"art deco style"... makes this guy sad

^ ha! i was just typing the same thing.... so unfortunate the way the park hits dunhumby. Dunhumby spent so much money on their building and thought about how it would expand down into the parking garage if needed, how the stich connected it to the city and the views out... they would have totally designed it different had they know there was going to be a giant city park directly to their west. the Mural is not cutting it. i would rather sacrifice 20-30' of park space and get a ribbon of building that faced the park and made the thing look finished like this skinny cafe building along the edge of citygarden sculpture park in st louis:

newport!

thats a lot of 1 bedroom units with the bathrooms only accessible from bedrooms...

You haven't been to the cool nature preserve at findlay Market???

i know its not the point of the renderings, but why is the context so off on all these views? - plum street shifted east 70' - buildings on far left side of image replaced with trees - tire discounters HQ corner building gone - 4th & race apartments replaced with the historic Textile building - 600 vine highrise gone

my mom used to collect Cats Meow buildings - had a bunch of little houses and a quaint downtown. i always remember looking at them at the store when she was picking out new ones to buy and there was always this abomination in the Cincinnati/local building section... looks like it is finally accurate!

or do a better contemporary version if it cant be all brick. morris adjmi-style

could argue it both ways... "not every building can be the flashy admiral with the fancy hat and shiny uniform - sometimes we just need soldiers" robert a m stern i wish the ground level had a bit more going on, but otherwise, this is an ok soldier for OTR. to the other point, this is a prominent location... maybe an admiral should have been called in

there is definitely too much going on. the crenelated/historic portion should be the tallest & most prominent. and the building needs a better base/middle/cap. i would lower the top floor height and push the portions of the top floor on either side of the tower far back - maybe add a trellis across the front, get rid of the ground level railings altogether, switch out the windows and make the top floor and insets a darker metal panel/hardi/ceramic tile and keep the main parts brick & stone. even then, i still dont care for it

but that one house has its own pool!

cutting commute time for west side to airport - check opening delhi-area retail & restaurants to nky residents - check reducing dependency on I-75 & reducing congestion - check connecting region - check never gonna happen - check

hilltop to hilltop - no going down to the river! it could go from the airport interchange to the hill east of Mt St. Joe... Viaduct de Millau - style!

getting rid of all the nonsense random cladding helps a lot... 5 minutes in photoshop to look at a design option or two shouldn't break the bank. and putting siding up in a normal way would probably save time and money - and remove a bunch of J-channels/leak points

it looks great except for... the color, the random siding orientation, the flush-mount white vinyl windows, the complete lack of depth on the façade, the grass going right up to the base of the building....

^ maybe they will fur a portion of that wall out and burry your photos like they once did with the charley harper mosiac - and then uncover it it decades later.

yeah - its a bummer it couldn't have been down on the riverfront as originally proposed - back in the 90's???. would have been really neat to see it juxtaposed against the paddlewheel monument. At some point the Navy informed the group that the entire sub could not be displayed since some things were still classified or something along those lines. So it became an effort to preserve the sail/cone. then at some point after that, Newport was interested in adding it to the Levee. glad it is finally moving forward and at least the site at VOA makes some since.

maybe just the cincinnati-pride pounded into me, but i really like kroger. even with added competition, i dont foresee prices coming down that much. its not like meijer is any cheaper, and any grocer with less purchasing power is not going to be able to compete with kroger. i cant speak to the cincinnati stores since its been a long time since i moved from oakley, but most of the northern ky stores are pretty new or recently remodeled. i am always relieved to be back in the land of kroger after an extended trip where they do not exist. back to hebron - the remke was built/developed by toebben in hopes of supporting their mega residential development down the road of Rivers PointE... but that was delayed for road widening, roundabout construction and then city water upgrades on top of the economy and covid. they just built the retail too soon.

my theory is they are overlapping their footprint in an attempt to prevent being bought out the same way regulators are debating kroger's aquisition of safeway. overlap now so when kroger inevitably pushes into florida with either expansion or aquisition, Publix is not as easy of an option to buy out/merge. why else poke the bear by moving into cincinnati? unless they want to get bought out?

i live about 5 minutes from this... hoping that top little building is a starbucks or dunkin. we already have a lot of fast food in hebron (and a REALLY high number of vape shops for some reason), so unless the restaurant is totally new to the area its going to be duplicating stuff just down the road. what hebron doenst have is any mid-tier/ fast casual sit down places (besides chipelto!) like McAlisters or panera or schlotztkys or applebees... and we do not have a Greaters! I'm having a tough time thinking what type of in-line retail is going to fill that larger box. The only thing we seem to be able to support out here is Dollar Tree. and the only clothing retailer we have is Gap outlet. used to be a Remke and two independent grocers and a buskin, but Kroger moved in and thats that.

i still ask the family if they want chipelto! - the kids dont even think twice - just dad mispronouncing chipotle again...
