Court St starting it's revitalizion? Nepali resturaunt Bridges is opening it's second location downtown on court street. It's original location is in Northside. https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2019/02/28/exclusive-northside-nepali-restaurant-opening.html?iana=hpmvp_cinci_news_headline

So hopefully we might hear about 3cdc plans around April/May? Also a court St pedestrian mall would be awesome, especially as 3cdc begins to rennovate the surrounding historic buildings and adds new retail.

How many stories and how many residential units again?

If anyone attends the liberty street diet meeting with ODOT tonight please keep us updated with what's bring discussed!

I believe this is a 3cdc owned building, but the anchor bar otr has shut down after 7 years of operation.

2 additional bars, Tavern on the Hill and Yesterdays, are shutting down in mt Adams this final weekend Say hello, to the soon to be, prettiest hill side ghost town with elderly empty nesters in all of cincy!

It's so weird because the developers changed hands and fortus group took the lead they sounded very motivated to get this project started in a few months during late summer of 2018. Now development for this project is crawling at a snail's pace...I'm trying to understand why? Is it because the demand for OTR housing has lessened? Does the liberty road diet play any factor? Are they having trouble financing the project?

Do super dense residential projects like the district help preserve some of the older homes and buildings in Clifton? I know UC is experiencing a student population boom and need more housing and alot of historic homes were demolished in the surrounding area to create more dense housing. The district looks like a massive project, so I hope this might calm down some of the historic tear down homes and calm the market for the next decade or so.

You should attend one of the liberty street project community meetings w/ the DOTE repersenatives and show them photographic evidence that they are stating lies and fake news.

When is construction supposed to begin on "the district" project?

Most of the retail in Columbus is centered around short north/high north near the OSU campus, catering to the massive student population. In most tier 2 cities, the that 3 C's are it's definitely a struggle to land large brand retailers in the urban core. What I have definitely noticed is that Columbus and Cincy definitely have a local growing brick and mortar retail community that has been added through gentrification and various start up accelator programs.

So will this task force have any input on the liberty diet as well?

Surprised this wasn't posted by business courier, but it appears Google has leased a space in OTR https://m.facebook.com/549930772/posts/10156151649255773?sfns=mo

Yes, I understand this. But at the end of the day you still need a developer to make an offer on that owners lot in the first place. If there is no interested parties for this lot, then what exactly is the point of tacking on these extra restrictions and regulations to the owner?

Sure, but we are assuming there are a row of developers all lined up waiting to throw offers at this lot. This is still Cincinnati. We are not a large city where developers are just itching like crazy to build.

OTR Community Housing starting a campaign to raise funds to expand there current center on 14th St as well as new adjacent infill building Seen in this Facebook post. https://www.facebook.com/272727967861/posts/10156470866537862/

I hope this is just a temporary parking lot (similar to 3cdc and there construction of the race and liberty parking lot), used as a way to make temporary revenue until a developer make a large sum offer for the lot.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2019/02/11/exclusive-cincinnati-dj-opening-modern-tropical.html?iana=hpmvp_cinci_news_headline Kiss 107 DJ, owner of Engergy Night Club, is opening a new club with, "The Fish Bowl" in the former WG + Kitchen Bar Space. Lets be honest, the Banks is killing it at the moment. Planet Fitness, the bars, the clubs, the restaurants, the beautiful smale park, the gorgeous ferris wheel, the great escape game (Which offers wonderful team building btw)...the banks just offers great entertainment value.

Not sure if it was mentioned here yet or not, but the Monro auto shop on Central parkway next to the new downtown Kroger currently has fencing up around the lot and the small auto shop is being demolished.

Why is Cincy ballet so obsessed with there current location? I feel like they could easily expand with more frontage and a more high tech up to date facility. My girlfriend used to be in the Cincinnati ballet company and complained many times about how outdated everything was... especially compared to other big cities ballet companies. So as to why the ballet is so die hard about this location is sort of head scratching to say the least.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2019/02/08/sundry-vice-co-founder-opening-retro-style-bar-in.html The recently rennovated stafford building done by 3cdc is gaining a new tenant...it's a new bar from the co-owner of sundry and vice. I literally counted, theres about give and take about 40-45 bars in South of liberty alone. I'm also not taking into account restaurants that function as both. Im talking 40 plus bars, in such a packed dense distance. I'm amazed how the majority of these bars are successful, even when the majority of there business is dead on weekdays and solely rely on weekends to make there bulk money. I also imagine otr commercial lease rates are still somewhat affordable I guess which helps.

Parker Williams is opening there 2nd US Location, Everything But the House is moving there HQ, and Saatchi & Saatchi X is already expanding there office space! This is all in the Streitmann building btw.

Plus why would he agree to create his 2nd otr restaurant, announced just weeks ago...

It's easy to say, but alot of these folks (I went to highschool with quite a few people who work in restaurants in otr) either live in the suburbs (Montgomery, Mason, Maderia). They don't live near bus lines or have never rode the bus in there life.

I honestly doubt it's about the business aspect. I think they know that it's slower in the winter regardless.... This probably has to do with there employees. These Restaurant workers who aren't making that much as is, simply cannot afford paying 7-8$ for a parking garage on a consistent basis. That's the reality of the situation.
