January 12, 20187 yr ^Isn't the proposal for Madison & Whetsel to tear down the strip mall and build new mixed use? Or is that a later phase?
January 12, 20187 yr It's to build new mixed use on the other three corners, spruce up the strip mall for now, and later tear it down and redevelop (If I'm remembering correctly. Ucgrad2015[/member] lives in the area and went to the meetings so he can give more details).
January 12, 20187 yr It's to build new mixed use on the other three corners, spruce up the strip mall for now, and later tear it down and redevelop (If I'm remembering correctly. Ucgrad2015[/member] lives in the area and went to the meetings so he can give more details). That is correct. There will be 4 phases with the first phase being the southeast corner of Whetsel and Madison. The strip mall will be renovated, but the developer said he would rather it be torn down but that was not doable in the current plans.
January 12, 20187 yr ^OK thank you. Wondering on this but isn't the NE Corner already a historical bank building that was rehabbed already, so they won't tear that down correct? Sorry if I am missing something.
January 12, 20187 yr Yes, the bank building will remain. I believe the concept had a new mixed use building in place of the generic 1-story retail to the north and east.

March 7, 20187 yr The new hotel by MedPace is almost complete as well as the Red apartments across Red Bank. Saw yesterday that they have fenced off the area where the new MedPace office tower is going and also saw what looked maybe like some sort of crane.
April 16, 20187 yr Peek inside Cincinnati’s first Dolce Hotel The region’s first Dolce Hotel, Summit Hotel, is scheduled to open Tuesday, April 17. Summit Hotel is an $80 million hotel and conference center that was built as part of, and on top of, the former Medpace parking garage, which itself was formerly a NuTone factory. The 239-room hotel has 34,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space including nearly 11,000 square feet of terrace and gardens. Bruce Flyer, general manager of Summit, said this was a great location for a Dolce hotel. “Nothing like it exists in the Cincinnati market,” Flyer told me.

June 25, 20186 yr Madisonville's business district gets $30M in aid from city, GCRA By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier The city and the Greater Cincinnati Redevelopment Authority have approved an aid package for Ackermann Enterprises as it starts a $30 million redevelopment of Madisonville’s business district.

July 20, 20186 yr ^Super exciting for Madisonville. I'm glad to hear the (DOTE-funded) streetscape project "is meant to slow traffic". Madison Rd through the heart of Madisonville doesn't need any more than 1 lane for traffic in each direction. Simply removing rushhour parking restrictions will go a long way to helping slow traffic and make the sidewalks feel safer for pedestrians.
August 7, 20186 yr The construction is just getting started on the Medpace expansion but I got a couple pics anyways. Madison Center 8-5-18 by Chad McCann, on Flickr Madison Center (2) 8-5-18 by Chad McCann, on Flickr
August 27, 20186 yr Does anyone know what is going on next to The Red apartments? They have a hole dug between the apartments and Red Bank.
August 28, 20186 yr Does anyone know what is going on next to The Red apartments? They have a hole dug between the apartments and Red Bank. A parking garage surrounded by more apartments.
October 2, 20186 yr First phase of luxury apartments in Madisonville nearly full, next phase underway: PHOTOS By Tom Demeropolis – Senior Staff Reporter, Cincinnati Business Courier After finishing construction on the first phase of the RED in Madisonville on June 1, about 95 percent of the 164 apartments are already leased. Ray Schneider, the real estate developer who has been working on the RED for more than three years, said he made choices on the design and construction of the RED that have made it costlier, such as using different materials and bumping out different portions. But he said it makes sense in the long run because he plans to own the RED. https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2018/10/02/first-phase-of-luxury-apartments-in-madisonville.html

They also need to make the area between the red and Medpace more pedestrian friendly as I’d think a lot of Medpace employees are renting those apartments.
October 15, 20186 yr Glad to see more activity proposed for "The Red" development, with more mixed use retail/office: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2018/10/15/thered-developer-planning-to-add-office.html
October 15, 20186 yr The RED developer planning to add office, restaurants in Madisonville On the heels of starting construction on two more apartment buildings, the developer behind the RED in Madisonville is planning a commercial building on the balance of land near the intersection of Red Bank Expressway and Madison Road. Ray Schneider said he is talking to potential tenants for a three-story commercial building that would have restaurants on the ground floor topped by two floors of office space. The office and retail building will be located on the site closest to Red Bank. Schneider said he is looking to add this commercial component to the site because he recognizes time has become more valuable to people. “I looked around the country and the new paradigm is to live, work and play in close proximity to each other,” Schneider told me. “They want to have a way to enjoy their time.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2018/10/15/thered-developer-planning-to-add-office.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 22, 20186 yr ^Site work started a few weeks ago. They are definitely moving forward but nothing coming out of the ground yet.
November 18, 20186 yr Madison and Whetsel development. New Medpace headquarters is starting in its third level of the parking garage and work is currently underway on the garage for the second phase of the red apartments (believe it is on its second level).
March 25, 20196 yr Construction continues on the Medpace campus expansion. Wasn't the greatest weather today so I got these shots on my phone instead of my camera. Edited March 25, 20196 yr by Cincy_Travels
April 4, 20196 yr I don't think the project at Madison and Wetzel has a name so I'm just calling it Madisonville Center. by Chad McCann
April 4, 20196 yr So great to see this finally happening for Madisonville. Thanks for the photo update!
April 4, 20196 yr The form is right, but that design is rough. I guess they couldn't decide on a design so the just mashed it all together. Glad to see further-out neighborhoods like Madisonville getting projects and infill like this though.
April 4, 20196 yr They had a meeting yesterday to update the community about the project as well as the second phase of the project, unfortunately I was unable to attend it, but hope the second phase will get started after this is complete.
June 20, 20195 yr The latest on Medpace’s expanding campus, including a food venue Construction is well underway on a mixed-use development that will include an office tower for Medpace Holdings Inc.

September 8, 20195 yr Cleared out a huge area on the corner of Madison and Stewart. The house used to be covered by trees. Rumor is that there is going to be a new 150 apartments. They are keeping this house and the house next to it, but have demolished some houses along Stewart.
September 8, 20195 yr Next door strangely haha. There’s a community council meeting this month, I think the 13th or 19th. I live in Madisonville so I’ll definitely be attending. Edited September 8, 20195 yr by Ucgrad2015 Community not city
September 8, 20195 yr Here’s a rendering. I think this will look really nice and would love to see one of the original houses turned into a brewery or something like that.
September 8, 20195 yr Here’s the site plan. https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/049450_72c2257d906f4f4e95d9b1ebf754b863.pdf.
September 8, 20195 yr woah thats not what I expected at all. Seems pretty interesting, looks like the original building is going to be a clubhouse type building, no?

Yes that is what it looks like. There’s another house next to this one along Madison but I am not seeing it in the plans.
October 31, 20195 yr Proposed zone change for 4.5 acres at northwest corner of Madison and Stewart. Preliminary site plan is for 36 buildings with 151 market-rate dwelling units. Details starting on page 30: https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/planning/about-city-planning/city-planning-commission/nov-1-2019-packet/
October 31, 20195 yr 151 units, required tree planting, and the restoration of the Stewart house? This development seems like a win for Madisonville. My only complaint is the need for 211 parking spaces.
November 19, 20195 yr Bad Tom Smith looks to be somewhat close to opening in the old bank building(left) and the far building on the right (used to house Dragon City and Lala’s Blissful bites) has been torn down to make way for phase two of the Madison and Whetsel development.
November 19, 20195 yr Heres a link to the rendering of phase 2. https://0af95c7b-c371-4204-8fa4-ffe6e3cbd703.filesusr.com/ugd/cf4e76_cd9339c9eb1a4b53a4c8d86bd88bb9e6.pdf

Madisonville is going to look SO different in a couple years.
November 19, 20195 yr 6 minutes ago, seaswan said: Wow, had no idea there was also a phase 3. Madisonville is going to look SO different in a couple years. Yes. As a resident I am uber excited about all of this development (gentrification as most people would call it). Unfortunately the small strip mall was fought to be torn down, so they are renovating it. I’m hoping that they will eventually knock it down for some more apartments as it still looks bad even with it being renovated.
December 5, 20195 yr Medspace is building a food hall on thier campus.Up too 8 establishments with liquor licenses. https://cincinnati-oh.gov/planning/about-city-planning/city-planning-commission/dec-6-2019-packet/…
January 9, 20205 yr One of region’s largest homebuilders launches Madisonville development: PHOTOS By Tom Demeropolis – Senior Staff Reporter, Cincinnati Business Courier One of the largest homebuilders in Greater Cincinnati is working on a rowhouse development in Madisonville. Ashford Homes LLC has started construction on Sonoma Trails, a development that will include 18 total rowhouses along Duck Creek Road. Cathy Hall, community and offsite specialist for Ashford Homes, said four of the 18 homes have already been sold. Three market homes are starting as well, with anticipated mid-to-late-summer move-ins. MORE
January 10, 20205 yr I really can't believe houses facing the duck Creek flood wall could sell for that much.
