Edge condominium project offers a vision with a view
Business Courier of Cincinnati - by Laura Baverman Staff Reporter
A new $35 million condominium project called The Edge will sit between Mount Adams and the riverfront and among the high-rise buildings that represent the bustle of city life.
Right now, it's just a six-story brick industrial building, unassuming to passers-by on Fort Washington Way, where it sits several yards from the thoroughfare and faces the Purple People Bridge.
But come summer 2008, the Culvert Street building will be six floors taller and encased in glass and silver. And 77 condo owners will enjoy New York loft-style living adjacent to Cincinnati's downtown business district.
Built in 1935 as the annex to the American Book Building, it housed the company's printing and storage operation. Now, it sits mostly vacant. The lower level is occupied by the Enquirer Printing Co., which will move when construction begins in 2007.
Condo units on floors five to 12 will feature views of the Northern Kentucky skyline to the south, Mount Adams hillsides to the east, city and hillside views to the north and the gardens of the Taft Museum and downtown buildings to the west. Each condo also will have access to a rooftop garden, with 360-degree views.
"The vision here was to give people as much view as they can stand," said Andy Radin, a real estate consultant who partnered with architect Denis Back to develop the project.
Also part of the vision was introducing a product that would reach a wide variety of buyers.
The building's 16 floor plans range in size from 821 square feet to 3,942 square feet. Prices are between $149,900 to $1.25 million. Six units are already under contract and five are in negotiations.
All units have wide open loft-style floor plans with a covered balcony, and the option for a more traditional layout. Each will have a parking spot per bedroom, on one of the first two levels of the building.
A shared lobby on the first floor will house a deli and 24-hour security. The fourth floor will be marketed for office condo use to business owners.
"The lifestyle building is extraordinary, and most of the product is moderately priced for condos," said Sheila Bell, the Coldwell Banker West Shell agent listing the property. "I'm very proud of that."
