Lazarus shared some info a while back. Adriatico's owner is building a new structure for the restaurant with an outdoor beer garden. Then they're going to rent out existing location to a different tenant.

Actually thinking back to the conversation I had 6~ months ago, the person mentioned that if they were able to buy Mr. Tuxedo that they might tear down the existing Adriatico's. For what (more parking?) I don't know, as I have not physically seen the plans. Obviously there is enough land here to do apartments above a new restaurant but again I have not seen the actual drawings. The problem with building apartments above would be providing enough parking for the tenants in addition to the restaurant. Keep in mind that the restaurant employees already park on the dirt lot created by the most recent house demolition.

Does this mean that Adriatico's is now the owner (through 3 separate LLCs) of the properties from 107-113 W McMillan? Anybody know what their plans are for the whole site?

• 113 W McMillan - acquired by "McMillan LLC" 11/25/2009, with mailing address at 2985 Grandin (I think this is supposed to be 2985 Lower Grandin since there is no address of 2985 Grandin)

• 109 W McMillan - acquired by "109 West McMillan Street LLC" 2/17/2025, with mailing address at 2411 Grandin, owned by "SEBIT LLC" which seems tied to Susan Mary Kelley-Fernandez

• 107 W McMillan (combined parcels from 93-107 W McMillan) - acquired by "MCM103 LLC" 1/14/2025, with mailing address at 2985 Lower Grandin (owned by Kattie and Thomas Erbeck).

Tom Erbeck is the owner of the Cincinnati Adriatico's. He's a really smart guy whose family made a lot of money because their farm (and possibly other land) in Mason is now expensive houses. He owned and possibly still owns a variety of rental properties near UC and around the city. He has had a working relationship with Dan Deering and the other people near UC for a long time.

They're going through the zoning process now to tear down the homes east of Mr. Tuxedo and create a 23-space parking lot, so it appears for the time being, the Mr. Tuxedo building and the Adriatico's building are staying put.

A major student housing apartment project in Corryville got its final needed approval from the city of Cincinnati June 6, with the developer revealing final details about how many units and parking spaces it will have.

Kingsley + Co. plans an $80 million, seven-story apartment building on 1.7 acres at 2608-2622 Euclid Ave. The 282,165-square-foot project will have 180 units ranging from studios to four-bedroom units, plus some four-bedroom townhomes. It will add 481 bedrooms to the area. The building will sit on a 2.5-story garage podium with 208 spaces. All but the number of parking spaces are within the range of what was originally proposed. Kingsley is adding nearly 30 more spaces than the 180 it originally contemplated.

It doesn't look like the u/c retaining wall is extending behind Mr. Tuxedo but I'll walk around back the next time I'm over there I'll walk around back and take a look. it's at least theoretically possible that Mr. Tuxedo itself (the business) could become a tenant in the current Adriatico's building but that would be a waste of some of that building's restaurant-specific mechanics.

Heard recently that blocks B/C of the District are now being developed by Parallel. I believe it is this group.

Watch it get downsized. That 25 story tower ain't happening.

Straight St. was recently restriped in front of The Deacon with a large number of loading/unloading spots for the endless wave of Uber drivers and food deliveries (why that took so long, nobody knows...). That block is already as congested as McMillan St. between Clifton and W. Clifton. It would make sense to study reconnecting Stratford through the Hughes HS property and adding an access drive or real street between Hughes and B/C. Deaconess Hospital used to have an access alley that ran the length of it between the ER entrance (near building D) and Clifton Ave.
