Alive & Well is an awesome spot! Not sure if college kids can afford $15 cocktails but maybe they’ve got a different vibe planned for that location

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/09/10/hamilton-county-buy-mercy-headquarters-bond-hill.html This is probably best case scenario from Mercy Health backing out from their deal in Bond Hill. Especially the building that was Hamilton Co. JFS can be redeveloped into some condos/apartments. I live close to the East Walnut Hills building that will also be included in sale and I could see that being turned into apartments as well. Overall, seems like a net positive from a s**tty situation.

Gotcha that makes sense. From what I’ve read it seems like the hotel is an eventuality but there have not been concrete plans on the timing of it.

Are they not building the Hard Rock hotel there? Thought I had read that somewhere

Oof, not ideal then!

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/09/09/ackermann-onsite-retail-madamore-madisonville.html About time they changed up the strategy here. It’s been like 4 years and they have almost no commercial tenants. I heard the developers were trying to charge prime OTR prices which is just ridiculous. Article said that the apartments are 93% leased so they really shouldn’t have an issue filling commercial space if they are more reasonable with their valuation of their property.

As far as I know it’s still happening. Courts did delay this project by about 2 years. It takes a while to get projects off the ground.

It’s a slow process but I bet in about 10 years, north of Liberty will be unrecognizable. Would be really cool to see the brewery finish up in the Mohawk district and start seeing some development connected up that way.

275 loop?

They’ve got 1 tenant! Lol Madbolic gym

Idk what is going to change from the previous tax credit requests. Not sure if they are expecting more money from the state this go around or what but yeah doesn’t sound like there’s a lot of urgency on this one.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/08/19/walnut-hills-apartment-park-avenue-campus-managmnt.html woah, I thought for sure these plans were dead. Massive project for walnut hills. I live about a couple blocks away and I’m very interested to see how this will fare across from the Marathon. s**t gets super sketchy there as well as the Top Up gas station.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/08/19/taft-brewery-now-mellotone-beer-project-3cdc-otr.html the plans for this place sound incredible! Very excited for it. here’s a snippet from the article “There will be two concepts under one roof. The lower level of the Mellotone space will be a neighborhood bar called Undertone. It will have mid-century modern design elements along with a small stage for live music. The main floor will house Mellotone’s restaurant with a golden hour-like glow and views of the brewery. The mezzanine level will be transformed into an indoor beer garden with communal seating, abundant greenery and space to watch sports and play pool or darts.“

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/08/14/hyde-park-square-redevelop-plk-loring-northpointe.html did not see this coming, lot of powerhouses working together on this.

I’m pretty ignorant on this topic so could someone explain to me what would happen to the govt square station? Would it be redeveloped into something else or still remain a bus stop?

Have a buddy that works with 3CDC, and he confirmed that a new tenant signed a lease at the former Taft’s brewery in OTR. Unsure of details other than it also being a restaurant/bar. Happy to hear something is going in there though, too nice of a spot to be vacant.

Four Seasons confirmed! /s

Sure hope so! Pulling for them to pull through on canopy (by Hilton) hotel plan. Looked up that brand and they have a really nice aesthetic.

Hoping the continued decrease in inflation and decline of interest rates will get some developers back in the game. I know quite a few that wanted to build but have been deterred/delayed their plans because of the high costs due to inflated interest rates + inflated costs of materials.

Yeah I remember someone alluding to it being under a different name, just was checking if there was update on that

Any update on whether it’s still Pendry running this hotel?

As far as I know, it’s still a go, but could be wrong. Project got delayed by over a year due to NIMBYs suing to try to claim the building to be demolished was historic. This completion date is definitely not accurate anymore but still up on website. https://www.moment-development.com/boutique-hotel-otr

Didn’t know that about base camp, that would be pretty awesome if we could pull Germany. 2027 is likely a more attainable goal for hosting all star game as the Central Parkway phase 1 “should” be developed as will some FC mixed use + boutique hotel next to the Pitch.

Well we aren’t hosting anything for FIFA so that doesn’t really matter tbh. Only way we were going to be eligible is if we made millions of dollars of temporary changes to Paycor stadium. But that makes sense that they would do this in phases and increase scale of project ad hoc if additional funding is secured.
