Cincinnati City Council has passed unanimously an ordinance placing a restrictive covenant on a City-owned parking lot that bisects the Columbia Square development in Columbia Tusculum.
Developer Al Neyer, Inc. requested the covenant so that windows on the side walls of its office and retail buildings would remain unobstructed.
The restrictive covenant prohibits any improvements, outside of those required for parking lot functions, for the life of the Columbia Square buildings.
At buildout, the $19 million project will include One Columbia Square, a 48,000-square-foot office and restaurant building; three multi-tenant retail buildings; and a restaurant or retail outlot.
Another office building, called Two Columbia Square, has been proposed for the northwest corner of Columbia Parkway and Delta Avenue.
