The Society of St. Vincent de Paul has purchased a vacant Mount Washington building for $1.05 million, with plans to open a thrift store this December.
The 10,000-square-foot commercial building at , known as Corbly Station and constructed on speculation by Cole Realty Associates, has been vacant since its completion in 2008.
Last November, Cincinnati city council approved a rezoning request by Cole Realty Associates that would allow them to add a drive-through to the building, a feature that the developer said would help it attract such high-profile tenants as Starbucks, Donato's, Bruegger's Bagels, Skyline Chili, Widmer's and Little Caesar's.
Midland Retail had been marketing the up to six tenant spaces in Corbly Station since December 2006.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul's current Mount Washington retail location at 2129 Beechmont Avenue likely will close.
The non-profit operates a superstore in Spring Grove Village, in addition to smaller thrift stores in Colerain Township, Evendale, Mason, and Milford.

Bummer, I was hoping for something new in that space, not just a relocation.
All their stuff looks horrible in that location. City Council and MWCC really screwed up on this and now there is a Goodwill store 3 buildings down that will feature more crap for sale, only with a bonus 'drive-thru'. There is nowhere in Mt. Washington to buy breakfast or a cup of coffee, but if you want someone else's stuff to buy Mt. Washington is the place to be.
