Whoever is purchasing the buildings on the southwest corner of Ninth and Elm streets (BIRD'S EYE) Downtown, it is not Towne Properties.
On Sunday, Dan at the Queen City Survey blog posted about a rendering on the GBBN website of a new info condominium building to be constructed there.
According to the GBBN website, the new building would include 18 condominium units with ground-floor parking for 18 cars.
Speculation about the project recently arose because the buildings are listed for $335,000 and a sale is currently pending.
Towne Properties partner Arn Bortz says that they are not the buyers.
"We tried very hard to come up with a feasible project for that site but were unsuccessful," Bortz said.
Redevelopment is problematic because the buildings are in the Ninth Street Historic District - part of the National Register of Historic Places - and can't be torn down.
The complex of buildings, which were built in 1879 and include nearly 10,000 square feet, appears quite rundown, but have no current housing code violations.

The Club at Hillview wins county approval
The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a rezoning for an $80 million housing project in Green Township.
Towne Properties will build The Club at Hillview on the site of the Hillview Golf Course, just off of Wesselman Road.
The 293 housing units will include condominiums, patio homes, and attached and unattached single-family homes.
The rezoning allows for the attached multi-tenant buildings.
Units will be priced between $150,000 and $500,000.
The first units could be ready by fall 2008.

Site plan (looking east): Click for full size
An article in the May 18, 2007 Cincinnati Business Courier revealed plans for a massive Towne Properties project in Green Township.
I recently ran across the site plan (above), so I thought I'd share.
The $80 million project, tentatively called The Club at Hillview, will be built upon the soon-to-close Hillview Golf Course, just off of Wesselman Road.
Towne plans for 293 housing units, including condos, patio homes, and attached and unattached single-family homes.
Units will be priced between $150,000 and $500,000.
County commissioners have yet to vote on the project.
If it is approved, the first units could be ready by fall 2008.
