December 23, 2024Dec 23 Ndukwe's $67M Evanston apartment project held amid parking, community engagement concerns By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Dec 23, 2024 Cincinnati Planning Commission declined to approve a final development plan for the Mingo, a $67 million Evanston apartment project that will replace a former Cincinnati Public School building, with members saying developer Kingsley + Co. needs to do more work with community members. Instead, the commission voted to hold the development so additional engagement could take place. The 4-2 vote Dec. 20 came after a representative from the Evanston Community Council said it had been about a year since the panel had spoken with the developer, including a lack of response to a recent email. Residents living on the street also said the development needs more parking, with the current phase's plan calling for fewer than one space per apartment. Kingsley’s development manager, Daniel Buchenroth, said he did not receive the community council’s email and the council had not responded to the developer's own queries. He also noted the other community engagement that had occurred, including a recent staff planning conference in which developers and some residents participated. MORE

February 20Feb 20 Wow. The building looks gorgeous. I was at Brazee Studio recently and saw the beautiful glass sculpture in progress there. It looks beautiful in the space. Mass timber gives the entire building a warms that you just don't get from all construction types. The recording studio looks so comfortable. I really need to tour this building.
