Posted March 24, 200421 yr Hi. I'm new. I currently live in the Emery Building in OTR, and will be moving to my new Condo on 6th street this fall (next door to the CAC). If any of you haven't checked out the new condos going in around town, you should.. There are some truely awesome spaces out there, and a bunch of new ones going in everyday...
March 24, 200421 yr well i'll live up here in cleveland, so i expect photos btw, welcome to the forum
March 24, 200421 yr well i'll live up here in cleveland' date=' so i expect photos btw, welcome to the forum[/quote'] There's not much to see.. but here's what I have so far: Exposed brick.. sandblasted wood beam ceilings. Stills needs some work: You can just see my building to the left of the CAC: More as it progresses.
March 25, 200421 yr You are the luckiest person i know... :shock: It's not like the whole building is mine :).
March 25, 200421 yr You are the luckiest person i know... :shock: It's not like the whole building is mine :). Well of course not.... but if it was, you would be my new best friend. :lol:

March 25, 200421 yr Welcome to the forum, mark. It looks like a great space. I was just in your neighborhood a few days ago, mark. Click on the link in my sig to see the pics! [/shameless plug]
July 7, 200420 yr This isn't actually my unit.. but it's the same floorplan on a different floor. Thought you all might like to see the progress: Can't wait till it's done. My floor is not as near as far along.
July 8, 200420 yr how long will it take to complete your unit? I would hate to get a new place and have to wait for it to be completed. Get some pics of the view too..
July 8, 200420 yr how long will it take to complete your unit? I would hate to get a new place and have to wait for it to be completed. Get some pics of the view too.. Move in should in October (hopefully). I'd post a photo of the view, but just imagine the side of the Chiquita building and you've pretty much got it :). I'm not one of those rich folks who can afford a view AND have enough space to live comfortably.
July 8, 200420 yr What building is your loft going to be in? I'm sure you've already said but I forgot.
July 8, 200420 yr It's 26 East 6th. It's between the CAC and the Chiquita building. The project is called Graydon place. How's your new place working out?
July 8, 200420 yr Great :) "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 8, 200420 yr ^haha zace, any more work would take away some of the rawness, eh? lookin good mark, is this the building attached to the cac?
July 8, 200420 yr haha its more like artists living in places zoned for light industry/manufacturing/commercial and it being ignored by landlords and the city because no one else is really moving in there lol
July 8, 200420 yr Very nice. I like it. Are we all invited when it is done. I need to convince my wife to move downtown. She isn't buying into it YET!
July 8, 200420 yr Very nice. I like it. Are we all invited when it is done. I need to convince my wife to move downtown. She isn't buying into it YET! We'll see :). If you haven't done so, you should check out the downtown tour of living the next time it happens...
July 8, 200420 yr ^haha zace' date=' any more work would take away some of the rawness, eh? lookin good mark, is this the building attached to the cac?[/quote'] Hah, Indeed. I do plan of keeping some of the 'industrial' look. The large iron beam/pole will be exposed, the wood beams are exposed. The warehouse style floors are remaining, as well as the exposed brick. However, I do plan on having working electricity and running water. The wood gridwork you see in the back will have windows, forming a glass wall between the bedroom and the main space. It will be wavy glass for privacy reasons :). Here's a picture of the building (which I stole from the developers website): It only has a small gap between it and the CAC if i remember correctly. It's not possible to walk between the two. It's almost directly across the street from the 5/3 garage and fountain square.
July 8, 200420 yr Super...great with the brick and timber.... Thanks. I'm hoping it all turns out well. So, anyone other than myself and Kendall going to buy a place? The time is right! :)
July 8, 200420 yr oh good its none of that "soft loft" crap What's that? I picture a loft with pillow lined walls.
July 8, 200420 yr in a way, its more of a conventional apartment with high ceilings. loft inspired, simply to play up the place as "trendy".
July 8, 200420 yr Super...great with the brick and timber.... Thanks. I'm hoping it all turns out well. So' date=' anyone other than myself and Kendall going to buy a place? The time is right! :)[/quote'] Good Question... CiNYC how about you?
July 8, 200420 yr i'd love to buy, but it just isn't feasible with my current income. besides, i'll be in and out of the city throughout the rest of school and then hopefully landing a job elsewhere. really wish i could though, but these things are all out of my range.
July 8, 200420 yr Mark you dont live next to the Chiquita building you live next to convergys center the chiquita building is across from the Procter & Gamble global headquaters but wow i wish i could live downtown everything is just so high except the sixth and race apts. but they are all full
July 8, 200420 yr looks cool mark, look forward to more pictures along the way :) i wish i could dig up some photos of Kinsey during construction. from what I've read/heard this building was about to fall over when MED bought it
July 9, 200420 yr Mark you dont live next to the Chiquita building you live next to convergys center the chiquita building is across from the Procter & Gamble global headquaters but wow i wish i could live downtown everything is just so high except the sixth and race apts. but they are all full You're right.. I was thinking one and saying another... Also, check out the apartments in the Lombardy Building on 4th, my brother lives there and it's quite reasonable.
November 24, 200420 yr Is anyone out there purchasing a condo at Graydon Place in downtown Cincinnati? If so, please send me an email at [email protected]. I myself am purchasing a unit. We currently meet regularly, and we'd love to see everyone who is purchasing a unit attend. Also, if you happen to run across someone who is purchasing a unit there, please pass on my contact information - it may be in their best interest. Thanks!
November 24, 200420 yr I posted this in Urban Bar as well - hopefully that's not a problem. This is technically new development as well :).

November 28, 200420 yr mark, I'm not a purchaser but I've been watching the goings-on at the Graydon site for several months (I can see it out my office window). It's starting to look like they're down to the finish work. Am I right? I'd love to see what those places look like.
November 29, 200420 yr It depends on the floor, but yes, on many floors they are down to the finish work. A few folks have even moved in. I'll see if I can get some updated photos posted after my next visit. My unit is on the second floor, and they are more or less moving from top to bottom, so mine isn't as far along.
December 14, 200420 yr Here's what my unit looks like currently. It's towards the back of the building, the windows face Ruth Lyon's Alley. They are more or less working their way from the top of the building to the bottom, so since my unit is on the 2nd floor, it's not as far along as some of the others: Steel beam that goes the width of the unit: This will eventually have glass panels installed. It's the wall between the bedroom and the living space: Gas Fireplace: Exposed brick wall, facing Convergys building, wood beamed ceiling: Kitchen area: Here are some pictures of a unit with the same floorplan as mine that's a bit further along since it's on an upper floor. Obviously the finished will be different on my unit: Inside bedroom, looking out: Completely different unit facing the front of the builiding, bigger and much more $$$: I'm happy to share if anyone has questions... I also have some pictures of properties I've looked at in OTR if anyone would like to see those.
December 14, 200420 yr That's going to be a great looking place when it's finished. Yeah, post more pics of the OTR places!
December 18, 200420 yr A couple I know bought a unit there, It looks great and is in a perfect location, right in the middle of downtown. hope you enjoy it and spread the word about the joys of living downtown.
December 19, 200420 yr Thanks all. Mr Coffee, do you have any contact information for that couple, or could you pass on mine? I'd like to get them included in the group if they aren't already.
May 3, 200520 yr Oops...my bad! I didn't mean to move this and did by accident! How's your place coming along?
May 3, 200520 yr No problem. I'll see if i can get around to posting some updating pics tommorow. It's slow going.
May 3, 200520 yr One of the units for sale said "immediate occupancy". Have they finished some of the floors?
May 3, 200520 yr Most units are occupied at this point. Mine is one of the last to be completed. Some units have also been resold for various assorted reasons...
