Green Twp: The Club at Hillview

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.

Westwood: CiTiRAMA 2007 at Brodbeck Park

In March, Brodbeck Park Phase Two was named as the site of CiTiRAMA 2007, to be held October 6-14.

Since then, the City Planning Commission has approved a finalized Plat of Subdivision for Glaser and Son's 26-lot project.

Two new streets, Deercove Court and an extension of Foxcove Court, have been dedicated. All utility easements have been finalized as well.

Twenty-five of the lots will feature single-family homes on lots of over 5,000 square feet.

The twenty-sixth lot will be a 5-acre greenbelt on a sloping hillside, adjacent to Brodbeck Nature Preserve and the Pine Grove subdivision (Millennium Place).

No price points have been established, but homes in Phase One sold for between $135,000 and $210,000.

Brodbeck Park is located on the northern side of Westwood Northern Blvd between its intersections with Gobel and Ferncroft.

Bridgetown: Kildare Estates

Kildare Estates is getting going over in Bridgetown.

Holtman Stephenson Custom Homes is building the 32-lot subdivision just off of South Rd, between South and Kildare.

The homes, which start at $460,000, are being sold through Cagney, Weisker & Associates Realtors. Two are currently listed.

Nothing spectacular.

Northside: Colerain Connector redevelopment update

Thirty-two new single-family homes in Northside are closer to reality.

At its February 28 meeting, City Council passed unanimously a zoning change for property along Kirby Rd (see map).

Sector D (south of Robley) Ave would change from RM-2 to SF-2, and Sector E would change from SF-6 to SF-2.

The new SF-2 zoning would allow for single-family homes of medium-to-high density on lots, at the minimum, of 2,000 square feet (think townhomes).

NorthPointe Land Company is still the preferred developer for the market-rate homes. (I'm unaware of any extension granted in their preferred developer agreement, but there must have been one because it should have expired last September.)

Northside: Fergus Street Homeownership Project

An update on the Fergus Street project... (Yes, this news is a month old.)

Cincinnati City Council voted unanimously to sell six lots to the Cincinnati Northside Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (CNCURC) for one dollar.

Five of the lots are along Chase Ave, between Fergus and Mad Anthony streets. This is where three buildings were demolished last May.

The other lot is at Chase and Mad Anthony, currently occupied by a structure awaiting demolition.

The sale of these lots will allow CNCURC to construct three new LEED-certified home ownership units as Phase One of the Fergus Street Homeownership Project. It may be a few months before any action occurs. CNCURC will have to submit, and have approved, various levels of development plans to the City.

Clifton: 3628-3636 Durban Dr

Construction is getting nearer to completion on the three new homes at 3628-3636 Durban Dr.

These are being built next to the Durban property on the 500 block of McAlpin Ave.

Durban Dr, a cul-de-sac, is a private street. (Still, it must be at least a little bit cool to have a street named after you right next to your house.)

So far I have not seen evidence of these homes being listed or bought.

Madisonville: Sonoma Hill

The subdivision looks largely built out.

All I can say is that this is bland, so very bland. It's a completely uninspiring non-place.

The only positive about it is that it's new housing inside of the city limits. And they seem to be selling even in the mid $200's, so there seems to be a market for this type of development within the City.

Here are some pics I got the other day.

I just love the seamless transition between foundation and siding!

Symmes Twp: Primrose

Grand Horizons is looking to develop a subdivision on 6 acres along the west side of Lebanon Rd, just south of Bent Creek Dr.

The subdivision will contain 13 lots.

Two of the lots will front on Lebanon Rd, but will be accessed from the new public street.

Several of the end lots will be connected to the new street by a private drive.

Anderson Twp: English Garden

Home Wood Development is seeking to build a 15-lot subdivision off of Markley Rd.

The 3.8 acre subdivision will be on the east side of Markley, between James Hill Dr and Beechmont Ave.

Demolition of the homes at 1102 and 1120 Markley Rd would be necessary for the access drive, which will be a public street named English Garden Lane.

The 15 lots will surround a cul-de-sac.
