the way those bad boys are "potentially selling" they should bump it up 100 floors or so. where does Koolhaas fit into the local architecture scene?

if thats not cincinnati vernacular...i dont know what is! holy crap! good ole log cabin right in the middle of a hunking parking lot

ha

so i forget...is western and southern planning on moving into the new space whether it be phase one or phase two? i understand that these companies are owned by them, but i guess i never understood if moving themself was in the plan or not.

very cool...i wish it said how much space they will be leasing. unless i just missed it

i think that is a misconception that a lot of people have...that it will be a newport on the levee

well that corner is definately the most interesting portion of the addition

too bad it wont actually fit the site that way...seems like there is a whole lot more going on at the ground levels with parking, amenities etc.

extensive scaffolding going up today...looks like we'll finally see some action on those facades

it will still be a part of the "money" skyline shot coming down the hill...so that makes it ok for me

ha...looks like that thing will be/has been a nightmare to design

awesome historic photos though... a completely different place

^ amen brother!

cool

well piece that with the yard waste fill and you have quite a bit of land...have never heard anything of this through my blue ash channels however

well i guess at least it is not dead

^my sentiments exactly. although...i think its pretty obvious that their objection is moving out of alignment with 5th street. i apparently had misunderstood the fountain to have been further down closer to government square when the original location was actually not too far from where it is now? council sure did crush them!

^interesting points. i have seen a lot of for rent signs in front of houses on the west side though

yeah, thats pretty good stuff

thats a pretty amazing image

i think they should leave that green net up. it compliments the square very nicely

i was walking by there today and they were putting up a sign for an open house of some sort. i didnt catch the date though

Cincinnati bashing aside.

its wierd that a lot of buildings in cincinnati look short and squatty because their first 3 floors are hidden by some sort of super highway. i have just always noticed that about phase one especially driving fww which is the vantage point from which 90 percent of people witness downtown. does glazing a building of this size usually take so long?

very dramatic
