^^Thanks for asking! I kind of figured that would be the response but worth a shot.

Developer looks to add 100 apartments along Cincinnati riverfront

By Tom Demeropolis  –  Senior Staff Reporter, Cincinnati Business Courier 

 

Towne Properties is working on plans to add 100 apartments just east of downtown Cincinnati.

 

The Mount Adams-based commercial real estate company is proposing a zone change for the property at 975 Adams Xing in the East End that would allow for development of a five-story, roughly 100-unit apartment building. Chad Munitz, vice president of development for Towne Properties, said the piece of property, adjacent to the existing Captain’s Watch building, is located on a great stretch along the riverfront. 

 

“It is a great location,” Munitz told me. “It’s almost downtown. It’s walkable, bikeable and Uber-able to downtown, but you’re not in the middle of the Central Business District.”

Is there any news on this since it been over 2 years? Is the project even alive?

Not since March where we were told the project is indefinitely on hold.

In what appears to be Towne Properties bid to maintain control of the 975 Adams Crossing site, they are proposing installing.... a surface parking lot. Why this would be needed in this residential area that already has the Sawyer Point, Friendship Park, and Montgomery Inn parking lots is a question the city needs to get an answer to.

Neighbors object to surface parking for Towne's East End Downtown apartments

By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier

Mar 18, 2024

 

Some neighbors objected to a planned surface parking lot that will serve a new apartment building planned for the East End, but the Cincinnati Planning Commission OK’d it.

 

Towne Properties plans to build a five-story apartment building with 100 units, 122 garage spaces and another 77 surface spaces near two other apartment buildings. It asked for the city’s approval of the parking but got ensnared in new regulations restricting surface lots downtown and had to jump through the planning commission hoop.

 

Neighbors said they are not concerned about the existence of the lot but the design of it and increased traffic on Adams Crossing and Riverside Drive from people using Sawyer Point’s pickleball courts and other activities since the project was first announced in 2021. They asked for the building to be constructed before the parking lot and for a new traffic study to be done, particularly the effect on the smaller street, Adams Crossing.

A former city councilman told me that the city still owns the "Boathouse" parking lot but the Gregory family gets to collect ALL of the revenue from it.  The "deal" dates back to the construction of Bicentennial Commons in 1987-88.  

Parking at the Boathouse is free unless you use valet.
