PAC Trust selects developer

[Conan71]

The article is full of a lot of maybe.

Just like articles on the settled science of climate change! 

[SXSW]

They have engaged Ross Group to assist with preconstruction and build the project as the GC.  So there's that..

Reasors is out of this project for now.  Maybe now the developer will get someone with more experience with an urban style market and will be a better fit.

Up-lighting buildings has been out of fashion for some time now (at least for those people getting a big dose of it in their bedroom windows).

[SXSW]

Think Sprouts would try an urban store here? They would be my #2 choice after Reasor's.

Reasor's found out their closest competing store would be another Reasor's

I don't want a niche grocery store. If I need Mountain Dew and Doritos, then sell me some Mountain Dew and Doritos.

How about an urban QT on one side and Sprouts on the other?

That's just an excuse.   Reasor's be strapped for cash.
Being your closest competitor is generally considered a good thing.  Doesn't leave room for anyone else.  It seems to be QT's philosophy.

And CVS...and Walgreen's

The new mock-up says City Market, but they should seriously try to get Central Market.  It would be a destination store that would attract foodies from outside downtown.  It's like Whole Foods, but a million times better.

[SXSW]

The new rendering also no longer shows the skybridge over Cincinnati.  That is a big win if that has indeed gone away. 

The original proposal also had a performance space for the PAC but it looks like that is gone too, or maybe moved closer to 2nd?  I know the PAC wants additional space, it would be awesome to see the lot across the street on 3rd used for that and keep this development entirely mixed-use with retail/restaurants.

How about a Fresh Market, they have a better selection, although a bit more expensive, than Sprouts. And an excellent meat market.

Fresh Market is dying. We are lucky our store is still open.

I guess this is going to be called the "Annex".  http://flco.com/company-properties/the-annex/
