The venture is a partnership between Westwood Collective and Around The Clock Hospitality. Plans call for transforming the existing 2,252-square-foot former Chase Bank building and connecting it to a new two-story addition. The land acquisition is expected to wrap up in November, with construction starting soon after and an opening targeted for the first quarter of 2028.

Developers plan to preserve aspects of the original building, including converting the bank vault into a wine cellar. The venue will include a dining area, a bar, a dedicated pasta-making room, and an open kitchen centered around a wood-fired Argentinian-style grill. The space will accommodate 140 indoor guests along with 34 outdoor seats.

Around The Clock Hospitality co-founder Benjamyn Greig said he grew up roughly 1.5 miles from the location and identified a need for an upscale restaurant in the area. The hospitality group previously collaborated with Westwood Collective founder Andy Warnock on The Clocktower Kitchen + Bar in Plain City.

Lira Italian Kitchen will serve as an anchor for Westwood Collective’s broader development site, which will span approximately 22,847 square feet across three buildings. The overall project incorporates commercial space, 11 residential apartments on upper levels, and 39 parking spaces.
