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.

This is one of the biggest eye sores along the I-75 corridor. Once it is cleaned up it will add immensely to the area's appearance.
This project has the potential to be SO interesting and cool. Especially if it goes all the way to Hamilton Avenue. Can't wait for it to start moving further ahead. Be sure to keep those involved in Columbia Square far far away from it.
