CINCINATTI | Projects Update
Most of these are underconstruction (except for some obvious few; QCS II, Corporex Tower, and some others). This is obviously just a taste of what the city is doing. I can't possibly find all of the projects and some projects I'm leaving out (re: Montgomery Inn redevelopment; new condo towers for Eden Park, Uptown Crossings-Zoo corridor, etc) because I don't have fancy renderings for them. But for the ones I do...

WOW!
|
God damn! Very exciting to see all the great buildings and renovations going on in Porkopolis. Bravo Colday!!!!
I especially like the Queen City Square; the UC Medical Sciences Center and the The Elite all for aesthetic reasons. On a more practical level, its great to see all the loft/condo restoration projects as well as new loft/condo buildings. |
Very impressive.
|
Queen City Square: Phase II looks nice.
|
Chris...thanks for taking the time to post this. I'll try to add on to it as time allows!
|
Some really nice projects.
|
congrats....some quite interesting projects.
|
Really good stuff, CinDay. Thanks for making an all-inclusive thread yo.
|
Go Cincy!!
|
very very impressive
|
Great work. Although most of these projects are small, it is good to see 'Natti making progress. I can't wait for QCS, Phase II, that building looks awesome.
|
^No kidding. I think QCS PII is one of the best looking buildings proposed right now.
|
Coldayman, nice pics and a nice smorgasboard of projects. Where did you find the pics of the Morgens and Scioto residence halls at UC? I have never seen any renderings showing what they would look like. FYI, I know they are tearing down at least one of the three sisters, don't know which one though.

nice work!
and I loved the Cheesecake Factory comment! |
I sure do like this one. I can envision this in my fair city, positioned next to Gateway:

Hey Cincinnati forumers -- this is a link to our local "read as you ride" transit newspaper, the Metro. It had an article in it this morning about curvy condos and the above Libeskind "Ascent" was featured, so I thought you guys would be interested. Warning -- its in PDF -- if you guys think its important enough, someone might have to finagle it onto your thread.
Hope all is well in Bengaland. http://parex.metro.st/ftp/20050811_1000006.pdf EDIT: The article is on page 16; Queen City Square II is hella cool. |
Gracias!
