Cincinnati's Urban Design Review Board will take a look at the latest proposal for the Great American Insurance Building at Queen City Square this morning at 10:30 AM.
The 40-story Queen City Square, which is being developed by Western & Southern Financial Group at Third and Sycamore streets (BIRD'S EYE)Downtown, would be Cincinnati's tallest building at 660 feet.
In February, the board asked project architects to make changes to the design to make it more engaging at street level by moving the entrance from Fourth Street to Third Street and adding a retail promenade.
The meeting will be held in Room 307 of City Hall, 801 Plum Street, and is open to the public.
The Urban Design Review Board is a four-member panel appointed by the city manager that is comprised of three architects and a local businessperson as chair.
The board is charged with making recommendations to the city manager, who passes those along to the City Planning Commission, City Council, and other decision making bodies.
