Queen City Square Project Begins
Although groundbreaking ceremonies took place last month, the real work began last week on the Great American Insurance Building at Queen City Square as crews from O’Rourke Wrecking Company began demolishing the existing parking garage. At 660 feet and 40 stories, the new skyscraper will be Cincinnati’s tallest building, eclipsing the depression-era Carew Tower. The project, which is being developed by Eagle Realty Group, a unit of Western & Southern Financial Group, has been discussed for more than 20 years.
The building, designed by architect Gyo Obata of the firm Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, will include approximately 800,000 square feet of office space and a signature “tiara” at its apex. Turner Construction Company is the project’s general contractor. Turner, Eagle, Western & Southern, and anchor tenant Great American Insurance Company are all clients of Frost Brown Todd. Our Construction Law Group looks forward to watching this exciting project rise from the ground from our offices across the street in the PNC Center.
