How many apartments could a developer get in this building? It's already got parking on the first 8 floors.Macys had about 11 floors of space at about 230k square feet. https://www.commercialcafe.com/commercial-property/us/oh/cincinnati/the-macy-s-building/

Most of the downtown jobs are headed too Sprindale like 470 out of 500.Mason is getting 600 new jobs with Macy's closing a Arizona call center.Sucks for downtown for sure though.Guessing Macy's wants too sell the downtown building and get the property tax bill off thier expense sheet. https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/i-team/macys-to-close-corporate-headquarters-in-downtown-cincinnati

Looking at the city planning commission packet 1-24-20.Looks to be around 550,000 sq feet of developemt in the works between the 3 proposed sites.Guessing 150-200 million in additional development outside the stadium. https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/planning/about-city-planning/city-planning-commission/

Good bet Meg Whitman came aboard the ownership group for first dibs at development around the stadium.Her development company associate capitals has done a few billionaire dollar developments and is growing. https://www.bignewsnetwork.com/news/248889689/meg-whitman-scoops-up-big-sf-site-in-latest-instance-of-the-ultra-rich-backing-real-estate-development

Medspace is building a food hall on thier campus.Up too 8 establishments with liquor licenses. https://cincinnati-oh.gov/planning/about-city-planning/city-planning-commission/dec-6-2019-packet/…

No specific tenants but 3CDC is investing 59 million in fountain space.Plan appears as 205k sq feet office space 20k commercial.Lots of new jobs in other words. https://cincinnati-oh.gov/planning/about-city-planning/city-planning-commission/dec-6-2019-packet/…

Looks like a 100+ plus new jobs are headed too Walnut Hills.At One Gateway place building 18,000 sq lease. http://www.theclevelandamerican.com/revecore-expands-to-cincinnati-with-the-bls-revecore-service-delivery/article_b57feaf7-868d-5485-805c-899d71dd2e78.html

Some details on Sycamore Street project.Looks like 4 townhouses are included in the plans. https://commercialobserver.com/2019/11/apartment-developer-grabs-38m-construction-deal-in-cincinnati/

That was mostly a ousted ex counry commissioner Chris Monzel's doing.Coast consists of a few fat lawyers who sue the city too fund thier law firm.

Coast is about irrelevant at this point.They don't have the manpower or political influence too get enough signatures on a county wide issue.Toothless and irrelevant organization.

Let's be honest poverty rate and low test scores go hand in hand in any school district.Cincinnati is the highest performing large public school system in ohio.Graduation rate is around 80% up from the low 50's in last decade.It Is what it is.Long way too go.

Well yes suburban school systems have always been better funded in Ohio.School funding in the state has been based on taxing property values for decades.Higher property value more school tax revenue.Thats changing a bit in Cincinnati at least.More wealthy people are moving into and buying in the city proper.Property and home values are increasing in much of the city.

Cincinnati public schools have open enrollment as well as some of the best public schools in the state.Walnut Hills is a school kids move into the city for.So the best kids will be fine in the city.But sure the entire school system needs too raise its standards.It has improved but long long way too go.

Eh? Luxottica Retail headquarters has been based in Mason Ohio for a few decades Lens crafters brand ect.Chiquita left Cincinnati for Charlotte then moved HQ again.Toyota North America Headquarters left Erlanger Ky both over CVG flight concerns.That covers Cincinnati metro HQ losses.
