June 29, 20168 yr $10M South Park development passes key hurdle A $10 million South Park development in Dayton passed a key hurdle Tuesday night, ending a months-long standoff about a drive-through on the property. Dayton's Board of Zoning Appeals approved all but one variance for the first phase of the Flats at South Park mixed-use project along Warren Street at Burns Avenue, with a number of conditions to address residents' concerns about a drive-through planned on the north side of the building. The project, years in the works, has gone through a number of iterations.

June 29, 20168 yr Damn, that's a hideous looking building. Looks like a university dorm from the 1960s. And we think we get bad infill in Cincinnati...
June 29, 20168 yr You do get bad infill in Cincinnati. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 29, 20168 yr You do get bad infill in Cincinnati. No argument here. But this is worse by several orders of magnitude.
June 29, 20168 yr I don't disagree that this is a bad, boring basic design...but if you think this is magnitudes worse than half the stuff on McMillan (i.e. Campus Park), Corryville, or Columbia-Tusculum (i.e. anything along Columbia Pkwy), then we clearly have a different set of eyes.

June 30, 20168 yr ^I'm not trying to be an ass, and I realize that it's great for infill to be occurring in Dayton, basically regardless of design, but this rendering just seems awful. It's one solid mass of a building, with no variation in height, color, materials. It's got no articulation of a corner, no cornice or anything at the top of the building, no balconies, and the windows seem very small. It literally reminds me of the OSU north campus dorms that are now being replaced.
June 30, 20168 yr Again, I don't disagree that it's a basic, boring brick design. The "ass" part was And we think we get bad infill in Cincinnati......which is clearly incorrect. And for the record, those North Campus dorms at OSU are "magnitudes" better (quality, crispness, texture) than that McMillan/Corryville/Columbia Pkwy stuff. Bottom line is, it's just a brick box in South Park. Not offensive, not bad, not good.

October 21, 20204 yr As long as we keep getting height along that corridor I'm happy. I just wish those storefronts would get occupied by more than a Biggby and Cassanos... “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
December 17, 20204 yr Developer proposes another new housing project in Dayton's South Park neighborhood A local developer is pursuing another residential project in Dayton's South Park neighborhood, marking at least the third housing complex the company has proposed or developed in this area over the last few years. Beavercreek developer Oberer Thompson Company, doing business as The Flats at South Park III LLC, plans to construct new market-rate housing on the former Cliburn Manor site. The site design and housing product mix will depend on market demand, but will largely consist of single-family homes using "urbanist" designs compatible with the South Park neighborhood, according to city documents. In order to proceed with the development, the city of Dayton must first approve the sale of 4.68 acres of property located at 200 Burns Ave. The ordinance also empowers the city manager to execute the agreement and quit claim deed associated with the proposed project. The Dayton Department of Planning and Community Development is in support of the agreement, which will be considered by the Dayton City Commission at a meeting tonight, Dec. 16. Since the ordinance is associated with a real estate matter, city officials are requesting it be passed as an emergency with two readings at one meeting.
