A lot of Hyde Park baby sitting mostly.Verdict still not in though recommender for approval.

I have been following this one pretty closely. The Sundance board has said many times in their interviews about the expense involved in hosting the festival in a "mountain town".And getting more exposure for their festival.Cincinnati has both in spades. Also I know through the grapevine that the former Sundance CEO has a residence in OTR that can not hurt the bid IMHO

I believe it Sundance has lost millions in 4 of the last 5 years.Cincinnsti checks a lot of boxes for making the festivals footprint larger and it's just a lot more affordable to host a festival for hosts and patrons both in Cincinnati. https://www.causeiq.com/organizations/sundance-institute,870361394/

City has committed $5 million per year over 10 years.Hamilton County also has put $2 million in this years county budget. Last fall, Cincinnati City Council allocated $5 million to support the bid. It will be allocated over 10 years.“City leaders have said they want Sundance, and now we’re putting our money where our mouth is,” council member Seth Walsh said in October. In January, Mayor Aftab Pureval personally attended the Sundance Festival to emphasize the city's commitment. "I’m out here because we take this opportunity very seriously,” Pureval said. “The Recommended Budget allows for … the use of one-time resources to enable the County to play a role in catalytic community and economic development efforts being proposed,” the budget states. $5 million has been allocated to develop and prepare a site within the county for the construction of a new National Women’s Soccer League franchise. $2 million has been allocated for grant funding to assist in securing the Sundance Film Festival to Hamilton County

It is more than just the festival involved with this.The headquarters for the Sundance Institute would come to Cincinnati along with it.Between 45 to 50 jobs based in OTR. And yes untold number of new films and jobs will come with this relocation.

Yeah it will. Sundance has a world stage and world audience that follows it.The only other event with the prestige and attention that Cincinnati has or ever had is the Cincinnati Open imo.

I mean this goes back a decade plus ago when the assclown Governor Kasich took the federal money $40 million plus awarded to the Cincinnati streetcar and sent that money to Northeast Ohio highway project. And let's not forget the $100 million he sent back to the federal government for the 3C rail project that would have been up and running years ago.Dewine at least has a functional brain.

Looks like Elon and Trump cut some Cincinnati federal offices leases off. Anyone know the workforce numbers in these federal offices? The bureau of Prisons building is 36 e7th slated for apartment renovations. Main Agency Location Annual Lease Cost Total Savings Bureau of Prisons Cincinnati $75,739 $30,295 Office of Labor Managment Standards Cincinnati $102,456 $145,145 Railroad Retirement Board Cincinnati$31,416$0 Small Business Administration Cincinnati$49,014$32,676 National Archives Center Fairfield $478,213$39,851

Cincinnati as the host city for Sundance will do just as much for the Sundance Film Festival as the Sundance Film Festival will do for the city itself. Park City Utah has around 4 million people with 500 miles of it.Cincinnati has around 120 million people within 500 miles of it's city limits. With all the venue spaces available in OTR the festival being over a 11 day period Sundance will grow exponentially larger and reach a much broader audience at a more affordable price point. The city will grow the Sundance festival and honestly all of Cincinnati art non profits will make for some fascinating collaborations with the Sundance Institute.

Almost certain the development at this site could not be built to the current projects height and specs because the lagering tunnels could not support the weight of the development.Let me look for specifics The lagering vaults, according to that document, were to become a restaurant or a bar with “vast skylights and monumental stairs leading down into the space.” FC Cincinnati scrapped that vision sometime between 2021 and late 2022, when it presented the new concept plan to the West End Community Council. It contracted with O'Rourke Wrecking in spring 2023 to demolish the building to grade level. Now, the club wrote in its demolition grant application, “the location of the stone vaults interferes with the new building foundations. The vaults must be excavated and demolished so that the new building will have a solid foundation. Extensive shoring and backfill is necessary to remove the vaults. https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/09/06/fc-cincinnati-mixed-use-district-demo-beer-tunnels.html?utm_source=sy&utm_medium=ptr&utm_campaign=local12

This location is caddy corner to the old Pogues Service building which is in line for 120 units and renovation.Adding 57 units to this and this block starts picking up some momentum.

Historic Zoning Board gave them the 60 day continuance.Alter the design time is what it is

Probably none 71 parking spots for 116 units. The project will yield 116 mixed-income residential units and 71 on-site parking spots in a lot created behind one of the existing buildings. A roof deck will be constructed, as well as an outdoor patio

Pretty much yeah the restaurant space will be reused as such again and The historic Grammer’s restaurant and bar on Walnut Street will serve as a commercial anchor. A second ground-floor restaurant space will front Walnut Street south of Grammer’s

Or these new ones.

Yes but it also has negatives for development. Not receiving the state TMUD credits. I think their ask was for $12 million extends the project timeline 2-3 years out for the residential highrise.Instead of the hotel opening recently as a standalone development the hotel and 14 story residential highrise would be opening up this spring together. Trinitas is a large national developer with several projects near college campuses around the states. Not getting tax credits pushes the timeline back as the project gets done in piecemeal phases.

Commercial continuity is a company's ability to keep delivering products or services after a disruption. This could be a natural disaster, power outage, or cyberattack.

Only thing I seem to recall about the District project in recent memory is that project applying for state TMUD tax credits and missing out on them.That was inot in the latest round of applications. They missed out on those credits and built the hotel first.I would think with the hotel now open the student high rise will be built next.

That I do not know.I would assume so given that the on campus enrollment at UC is growing by 800-2000 new students physically being on main campus every year. I do know that the city is taking proposals from developers wanting to add 5-7k units near UC within the next 5 years.UC is booming and has been for a few decades.

Uptown Rentals and North American Properties own most of the land and have demolished several parcels.Trinitas is stepping in with a lot more building capital to build a much bigger development with them jointly again fwiw.This is close to a billion dollar project.

Take it fwiw. Trinitas the developer of the HUB apartments is looking to add more student housing in the area a lot apparently. Trinitas has a proposal into the city for development of McMillan, Auburn, Hollister & Vine Streets for additional student housing. The proposal is for up to 2500 units and 3500 beds.

Due to open in late spring.With the new Public Radio Building in Evanston both will be the first large mass timber built facilities in the area.Both are very impressive designs though Public Radio Building is more than twice the size comes in at 35k sf to FotoFocus at 15k sf.
