January 2, 200619 yr Here's an aerial of the project area, looking west. The Victorian house and the land for the development are on the right. Highway Ave. (KY-8) passes by the property and then curves to the southwest.
January 3, 200619 yr This is west of the city, on the way out of Covington, just where route 8 turns up a hill away from the river. Facinating site. I have wondered about it every time I pass it. Hard to believe they will be above the flood level.

September 30, 200717 yr River House Landing starting in Botany Hills Building Cincinnati, 9/27/07 Rendering from the River House Landing website The River House Landing project now has a website, which includes access to a webcam. Bill and Valerie Ashmore (dba River City Views, LLC) are teaming with Tanner Custom Homes to build the project, which will include 7 luxury townhomes starting at $1,095,000. A renovated Victorian home, which had to be moved to accomodate the project, will also be restored and offered for $795,000. All of the units are still available. In addition to three bedrooms and four baths, each unit will also feature a two-car "tandem" garage, a private elevator, a media room, a rooftop deck and high-end finishes. Because one acre of the plat actually extends underneath the river, the townhomes will also be able to offer private boat docks with each unit. The project is being built between Highway Avenue (KY-8) and the Ohio River, near where the road takes a sharp curve at Swain Court. So far, work has progressed to the foundations being poured.

November 11, 200816 yr What is the status of this project? As of the most recent post from September of 2007 the foundations had been poured.
November 11, 200816 yr I assume they are having a tough time getting qualified buyers. There has not been any progress since they poured the foundations and a few steel beams across each.
November 12, 200816 yr Yeah, I haven't noticed any progress except on restoring the Victorian that they moved. I think Rich is right...probably a victim of the housing market.
July 20, 200915 yr Stalled? They were working on it as of last Friday! They were getting along with the framing, although it was stalled for a considerable amount of time.

The project was just sitting there with some foundation work completed for some time. If they are indeed working on this again then we can move it back to Projects/Construction.
