I hope FCC wins the most as it's by far the biggest development.  After that I hope the downtown ones win over the suburbs. 

 

Isn't it early next year when the winners will be announced? 

 

For sure I’d hope FCC wins, as well as the other downtown projects. Don’t care as much as Blue Ash or Kenwood developments. 
 

To answer your question, yes they will be announced in January I believe.

The only other one I wouldn’t mind seeing win that’s outside of downtown would be the Factory 52 one. But I do not see them and Fc getting the money.

No surprise there.

Some more info per CBC article related to FC development.

 

The development includes a building with three floors of office space expected to house, according to the application, a new corporate headquarters tenant paying high-wage jobs. It will house 167 multifamily residential units spanning two floors, as well as ground-floor restaurant and retail space.

A second building will consist of a 188-key, 12-floor hotel with a large ballroom and meeting spaces for conferences, conventions and major events. A 40,103-square-foot entertainment venue will host concerts and major public events. The building will feature condominiums on the building’s 13th floor.

This is incorrect. The residential tower is 10 stories, the office portion is 2 floors plus the ground floor retail for a total of 13 stories.

ive always been really bad at reading and comprehension, but there has to be a better way to state these last few comments. let me try and please correct me. Building A will be a 13 story hotel and ballroom. Building B will be a 10 story apartment building. the first floor will be retail. 7 floors will be apartments and 2 floors will be business offices. Building C will be a 1 or 2 story entertainment venue.

 

Personally I would add a terrace garden to the top of Building A. Good views, watch the match from outside the facility. stick around and see the city the next day. how about 13 and a half.

The entirety of FC development in CBC article fwiw 

 

FC Cincinnati is requesting $26 million for the project, expected to include renovations and additions to TQL Stadium, two 13-story mixed-use buildings, an entertainment venue and plaza and concourse space. The project is expected to cost around $332.8 million.

The images in the article are out of date, but the article's description is mostly accurate "two 13-story mixed-use buildings, an entertainment venue and plaza and concourse space." Basically from what I understand instead of four individual buildings of different uses, there are now two mixed-use towers, because the office and venue space are in their bases.

Let’s just hope they get the funding this time or we’re going to see Homarama 2026 there.

well, i would give them the 26 million because $332.8 million is a lot of investment in Cincinnati.

 

I'm losing my eyesight and brain much faster than I thought. 167 multifamily units on two floors makes it seem like a huge footprint, and a huge building.

The first building includes.....3 floors of office space and 167 residential units on 2 floors, plus a ground floor restaurant. I count a total of 6 floors.

A/The second building will be a 13-story, 188-room hotel, a ballroom, plus meeting spaces for conferences, conventions and major events. The 13th floor will feature condominiums.

 

Maybe it's saying, one footprint that houses 167 units on 2 floors and two towers atop the base footprint.

From the Wasson Way Team:

 

Dear Neighbor, The Ohio Department of Transportation has been working on a proposal to extend the Wasson Way to Armleder Park and the Little Miami Trail. It would use this trestle over Red Bank Expressway (and the bridge over Wooster Pike), go behind Hyde Park Lumber, and then go south along the Duck Creek stream. It would be a wonderful improvement for the east side of the City... a linear urban greenway going from Avondale to Armleder to Loveland and all the way to Columbus!

 

We need your support!!! ODOT is holding a public event on Dec. 5th from 5 to 7pm at Karrikin's in Fairfax. The community needs to show strong support.

My guess would be the lot just north of City Hall at 9th and Plum that was at one point supposed to be the Public Radio site. It's owned by the city manager's office.

It's not specified. It is just asking them to release a RFP for one parking lot that is owned by the city, not one single specific one. Knowing him, he probably has one in mind but is giving the administration the leeway to specify it themselves.

 

In any case, it was just filed today. Discussion in committee and vote at full council will follow at a later time. FWIW he did not have any cosigners.

I am personally interested in offsite and modular construction technologies. That being said, it seems odd to require a specific construction approach for a downtown site. Will be curious to learn more about this initiative!

It’s cheaper and even cheaper when you consider its faster - especially beneficial in our climate and great for those variable-rate construction loans! I’m a huge supporter of this tech and excited to see the city being pro-modular. It’s the only way forward considering the MASSIVE labor shortage we’re going to encounter in a matter of years.

The major issue, and I speak as someone who worked on two modular buildings, is that in dense areas you are extremely unlikely to have a staging area for the modules nearby. The end result is a near endless stream of trucks arriving on site during your construction with short windows to unload their specific module and move on. It is very, VERY easy for this to go awry if you have one day where things have to stop for whatever reason then your entire schedule is blown and you wind up needing to reschedule dozens of upcoming trucks. All it takes is a couple bad traffic days to completely throw a wrench in the delivery schedule for the building if you can't stage in the immediate vicinity.

 

I love the idea of modular, the benefits to construction quality, the less waste they produce, etc., but in urban areas they have some very expensive logistical issues which will often negate a lot of the cost benefits. In the case of the two buildings I worked on, the end result was that these logistical challenges more than outweighed the cost benefits of modular construction and the projects came in way over budget as a result.

Since I think you are in New York I can see why you've had issues, but with the city owned properties, they could use other nearby city owned lots as staging and lay-down areas, plus Cincinnati in general has much more available space for staging and less traffic. I want to see more of it in the area so this would be a good test case.

Absolutely, and you think correctly I am in New York haha. There's definitely more opportunity for modular staging to work. I love the benefits, so I'm hopeful they'll be able to make it work without major issues.

Sorry if this sounds snobby... but after looking through InnovaLab's portfolio, I'm not sure I love the idea of them building something downtown. InnovaLab seems to be pretty good at adding "missing middle" density, but nothing in their existing portfolio has the higher density that I think downtown needs. I'd feel more excited about this motion if it were focused on redeveloping city-owned property outside downtown. I feel a bit conflicted about the St Ambrose project in Evanston. On the one hand, it is a good example of much needed, middle density housing. It's not the most beautiful project, but it's important to have some new construction that isn't exorbitantly expensive. That being said, it's sad to see the old brick apartment building at this location appears to have had much higher density: 2011 streetview. I don't know the history of who tore town the old apartment building and why it was deemed unfeasible to renovate. But, if I had my choice, I'd rather see the old apartment building renovated rather than have it torn down and replace with lower density, modular construction. 

Not sure if innolab is doing both but the RFB is for a parking lot downtown and one outside downtown.

No, I get that. They do have a section of their website, and the presentation, with multi-family, but it's only 3 floors so it'll be interesting to see if they are looking for work that would be more ambitious. I'm also interested if it's just a demonstration project in downtown so more people can see it for themselves, knowing that not everyone is going to go visit the job site that is outside of downtown. If I'm being overly optimistic, maybe they build something with 5 stories and it lasts like ten years, to be demolished for an actual mid or high rise building when financing is easier to get, let along political willpower.

In any case, this would almost certainly have to put out to public bid so I don't think it's a guarantee that they would be the ones to build on it.

If this does end up on one of the city owned surface lots between 9th and Court Street, then 3-4 stories doesn't seem out of place actually. Much of 9th street is 3 story row houses and the few remaining builidngs along the block aren't much taller. North and west of that site is single family homes so while it's not ideal density it would be a huge improvement for that large vacant feeling corner of downtown.

Yeah... pretty much anything is an improvement over surface parking downtown. But, I still hope for good, urban design that meets the sidewalk appropriately and creates a pleasant streetwall. I agree that 3-story buildings can be ok downtown, if well designed. I just don't think the InnovaLab 3-story buildings look appropriate for downtown.

Cincinnati set to fund demolition of long-vacant incinerator for eventual redevelopment

By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier

Jan 23, 2025

Updated Jan 23, 2025 2:42pm EST

 

Cincinnati City Council has approved spending nearly $1.6 million to demolish an old, unused incinerator, matching money needed so the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority can remove the eyesore for future redevelopment.

 

It’s been 44 years since the city of Cincinnati last burned trash in South Cumminsville, with the West Fork Incinerator sitting vacant ever since.

Not an eyesore to me, but I understand why you wouldnt want to rehabilitate an old incinerator. That said I could make that a totally rocking house for 4mil. I'd wear a respirator around. Guess i need to head over soon and get some final pics.

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2025-01-24/sundance-film-festival-host-city-search-cincinnati-boulder-salt-lake-city-park-city-bids

As much as I’d love to see Sundance move here I don’t think it’s gonna happen. A lot of people who go to Sundance are very outdoorsy and want the mountains and skiing. I just don’t see them flying into Cincinnati in February. I think the only upside to us is that we’re close to other large cities that could draw people down or up to cincy. 

The cost of attending the event will weigh heavily in Cincinnati's favor.As well as the Big city amenities the urban core can offer.But sure Coastal Bias may also be a element factoring into the Bid.I actually think Cincinnati will win the bid because of cost attending the event will be less than half of that of Sundance in Park City or Boulder.

 

Utah does seem to be out of it.Boulder maybe the compromise choice though.

Boulder may actually make the most sense.  Liberal college town full of artists, next to the mountains, Top 5 airport nearby for travel, pedestrian mall already existing for crowds, blah blah.  Over-the-Rhine would be amazing for a cinema festival but Sundance I've always associated with nature/mountains.  

Sundance leaderships main priority is bringing the cost of attending the festival down considerably and making their event more accessible to more people.

 

Cincinnati offers enough amenities to interest the Hollywood folks but let's be honest this thing will likely come down to the tax breaks offered.Sundance has been losing money the past few years.That is honestly why they will be leaving Utah.

2. Other developments around UC (seems to be a decent amount of new apartment buildings in the works around campus, not sure of the floor counts though) 

3. Margaritaville hotel (15 floors)

4. Covington Central riverfront (not really and renderings but could see a couple 6-7 floor buildings) 

 

No idea if/when it will happen 

 

1. Western and Southern development (no idea of size but did mention a 400 room hotel)

2. Gallery at Kenwood (10 floor tower) 

3. Central Parkway apartments (7 floors at the Northwestern corner of Central Parkway and Vine)

4. Spot just to the East of Convention Center hotel (was mention of a possible tower but that was a few years ago)

5. Northeast corner of 7th and Vine (7 floor apartment tower)

 

Im sure there may be some that I am missing and some that could prolly be moved around but just what I am getting from most up to date news article. 
 

Hopefully Cincinnati can start gaining more new mid/high-rises. Seems like Cleveland has been doing decent and Columbus seems to be heating up.
