East Price Hill: City Lights is not dead

An update from Price Hill Will, a few weeks old:

The developer, City Lights, is currently exploring the development potential of the "Incline District".

Queen's Tower is now officially open as condos. About a quarter of the units are sold. (An auditor search shows 29 units being sold to owners for between $350K-$450K.)

The parking lot across the street is still supposed to become a 4-story commercial development with underground parking. City Lights is still pursuing tenants for the retail space.

City Lights has also purchased property along Maryland Ave for townhomes, with a possible civic space thrown into that area as well. The original plan was for 14 townhomes there.

Not mentioned is the proposed 10-story tower that was to be built west of the Queen's Tower.

There is still no timetable for the mixed-use development or the townhomes, but the project is still very much alive. City Lights as been working with the City and the East Price Hill Improvement Association closely.

Here's a link to a Cincinnati Business Courier article about the development from October 2005:
