BBI Astor Park

Scope of Work

Located next to Lower.com Field, the new BBI Logistics Headquarters is a bold and visually striking addition to the Columbus skyline. With standout architecture that’s easily visible from US-33 and I-670, the interior was designed to reflect the same level of intention and visual impact.

Mid-City Electric was proud to provide all electrical and technology installations for the office fit-out, delivering a high-performance, visually integrated system that complemented the bold design. The open-ceiling concept required careful coordination to ensure all electrical systems were both functional and seamlessly incorporated into the overall aesthetic.

More than 60,000 feet of EMT—ranging from ¾” to 4”—was installed throughout the space. Using angled bends, precise nesting, and conduit racks, the team created clean, high-and-tight layouts that mirrored the building’s distinctive geometry. Lighting played a major role in the space, with custom track lighting cut and threaded on-site for uniformity. Under-cabinet lighting in spaces like the Bourbon Room, Boardroom, and even a hidden bookcase door added to the project’s polished look and required thoughtful routing through nontraditional pathways.

Prefabrication was key to the success of this project—particularly for the track lighting system, which was anchored directly to the deck. This not only improved efficiency but also ensured consistent quality across the building. On the fifth floor, the pitched roof posed a unique challenge: each lighting stem had to be individually field-measured and cut to maintain a level, aligned track system.

Mid-City joined the project after the core and shell were completed by another team, which meant navigating around existing conditions in already-finished areas such as stairwells, bathrooms, and gear rooms.
