Design concepts for the redevelopment of the east side of the 2600 block of Short Vine have been presented to the Corryville Community Council.
The $42 million project, to be developed by JFP Group, would include 100 units of market-rate housing, a Danberry 10 screen first-run movie theater, an eight-lane bowling alley, a Martino's sports bar, and a series of parking decks.
The developer plans to seek federal New Markets Tax Credits to finance the project and would likely build the development in phases.
JFP Group plans on seeking final approval from the Corryville Community Council on June 9.
Last month, Cincinnati City Council approved the use of tax increment financing (TIF) district funds to pay for streetscape improvements .

I'm down for most new things but I am suprised to see a bowling alley with Western Bowl's problems in the news
So, all those buildings are going to be torn down for this? Isn't this "new" stuff supposed to be over on the already cleared land on Calhoun/McMillan. What happened to the "new" development a block North where Kinko's used to be? That has a multilevel parking deck too. The building is, and has been, as empty as can be, the plaza area is crumbling big time. And now they want to build another one like it?
I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Seems like JFP only likes to tear down old (many times historic) buildings and put up mostly cheap looking ones with bad design. If the designs added to the visual landscape maybe it would be more welcome.
