10-30-98: Listing agent Dwyer nabs new HUD facility to open in downtown Cincinnati:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development recently signed a 10-year, $2 million lease to open one of a new wave of the agency’s facilities at the Provident Bank Building in downtown Cincinnati. The new HUD facility will open in February 1999 and will be among the first rfive in the nation of its variety, offering a street-level kiosk and information center, as well as a major office operation in the same building. "This is a program where people in the community can walk up to the kiosk and find out exactly what HUD is doing intheir city," said Team Leader Jim Sharp with the Chicago office of the General Services Administration, the logistics arm of the U.S.A. HUD signed a 12,000-square-foot lease Sept. 1 for a 3,000-square-foot block of space on the first floor of the 11-story building at Vine and Seven streets, space formerly used by Kinko’s Inc. The lease includes 9,000 square feet of office space, almost all of the 130,000-square-foot facility’s fifth floor. The street-level information center will be outfitted with an awning similar to other facilities across the U.S. so that citizens may identify the office, Sharp said. The deal was recently closed by President John Dwyer with Dwyer Real Estate Services Inc., listing agent for the building. Since Dwyer took over leasing last year, occupancy of the office portion has risen from 69 percent to 77 percent, Dwyer said. About 8,000 square feet of the 20,000-square-foot retail first floor remains available. HUD will be leaving a 20,000-square-foot office in the 525 Vine building, where its lease extends to January 2000. It took HUD at least a full year to find the right building it needed in downtown Cincinnati, Sharp said.

The site is equipped with all utilities and is immediately available, the latter of which may be its most attractive element, Dwyer said. Plans are to develop a campus atmosphere with extensive landscaping that could include ponds and walkways. Something's going to happen very shortly," said Shepherd, who estimates "some type of activity" will take place within six months. Both men say the township's lack of an income tax may also help recruit tenants. Shepherd has been waging a battle since 1986 to develop the property he bought in 1979, once known as the North Bend Crossing project. Australian developer LJ Hooker Co., which developed Forest Fair Mall, originally sought to develop a massive retail and condo project at the site in 1987, a plan successfully defeated by Concerned Citizens of Monfort Heights-White Oak. A Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas denied Shepherd's bid to declare the property's residential zoning unconstitutional in 1994. The case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court until a settlement was reached in February 1996. That settlement, between Shepherd and Green Township Trustees, was approved by Hamilton County Commissioners in June. "With the community, we've kind of gone from adversaries to really working very closely together," said Shepherd, who said "a new communications channel opened" when Bill Seitz became president of the Green Township Trustees about a year ago. "Bill Seitz was the first party there to look at this thing from the standpoint of, `Let's find out if there's some common ground there, for the benefit of the community and everybody,' " Shepherd said. "As a developer, we got tired of fighting this thing, and it cost us a tremendous amount of legal fees. We just felt this was the right thing to do," he added. Shepherd and Dwyer indicate Shepherd would like to maintain control of the land. Subdividing the property and selling it off in lots is the last scenario they'd pursue, both said. The original 50-acre site was first developed as a 14-acre Sam's Club on North Bend Road in late 1993. The remaining 36 acres have been divided equally into Shepherd's office project and a two-part development of about 28 patio homes and a smaller office building on a 16-acre tract bought by two individuals, Shepherd said. Shepherd's company, Shepherd Industries Inc., is a holding company for his various real estate interests
