Recently, a local architecture firm unveiled a design they call "50 on 5th." This structure could easily become the much anticipated reboot for 505 Vine Street, which is regarded as one of the most valuable downtown properties anywhere in the nation:

However, this piece of Cincinnati real estate has defied major development for years. If you've lived here any length of time and followed the city's contentious new developments history, you're already familiar with this quagmire. As for myself, I think I'm just going to sit back and wait for cranes to go up and concrete be poured before I get too excited. Most certainly, today's 50 on 5th building proposal promises to ignite 5th & Vine as much as the stunning Helmut Jahn concept once did back in the early 1990's:

Wow. That's a little more than a "reboot" ... What's there now is pretty useless, though.

So much about downtown development in the last 20 years of the previous century was a quagmire. Fountain Square West was just the biggest.

Although I did kinda like it when it was open space, after Mabley & Carew and before what's there now. Would have made a fantastic urban park.
