A Columbus developer and builder are back with a new Tipton Lakes housing project for individuals age 55 and older.
Plans for the Village at Tipton Lakes call for about 70 single-family homes along with duplexes on 20 acres at the northwest corner of Carr Hill Road and Champion Drive, said Tom Hooker, builder and owner of Tom Hooker Construction. The location is west of Interstate 65 on the city’s west side.
Land developer Jeffrey Bush and his son Shawn are involved in the project, while Hooker’s wife Lindsey is designing the properties with her Creative Concepts Planning & Design Inc. firm.
The 20-acre property is owned by Carr Road Development LLC, according to records from the Bartholomew County assessor’s office. Hooker said the Carr Road LLC is owned by the Bushes.
Bush said he and his son will develop the infrastructure, while the Hookers will be responsible for construction. The project is being brought to Tipton Lakes since it currently doesn’t have a 55 and older community, he said.
“It brings in an element of Tipton Lakes that’s missing,” Bush said.
