The Skyler
New Hyde Park Square Mixed-Use Development. Iconic Building will “bookend” Hyde Park Square, offering high quality multi-family rental housing over ground-level retail
Terrex Development & Construction is working to develop and construct a small-scale, neighborhood, mixed-use project that will be situated at the southeast end of Hyde Park Square at the corner of Erie and Michigan Avenues. The development, named The Skyler on Hyde Park Square, will have retail spaces on the street level, multi-family rental units on the upper floors, and approximately 38 parking spaces for residential tenants and retail customers.
The project is being constructed on the site of the former home to Hyde Park Baptist Church on approximately 0.45 acres of land located at 2745 Erie Avenue. The project will transform the property with a thoughtfully designed building that respects the surrounding architecture and community fabric while providing a new landmark building to bookend the eastern end of Hyde Park Square. The project team was attracted to the site because of its prominent location and the ability to transform the property into an asset for the Hyde Park community.
Karl Gieseke with GRA+D Architecture is the principal architect for the project. GRA+D and Terrex worked closely with the community over approximately six months to garner feedback and design direction. The design team worked closely with the Hyde Park Neighborhood Council and the Hyde Park Square Business Association who provided design feedback and ideas to improve the project for the community. The team went through several meetings with the community, including public meetings hosted by the Hyde Park Neighborhood Council, to listen to the community. This feedback resulted in material changes to both the project site plan and to the building design.
The team realizes the importance of this location in terms of the overall experience on Hyde Park Square and set out to accomplish five primary goals with the design of the project:
Quality Design – Employ quality, timeless, design that pays homage to the surrounding architecture on the square without emulating it.
Quality Materials – Utilize high quality building materials that will stand the passage of time.
Active Retail – Seek active retail uses that provide more shopping opportunities to attract more foot traffic and activity around the square.
Living Large – Build large residential units that are well appointed with finishes that will attract demanding tenants who do not want to sacrifice living space when they choose to live on Hyde Park Square.
Self-Parked – Include enough parking for the project to be self-sufficient; providing convenient, hidden, off-street parking.
The development will be a four-story building housing 12 two-bedroom apartment units over ground floor retail space. The units will be larger than those in a typical multifamily rental property and will feature generous living areas, dens, master suites, gourmet kitchens, upscale bathrooms and thoughtful architectural details throughout. The units all enjoy corner views and balconies.
Testimonials
Terrex has been a trusted partner to us in revitalizing Uptown Cincinnati. They have exceeded our expectations by bringing a thoughtful and cooperative approach to project development and aligned it with a shared vision for the future. We are proud of our partnership with the Terrex team.
Having worked with Terrex on multiple projects over several years, I have found them to be key project team members. From the early concept phases, all the way through construction, Terrex is a trusted partner and advisor in every step of the way. They help guide teams through the decision making process for fantastic outcomes that align with the client’s vision. Trustworthy, transparent, and collaborative are traits that I would use to describe their team. It is always a pleasure to have them be a part of the project team.
My WEB Ventures partners and I have developed a close, collaborative relationship with Terrex. We worked closely with Tom Rowe and Peter Horton, Terrex Principals, to complete a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) for the Digital Futures Project and collaborated to implement the CBA during the development, construction, and completion of the Digital Futures Complex in Uptown Cincinnati. Tom and Peter would work with us and supported interventions necessary to stay on track with CBA objectives Because of the close collaboration with Terrex and their leadership, we exceeded all the goals of the CBA. Tom and Peter proposed innovative, “outside of the box” actions beyond the specific CBA goals to help us meet not only the specific goals of the CBA but the spirit of true economic inclusion.
Terrex has been an invaluable partner to the zoo as we have embarked on the most aggressive and ambitious capital campaign in our 150 year history. Specifically, their pre-construction team was absolutely crucial in helping us navigate the chaos of the recent few years, through the pandemic, in helping us keep our budget up to date and on track on our massive Elephant Trek Project. Top notch professionals all the way around!
