August 3, 20231 yr Queen City Hills project unlikely to start in 2023 — but it's still alive, principal says A much-anticipated, major biotech project that was slated to be built at a key Uptown parcel is not expected to start this year, but a principal in the development said its partners are continuing to press forward on it. The 5.85-acre Queen City Hills project, which was to include residential and commercial development as well as research labs, is in flux as it talks with potential biotech partners, said developer Eddie Rigaud. The developers planned to build the Biotech Cincinnati Life Science Research Park for Innovation in the southwest corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Reading Road. “That’s probably the case,” Rigaud told the Business Courier on Aug. 3 when asked if the project is not going to start in 2023. “There could be a scenario where things go faster. We just have to make sure that what we’re building meets the market need.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2023/08/03/queen-city-hills-project-pause.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

The Beechwood, located at 330 Forest Ave., received $1 million in federal funds from U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman’s requests through Congress’ community project funding initiative, a process that replaced congressional earmarks. The project also has received city of Cincinnati funding and will include capital funds from CMHA’s budget.

July 18, 2024Jul 18 Cincinnati Port Authority signs services agreement with Uptown Consortium By Brian Planalp – Staff reporter, Cincinnati Business Courier Jul 18, 2024 Updated Jul 18, 2024 3:28pm EDT The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority is taking on a new, expanded role in the city’s Uptown neighborhoods, including the Cincinnati Innovation District, where lackluster progress has fueled frustration and criticism. The frustration is magnified by the perceived importance of the innovation district, centered around the Uptown intersection of Reading Road and Martin Luther King Drive. Uptown is the region’s second-largest jobs center and home to its most important educational and medical institutions. A district harnessing those ingredients in a cohesive urban environment could unlock exponential value creation for the city in areas of information technology and the biosciences. MORE

July 19, 2024Jul 19 Here's the official update we received last week from the CDC. Full steam ahead it seems. CDC’s official response is: The U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) preliminary title review, which will enable CDC to move forward with the purchases, is currently underway. Upon U.S. DOJ’s completion of the preliminary title review, CDC will complete the purchase of the University of Cincinnati Foundation (UCF) parcels and shortly after, the purchase of the City of Cincinnati parcels. CDC anticipates completing both purchases by the end of 2024. Soon after the purchases of all the new campus properties, the solicitation and bidding effort for the construction of the NIOSH consolidated facilities can begin. The award to a General Contractor for construction will take several months following the announcement of the public solicitation.
July 22, 2024Jul 22 10~ sets of speed humps are now in place on Reading Rd. in Avondale. But they aren't succeeding in slowing many people down. I have now been tailgated and honked at by people for slowing down while driving over them. Meanwhile, you see the people more or less ignore their presence and nearly hit the roofs of their cars while passing over them at 45+mph. Don't they care about blowing their suspensions? No silly, they're driving stolen cars.
July 22, 2024Jul 22 I'll match your anecdotal evidence with some of my own. I've driven this route a dozen times and traffic is noticeably slower. I see it as a quick win on a way-too-wide road that will lose some lanes in a few years to BRT anyway.

My wife's nephew is a cop in District 4, right on Reading. When the first set were installed he rolled his eyes thinking they wouldn't do anything. It didn't take 2 months for him to change his mind and become a big supporter of them. Additionally, I stopped at the CPD booth at the Neighborhood Summit, and all 4 of them were big supporters of the work DOTE has been doing for traffic calming. Traffic calming is going to be a game of whack-a-mole for a long time and no single thing will work 100% of the time. It took us a century to get to how bad things are today, so it's going to take several decades to unwind all those choices that prioritized throughput and speed over all other considerations.

A thought I had too was that the really wide roads we see throughout different areas of the city probably used to have a lot more pedestrian traffic (I am talking about in the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc.) Then widened roads, then flight out of the city into the suburbs, then generations of people growing up and driving without much pedestrian traffic and not being careful driving. I myself sometimes catch myself when I am driving in Cincinnati vs out in the suburbs as there is a lot more pedestrian traffic, where as once I get on the interstate to Loveland Madeira and to my house there is basically zero pedestrian traffic. There are no sidewalks or pedestrian crossings from the MLK exit, up 71 to 275, to Loveland Madeira Road until I turn up South Lebanon and go up the hill, then there are sidewalks and one pedestrian crossing (Loveland Middle School). It does feel like more and more is getting put in and going to the pediatrician in Hyde Park a couple weeks ago it looks like they put more in place (or just noticing now) on Wasson Road and the intersection with Paxton, etc. So it is slowly getting better as Cincinnati the city is gaining more population but obviously it isn't ideal.

September 23, 2024Sep 23 Uptown Consortium, Steiner sign new developer agreement for Burnet Quarter A long-planned project aimed at transforming an Avondale thoroughfare into a vibrant mixed-use business district is back on track after years of dormancy from the Covid-19 pandemic. The Burnet Quarter development first surfaced in 2015 when Uptown Consortium Inc., the nonprofit community development group for Avondale, Clifton, Corryville, CUF and Mount Auburn, signed a preferred developer agreement with Columbus-based Steiner + Associates, the original developer behind Liberty Center in Butler County. The idea then, as now, was to develop 5 acres along Burnet Avenue between Forest and North avenues. The projects would include multifamily residences, condominiums, affordable housing, a hotel, short-term rentals, office spaces and retail options, according to Gavin Thomas, executive vice president of development at Steiner.

December 9, 2024Dec 9 Delayed Avondale single-family subdivision gets final approval, but residents question ‘unity’ A rare new single-family subdivision set to be built in Avondale got its final approval Dec. 6, years after a contentious battle over what should go on nearly 4 acres of formerly city-owned property. But there appears to be one more skirmish in the works – what the name of a new street bisecting the 18-home subdivision will be. Right now, it’s slated to be called “Unity Street,” but some residents called for more community engagement on the name. Years ago, National Church Residences proposed a housing development for homeless people and the disabled called the Commons at Alaska. It had the support of some Avondale community leaders, but a group of residents immediately in its vicinity were staunch opponents. That project, ultimately, died.

March 14Mar 14 Uptown's Reboot In any other city, Cincinnati’s Uptown area – five neighborhoods anchored by the region’s largest university and five hospitals – might be downtown, or at least adjacent, delivering a one-two economic punch. Walking down High Street in Columbus, it’s a straight shot between downtown and Ohio State University and its hospital. People can walk through vibrant neighborhoods with new, mixed-use buildings and activity on the sidewalks. In Cincinnati, the hilly terrain separates downtown and Uptown. Drivers exit Interstate 71 at Martin Luther King Drive, head west toward the University of Cincinnati and the hospitals and are immediately greeted by three, massive vacant lots at MLK’s intersection with Reading Road. For nearly two decades, Cincinnati has been banking on Uptown being a major source of growth, a rare place close to the region’s core where there is plenty of vacant or underutilized land prime for redevelopment. City leaders, as well as those at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, the University of Cincinnati and UC Health – the region’s first-, third- and sixth-largest employers – believed that with the help of a community development corporation, Uptown Consortium Inc., they could leverage those institutions’ growth and transform the surrounding neighborhoods into economic powerhouses. The new I-71/MLK interchange that opened in 2017 was supposed to add rocket fuel to the idea. So far, it has not. The district is supposed to be a brothy stew of highly talented and motivated people and new technology where research and private sector investment would spur new companies, high-paying jobs and repeatable, sustainable growth, not empty lots. Leaders believed smart growth there would create a positive feedback loop, boosting other parts of Avondale, Clifton, Corryville, CUF and Mount Auburn.
