Buckingham Cos., an Indianapolis-based real estate company, has purchased more than seven acres of property in Oakley to build an upscale apartment development.

 

John Cumming, senior vice president of development operations for Buckingham, said the company has been keeping an eye on the Cincinnati market and Oakley fits the profile for projects it prefers to create.

Another luxury apartment project planned for Oakley

Tom Demeropolis Reporter- Cincinnati Business Courier

 

 

Buckingham Cos., an Indianapolis-based real estate developer, plans to build 271 upscale apartments on a seven-acre site in Oakley.

 

The developers have been coming to Oakley Community Council meetings to explain the project since the end of 2012, said Peter Draugelis, president of the Oakley Community Council and a partner with Dinsmore.

This will hopefully encourage Oakley Station to be more walker friendly. Getting to Oakley Station from these apartments will be very easy by the pedestrian bridge, but people will only walk there if Oakley Station feels inviting to pedestrians. Right now, Oakley Station looks like a traditional suburban sea of parking... And walking to Kroger or Cinemark will feel like a very long walk across that huge parking lot.

 

272 apartments is almost as big as The Boulevard at Oakley Station, so effectively it doubles the residential size... So maybe this increased population within walking distance will push Oakley Station to rethink all that surface parking, and build out more along the streets throughout Oakley Station.

 

Regardless of what Oakley Station does, this new apartment complex should be really good for businesses along Madison and in Oakley square.
