Northside: American Can Factory Square

Hamilton Avenue elevation

Cincinnati City Council passed an ordinance in April that has brought the $20 million American Can Factory Square mixed-use project closer to construction.

The ordinance, which passed unanimously, changes the zoning of the site from MG Manufacturing General to PD 47 (Planned Development District).

The project won a $750,000 Clean Ohio Fund grant last August to remediate the property. This should be completed by the end of the summer.

Initial estimates in the development plan had Phase I of the project beginning 2Q2007, though this will no doubt be pushed back to late this year or early next year.

Upon completion, the former factory will contain 93 market-rate apartments and 30,000 square feet of commercial space. There will also be a new 20,000 square foot office building, and 13,000 square feet of retail on the adjacent Myron Johnson property.

Thirty for-sale townhomes along Langland St would be built in the second phase.

The project will be LEED certified.
