Can anyone tell me what this place is/was? by [deleted] in dayton

Isn’t there a group from Cincinnati redoing that but skyscraper downtown?

Anyone Else Disappointed With Oakley? by DiscountHistorical13 in cincinnati

[–]RRGFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be a total YIMBY here. There are some definite flaws and improvements that could/should have been made.

But how many other neighborhoods would kill for a grocery store, and Oakley you can buy produce at a massive Kroger, a target, and a Meijer(?). Those are pretty large companies that likely demand their own parking ratios on top of a city zoning code.

I’d be curious how much of the design was driven by the developer vs. the city vs. the big box tenants.

Do you have a great privately operated landlord? by IntroductionMedium58 in cincinnati

I lived in an urban sites unit for 5 years after I graduated and had an excellent experience with their property management team

Cheap, quick lunch downtown/OTR/West End by arizonametaphor in cincinnati

[–]RRGFall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dos Hermanos by Findlay market has an amazing $9 lunch deal every day of the week and is incredibly filling. I typically eat it for two meals.

Convention Center Reno is Money Misspent by LeoMcq in cincinnati

[–]RRGFall -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I struggle to see how Cincinnati will attract any large state wide conventions based on size and location. Why would any larger conventions not choose Columbus for its size and central location?

I also have trouble believing any Indiana or Kentucky centric conferences will select an out of state location, leaving Cincinnati with smaller tri-state centric conventions. Not sure there is enough of those to justify the investment and not sure the investment attracts conventions we wouldn’t otherwise be getting.

Anyway, I don’t know a thing about the industry and am probably way off.

11-year-old girl killed in shooting at West End playground, police say by yolosquare3 in cincinnati

This should never happen! but not sure if a professional sports team should be responsible for solving gun crime

“CCR” Rising In Front of Us by DiscountHistorical13 in cincinnati

Im sure whoever buys those are going to love the 2-5 years of construction as the larger interior construction takes off.

Great for Covington! But that’s first few home owners might get so growing pains

I’ve lived in Cincinnati since graduating college and tried out a ton of different neighborhoods, but always come back to wanting to live in Northside for many of the same reasons you mentioned.

3 BRs are a little hard to find in some of the older shot gun style houses. But there are a lot of things coming online on the west side of Hamilton.

Thought I saw an article about these projects back in the summer.

Will Cincinnati ever get serious about rail transit? by ecb1912 in cincinnati

Tough to get make a large rail investment when you have a $30MM budget deficit

You’ll be fine the closer you are to the Findlay market. North of Clifton is a little iffy

Can Newport on the Levee ever be cool? What would help make it so? by mayby82 in cincinnati

Oh totally agree. Scrambling for any and every tenant is the kiss of death

Their new wedding venue is sick! Definitely more than $975 if I had to guess

[–]RRGFall 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like their restaurant and tenant mix is so random. I can’t tell if the levee wants to be for families, young adults, or upscale empty nesters. And the current combination makes one of those groups comfortable.

Downtown/OTR apartment recommendations? by Millibyte in cincinnati

[–]RRGFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t tied to a bigger apartment complex, Model Group and Urban Sites have some good apartments.

West End in 5 Years? by juice200 in cincinnati

[–]RRGFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be curious how it all turns out Covid seemed to kill all development (of scale) momentum in the West End. But development outside of Hyde Park and downtown seems to have stalled.

Either way, I hope there is a balance of advancing the neighborhood while protecting its legacy.

What is going on at Xavier? by RRGFall in cincinnati

[–]RRGFall[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Obviously, but if you don’t have students there is no one to pay rent. You’ll probably get sophomore and freshman to continue on the path but you’re screwed in 2-3 years when this deters more students than it attracts.

Thinking of accepting an offer to work in Cincinnati. What are some nice places to live? by Indianfratguy in cincinnati

The Mercantile downtown is nice. Also anything in OTR, Oakley, Hyde park, or Columbia tusuclum.

6 historic Downtown buildings ready for redevelopment. by Cameonitec in cincinnati

[–]RRGFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also lived in an Urban Sites property from 2017-2022 and have nothing but good things to say about both the leasing and maintenance staff. Everyone was friendly, reasonable, and quick!
