New downtown apartments headed to 7th & Broadway

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Over 100 new apartments are set to be added in downtown Cincinnati.

A preliminary approval was given on Friday to add a seven story building above the eight story garage located at 7th Street and Broadway, coined the '7th & Broadway Overbuild'.

111 new apartments are planned for the location.

The project still needs to receive final approval from the Urban Design Review Board.

This building was first proposed in 2003, but was not fully built. The parking garage base was completed in 2003, and another 3 floors of parking was added in 2010. Here is the original drawing:


Here is the completed base:

I'm sorry for you Cincinattians(?) who would've liked very much to see this taller and much more so.

The facade above the podium carried *at least* another, say, 50 to 60 floors would've made a keen new tallest.

UDRB gets first look at 111-unit overbuild of 7th and Broadway garage

Cincinnati's Urban Design Review Board (UDRB) on Friday got its first look at a planned overbuild that would add 111 apartments units above the 7th and Broadway Garage.

Developers NorthPointe Group and North American Properties want to add seven stories to the eight-story garage, increasing the building's square footage by more than 120,000 square feet. Apartments would range from 600 to 1,700 square feet and would be available as studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and penthouse units.

Designed by John Senhauser Architects, the L-shaped addition would be built of steel frame construction, clad with glass curtain walls and lightweight ridged metal paneling systems. The cladding would be extended over three floors of the parking garage, helping to "animate" the façade and unify the building's look.

Broadway apartments now shooting for Jan. start

Delays at City Hall and backups in steel production will postpone construction of a new eastern Downtown apartment project until January.

NorthPointe Group and North American Properties had planned to start building 111 upscale apartments at East Seventh Street and Broadway this fall, according to Rick Kimbler, principal of NorthPointe Group. However, City Council recessed in June without voting on a contribution toward the project.

City officials have now proposed putting $3.5 million from a tax-increment financing fund toward the $22 million project – a proposal that could be voted on by council next week in its only meeting before September.

In addition, Kimbler said, there’s now a four-month wait on steel beams as construction picks up regionally and nationwide.

Sorry to hear about the delay, but interesting that steal beams are in such short supply.

We have about 1,100 units that are supposed to start construction in downtown alone between now and February, so I can understand the shortage. But still, January can't come soon enough!

A big day for development deals at Cincinnati City Hall

Chris WetterichStaff reporter- Cincinnati Business CourierEmail | Twitter | LinkedIn
Cincinnati City Council approved three key deals that will bring more apartments to downtown, add more residents and retail to the Banks and help fund a technology campus in Over-the-Rhine.

Council approved a $3.5 million grant on Wednesday to North American Properties and NorthPointe Group so they can build a seven-story apartment building on top of a parking garage at Seventh and Broadway.

The $22.3 million project, which will include 111 high-end apartment units, has been in the works since 2002. There is already retail space on the first floor of the garage.

I'm so happy to see this rising. Senhauser does awesome work and I can't wait to see how these turn out. I think it'll also be good in bringing the empty-nester demographic back to Downtown and help other developers design for them in the future.

Agreed, Now we just need to get the tower at 4th and Race going. The amount of construction going on downtown right now is pretty impressive.

[Evergrey]

Any updates, natiboy?

[jmicha]

I don't have any pictures, but the building has topped out. It's looking like cladding and windows are about to be installed soon. It's quite a bit bigger than I was expecting it to be.
