The Enquirer article before it was updated 26 story hotel tower sitting upon a 6 story podium of retail and lobby space.That has since been removed so IDK.

The article states the hotel tower will be 26 stories tall standing stop a 6 story podium.The article could well be referencing the height of the hotel tower only.It is the Enquirer their details are constistently lacking.Add 6 stories too the 300 ft of the hotel tower and that very well could end up at 360-400 feet tall building.

32 story 300 foot addition to the skyline is still pretty solid.

The way I read the article it will be a 26 storie hotel tower on top of a 6 storie podium at 300 feet tall.

New visuals for the $470 million project show a 300-foot-tall, glass-clad hotel tower with a six-story podium rising on the current site of a surface parking lot at Fifth and Plum streets. Designed by architecture firms Cooper Carry and Moody Nolan, the 635,000-square-foot structure will house 800 rooms, flexible meeting space and nearly 15,000 square feet of ground-floor leasable retail space Atlanta-based Portman Holdings and Cincinnati Center City Development Corp., also known as 3CDC, said preliminary site work will begin in January with an official groundbreaking scheduled for the second quarter of 2025 https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2024/12/18/cincinnati-inches-closer-to-building-470-million-convention-hotel/76958872007/

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5965028/2024/12/03/caitlin-clark-jeff-berding-cincinnati-nwsl-expansion/ Somewhat related to West End development with TQL stadium likely adding a new team in 2026. If you ask Jeff Berding where the inspiration to bring an NWSL franchise to Cincinnati stems from, the seasoned sports executive will take you back to 2015. That’s when he and Carl Lindner III launched FC Cincinnati, now a club in Major League Soccer, but then a team entering the second-division United Soccer League. “Having a women’s team is something we’ve always talked about. It was just about the timing,” Berding, co-lead of NWSL Cincinnati’s expansion bid, tells The Athletic. “We’ve had conversations over the years, but it wasn’t the right time because our core was still being strengthened to the point that we could take on a new franchise.” But now, after a decade-long buildup, he says, “FC Cincinnati is well positioned, with proven infrastructure, to help take NWSL to a new level.” The group’s bid received a significant boost last week when WNBA Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark joined their investment group, and again when their bid was named a finalist to land what would be the NWSL’s 16th franchise. The other two finalists are nearby Cleveland, which previously unveiled plans to build a $150million stadium for a prospective NWSL club, and Denver, which, unlike both cities in Ohio, has said little publicly since announcing its bid in 2023. The Cincinnati proposal is the only one publicly backed by an MLS club, meaning the would-be NWSL team would share access to the city’s three-year-old TQL Stadium. The proposal includes building a new training facility exclusively for the women’s team, with the group actively pursuing $5million in public funds for a development site. “We have the ability to hit the ground running and be one of the top performing NWSL franchises, from a business and facility perspective, right out of the gate,” said Berding, who is also co-CEO of FC Cincinnati, which he founded after 19 years with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals. The proposed training facility would be based in the suburbs of Hamilton County, which includes much of the city centre, and would “mirror” FC Cincinnati’s $30million Mercy Health training center in Milford, on the eastern outskirts of town. The 24-acre facility includes three full-size, floodlit soccer fields, and a 30,000-square-foot, multilevel building that houses the team. While the facility would not be ready in time for the 2026 season, the ownership group envisions the NWSL club having access to the site’s fields for training while buildings on the property are constructed, similar to how FC Cincinnati functioned when they first joined MLS in 2019. “We will have access to the site and have fields there ready to go for the 2026 season,” Berding said. “The construction of the facility would still be underway, but we would use, effectively, a temporary building on-site to house the locker room and meeting rooms and medical suite, etc., while the primary building is underway.

Worst kept secret in town.This one is going to Cincinnati not because it won it over Cleveland.Just Cincinnati is years ahead with a established MLS team and soccer infrastructure.

Some phase 2 details per CBC https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/11/20/fc-mixed-use-development-tql-stadium-design-photos.html FC Cincinnati in the schematic design documents released Nov. 20 named Atlanta-based Davidson Hospitality Group as the hotel management partner. The development’s second phase, referenced vaguely in the club’s TMUD application, could include around 1 million square feet of additional development comprising five more buildings including multifamily residential units, a multistory office building, another hotel and a retail and restaurant building. Demolition work on the first phase footprint will commence in December and be complete by June 2025. The club will only move forward with the development if it receives the TMUD award, which is expected to be announced in the coming months. MORE: FC Cincinnati to demolish historic beer tunnels for $300M mixed-use district FC Cincinnati’s TMUD application noted the club has committed tenants for both buildings, including office, hotel, retail, medical and restaurant tenants as well as an entertainment venue tenant. The names of the tenants are redacted in the copy of the TMUD application obtained by the Business Courier. An FC Cincinnati representative has not responded to a request to name them. Previously announced development partners include Marquee, North American Properties, Lion Ventures and Sanders Development Group.

Cleveland probably does have a "promise" for a NWSL franchise.Just not a realistic path to have a expansion team ready to play in a new stadium by 2026 in Cleveland.They do not even have the needed public funding in place to make it happen.FC is getting the bid because they do have everything in place for a team to start play in 26.

That is in their long term planning a year round destination of entertainment with about 1200 residential units around the first 2-3 blocks of TQL. Yeah no doubt a amended community benefits agreement will be in the pipeline with the new woman's franchise.FC Cincinnati ownership has paid off the Cincinnati Ballet, Music Hall, West End Community Council tens of millions and several others single digit millions.Just the cost of doing business for them nothing new.

People around FC Cincinnati say they will be getting the bid fwiw.Already have stadium upgrades at TQL designed ready to be bid out.Also sounds like the women's team will have their own training facility out in Milford.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/11/13/otr-apartment-development-property-advisors-group.html Property Advisors Group plans to build two mixed-use buildings in Over-the-Rhine. The project includes 111 market-rate apartments and commercial spaces. Community council is opposed due to parking concerns, delaying construction. A third attempt to develop a difficult but critical site in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood is in the works. Property Advisors Group, a Cleveland-area developer, wants to build a pair of mid-rise mixed-use apartment buildings at the northwest corner of Vine Street and Central Parkway, located at the northern fringe of downtown Cincinnat. The development site comprises seven parcels consolidated into two narrow pieces of property, the first making up the surface parking lot in front of the ArtWorks mural of Jim Tarbell, the second underlying a vacant two-story office building along Central Parkway. The properties are separated by Door Alley, which the proposed seven-story mixed-use buildings would straddle. “They’re relatively small parcels, and we’re trying to make the most of them,” Ben Brannan, of Cleveland-based Geis Cos., the project’s design/build firm, told the Over-the-Rhine Community Council’s board of trustees in October. The project would bring a total of 111 market-rate apartments – 36 studios, 46 one-bedroom units and 29 two-bedroom units – as well as a rooftop terrace and ground-floor amenity spaces. Several ground-floor commercial spaces would also be constructed and leased to restaurants or retail tenants
