Keep an eye on downtown, OTR projects with new 3CDC web site

Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation, or 3CDC, has unveiled a new Web site that visually illustrates the more than $170 million that the private, non-profit developer has invested in downtown and Over-the-Rhine projects.


3CDC began in 2003. Its investments focus on four primary efforts: creating civic spaces, creating high-density, mixed-used development, preserving historic structures and improving streetscapes and building local, diverse businesses.


The web site allows users to follow specific residential, community and business projects like the recently finished Duveneck Flats in Over-the-Rhine’s Gateway Quarter. The 15 loft-style condos on Vine Street were named after Frank Duveneck, a renowned artist and former Art Academy of Cincinnati chairman. Other projects 3CDC have invested in include the Belmain loft project, which is seeking LEED certification, the Fountain Square renovations and the planned Washington Park project.


“What we wanted the new site to catch most of all was the vision of Cincinnati that 3CDC embodies, not just the vision of what Cincinnati could be tomorrow, but what it is today, a city with a thriving and vibrant urban heart,” said Cynthia Stanard, design partner at Stanard Design. Stanard Design Partners and Atlas Design & Technology revamped the site.


It also includes 3CDC’s monthly reports, and information on commercial leasing and living downtown.
