“Investments like the Union Central project are a key part of attracting the young, diverse talent that our city needs in order to thrive,” said Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval. “We are thrilled to see City Club Apartments’ continued commitment to bringing exciting new opportunities for residents to live, work and play right here in our downtown.”

“It’s your fault that we continue to develop and invest in Cincinnati,” said Holtzman. “We love everything about this outstanding City. We are inspired by the leadership and vision. We are attracted to its great culture, entertainment and sports. Area companies, medical facilities and higher education institutions are among the best in the country. We love water and the city’s walkability. These are all vital ingredients in our City Club Apartments international brand.”

Located at 1 West Fourth Street, the 31-story City Club Apartments Union Central will include 281 luxury apartments and penthouses and a mix of uses that will include a salon and day spa, bank, private club and boutique office. Guests will be able to rent a furnished CCA

Suite or unfurnished apartment or penthouse for a day, week, month or multiple years. Ten percent of the apartments will be affordable.

“The 1913 Garber & Woodward / Cass Gilbert designed building was, at the time of construction, the fifth tallest building in the world and the second tallest building in the world outside of New York,” said Holtzman. “We take very seriously our commitment to celebrating the building’s great history while ushering in a future-focused, and amenity and service rich era.”

The mixed-use apartment hotel community will feature a boutique-style lobby library lounge, 17th floor private club with spectacular views of the Ohio River, Roebling Bridge and Stadiums and abundant co-working spaces. The 19th floor Sky Park and Entertainment Sky Club will feature a gourmet kitchen, rooftop terrace with wellness sauna, rooftop pool and hot tub with wrap around loungers and cabanas, fireplace, grilling stations, outdoor kitchen and Zen Garden. A 24/7 whole body fitness center, indoor and outdoor theaters, multi-function yoga room, business center and conference room, third floor vegetable garden, fourth floor Bark Park and connectivity to CCA CBD Cincinnati via a new skybridge will also be integrated into the community.

Ranging in size from studios to penthouses the units will have 150 unique floor plans and four distinct finish packages including thoughtful work from home spaces, granite countertops, movable islands, custom closets, exclusively designed CCA kitchens, furniture and fixtures, plank flooring, and sexy bathrooms including oversized bathtubs. The building and its apartments and penthouses will have the latest high-speed technology, personalized hospitality and 24/7 time saving concierge services and will be activated with weekly resident social programming.

“City Club Apartments Union Central will combine the service, amenities and international design of a boutique hotel you might find in Paris, London or New York with engaging, connected and walkable urban apartment living,” said Holtzman. “The look and feel both inside and out will be stunning and our residents will have direct access to the city’s leading employers, public transportation, arts and culture, parks and trails, sporting venues, retail, restaurants and entertainment.”

“I have a strong passion for the preservation and continuation of historic buildings,” said Trowbridge Opportunity LLC. CEO and City Club Apartments Investor Partner Stan Dickson. “I am proud to own the oldest documented building in the City of Detroit dating back to 1826. The Union Central building is spectacular and has a rich history. I feel honored to play a role in both celebrating its past and ensuring it’s long and impactful future with this redevelopment.”
