Wrecking Cincinnati, 7/15/08

263 Calhoun St, Clifton Heights
Fast-food restaurant
DOB: 1972
Died: July 2008
Cause of death: Formerly an Arby's restaurant, the building was blighted and vacant. It was likely demolished by owners ClifCor to avoid future upkeep. ClifCor still owns the property after a failed attempt at eminent domain by the Clifton Heights Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (CHCURC) and the City of Cincinnati to build the McMillan Park condominium and retail complex. CHCURC is currently working with Towne Properties on a partnership that will allow them to develop a mixed-use project on the surrounding land.
