. The board room overlooks the Scioto Mile Greenway and the downtown skyline and is “one of the best views in the city.”
Telhio CU said branch services currently provided at 96 N. 4th Street will relocate to a new location in Grandview, and a Telhio ATM will remain at the 4th Street location.
