I think it is just the angle of the original rendering. It looks like there are multiple angles or maybe it could just be the drawing. It is pretty crude. Can't wait to see a computer rendering!

Oh that's nice looking! Finally a condo for Dayton to be proud of! Where did you get this Billy? Is there a larger rendering?

Yes, he was quoted that in 1 of the last 2 articles published in the Enquirer that there would be a possibility of adding additional floors to QCSII which is why I made the statement above. Nicker66, the original proposal called for 37 floors @ 689ft. What caused the height loss? Shorter floor plates? less floors?

^----Oh I agree. Primary reason why I quit posting diagrams on Skyscraperpage. Too many people love to copy and not ask. Guess that's the internet for ya! :shoot:

Ummm, browsing around the internet, I found this. Anyone car to explain? LOL :bang:

Hmm...i have some ideas for this. First off, when did Urban Ohio first appear?

That is awesome news! I thought for sure it was going to get shot down. Good job zoning board!

I doubt it. There is a lot to do to get a large tenant in a project such as this. Chances are it's just been set back a little due to red tape, redesign (remember, they are supposedly adding more floors), bids, etc. Also my guess is that this is going to be a HUGE press release with probably everyone and their baby brother involved. Don't expect this just to be a small Enquirer print. I'm sure they will coordinate this with all local press. I would expect to see an announcement not too long after the 1st of the year.

Wells Fargo inks deal for local office Tuesday, December 11, 2007 - 2:21 PM EST Dayton Business Journal Wells Fargo & Co. is expanding its commercial banking presence in Dayton. The financial services company has signed a lease for its regional commercial banking office in The Pavilions on Washington Village Drive in Washington Township and will move in May 2008. Terri Cowdrey, senior vice president of the Dayton Commercial Banking Group, said the new office will occupy 5,300 square feet of the 10,000-square-foot building. Wells Fargo announced early this summer it would be opening a commercial banking office in Dayton to serve middle-market companies with at least $10 million in revenue. Cowdrey said the commercial banking office has been working out of the Wells Fargo Insurance Group office in downtown Dayton since July. The office will have eight employees including commercial relationship managers, credit analysts and customer support. The move follows the expansion of Wells Fargo commercial banking to Ohio in 2004 with the opening of a regional hub in Cleveland.

I'm not sure how the schools would work, but it wouldn't really matter since Dayton has not annexed land for several years now. :whip:

PMF adds storage building Dayton fabricators' owners anticipate 7,500-square-foot storage building will free up production space. By Thomas Gnau, Staff Writer Saturday, December 08, 2007 DAYTON — If it's sheet metal and a little left of center, Precision Metal Fabrication can handle it. The 191 Heid Ave. fabricator's sheet metal and architectural creations have found homes at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C., the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, the National Medal of Honor Museum and the aviation heritage kiosk at Dayton International Airport, among other jobs, small and large. The company has no long-term contracts. But that doesn't mean it isn't busy. "We usually get the unusual jobs," said John Limberg, PMF co-owner. It calls for space, too. With the help of a $20,000 Dayton government grant, PMF has built a 7,500-square-foot storage building on Heid next to its main building. The storage will free up much-needed production space, Limberg said. MORE: http://www.daytondailynews.com/b/content/oh/story/business/2007/12/07/ddn120807precision.html

Glad we can work this out. :wave:

They both should be.

^---In my opinion it should have been. I think Dayton could have offered mad River Twp residents far superior services than they receive now. I used to live there before the merger along with half my family. After the merger, I got outta Dodge along with most of my family except grandma who can't relocate at her age which brings me to the police experiences that just put the finishing touch on my hatred for Riverside. Let me give ya a hint. 2 break-ins and virtually NO response except "Vote for our police levy next year and we can provide better service" LOL There's actually a 3rd Riverside incident involving a drunk driver Riverside police didn't respond to either. When we reached Dayton city limits, Dayton police were all over the drunk driver who turned out to have multiple warrants and no license. Way to go Riverside. I can just go on and on. LOL Once again, back on topic. :-D

Riverside should have never merged with Mad River twp to begin with, The city is poorly managed, poor police protection (I have 2 personal experiences to justify that statement) and the city wants to overtax everybody and not return anything, which is why I stated small suburb at best. And yes 23,00 is small considering the Dayton suburb populations of Huber, Centerville, Trotwood, Clayton, Beavercreek, Kettering, Miamisburg and so on. Sorry. Didn't mean to go on a rant. I just have a lot to say about Riverside. You can tell they ruffle my feathers. Back on topic.

I just watched this episode tonight (actually it's still on) and I was like wtf?? I jumped on here to see if anyone else noticed it. lol I can't figure why they would use cinci's skyline for metropolis?

Only if they build the Banks in Dayton. is it a deal? :wave:

Yea. That's 86 Lumber. Can't see it anymore because of the wright-flyer wall.
