Graydon Place, Cincinnati - anyone buying?
« on: March 24, 2004, 04:56:58 PM »
Hi.  I'm new.

I currently live in the Emery Building in OTR, and will be moving to my new Condo on 6th street this fall (next door to the CAC).  If any of you haven't checked out the new condos going in around town, you should.. There are some truely awesome spaces out there, and a bunch of new ones going in everyday...

There's not much to see.. but here's what I have so far:

Exposed brick.. sandblasted wood beam ceilings.


Stills needs some work:


You can just see my building to the left of the CAC:


More as it progresses.

Cool!
I love it when people come into a message board and immediately begin to mix it up.  I mean, Jesus, at least say hello!  Do you walk into a room full of strangers, pick a random woman, and tell her she's fat? - grasscat

This isn't actually my unit.. but it's the same floorplan on a different floor.  Thought you all might like to see the progress:





Can't wait till it's done.  My floor is not as near as far along.

how long will it take to complete your unit?  I would hate to get a new place and have to wait for it to be completed.

Get some pics of the view too..

Move in should in October (hopefully).  I'd post a photo of the view, but just imagine the side of the Chiquita building and you've pretty much got it :).  I'm not one of those rich folks who can afford a view AND have enough space to live comfortably.

What building is your loft going to be in? I'm sure you've already said but I forgot.

It's 26 East 6th.  It's between the CAC and the Chiquita building.  The project is called Graydon place.  How's your new place working out?

Very nice.  I like it.  Are we all invited when it is done.  I need to convince my wife to move downtown.  She isn't buying into it YET!

We'll see :).  If you haven't done so, you should check out the downtown tour of living the next time it happens...

Hah, Indeed.  I do plan of keeping some of the 'industrial' look.  The large iron beam/pole will be exposed, the wood beams are exposed.  The warehouse style floors are remaining, as well as the exposed brick.  However, I do plan on having working electricity and running water.  The wood gridwork you see in the back will have windows, forming a glass wall between the bedroom and the main space.  It will be wavy glass for privacy reasons :).  

Here's a picture of the building (which I stole from the developers website):


It only has a small gap between it and the CAC if i remember correctly.  It's not possible to walk between the two.  It's almost directly across the street from the 5/3 garage and fountain square.

Thanks.  I'm hoping it all turns out well.  

So, anyone other than myself and Kendall going to buy a place?  The time is right! :)

in a way, its more of a conventional apartment with high ceilings.   loft inspired, simply to play up the place as "trendy".

i'd love to buy, but it just isn't feasible with my current income.
besides, i'll be in and out of the city throughout the rest of school and then hopefully landing a job elsewhere.

really wish i could though, but these things are all out of my range.
