Shoppers from Greater Cincinnati and Dayton have fully embraced the Cincinnati Premium Outlets at the busy interchange of Interstate 75 and Ohio Route 63 along the Butler/Warren county line.
Early next year, office users and retail-oriented tenants will be able to enjoy a fresh locale at the newest business park in the busy corridor, less than one mile from the Cincinnati Premium Outlets: the $6 million project is now under construction by Cincinnati Commercial Contracting (CCC).
Up first for Cincinnati Commercial Contracting: some infrastructure and site development.
No worries for CCC. They’ve been scouting sites – developing sites – constructing buildings and managing property for the last three decades.
The developer and owner (www.CCContracting.com) will be building a new road, Clarence F. Warner Drive, off American Way.
American Way is accessible directly off of Ohio Route 63, near the Rte. 63 interchange with Interstate 75, an interchange traveled by an estimated 120,000 cars per day.
“The City of Monroe, and that whole Butler/Warren county region along I-75, has become one of the fastest-growing and most popular business corridors in our region,” said John Westheimer, President and owner of CCC.
“This project will fill a void for new, quality-built office and retail space. We look forward to a long-term, outstanding partnership with the elected officials and planning people from Monroe who have helped make this project a reality, in the midst of some very trying economic times.”
The new park will have a total of 30,000 square feet in a building configuration that’s still taking shape; CCC is currently negotiating with two restaurants and several retail tenants.
A Nov. 12 groundbreaking will be attended by Monroe officials such as Mayor Robert Routson, as well as Tim Lamphier, grandson of Clarence F. Warner, one of the Founding Fathers of Monroe and the namesake of a new road traversing the property.
LCNB National Bank will occupy the first building in the new development.
Founded in 1877 in Lebanon, Ohio, by leading citizens of the Warren County seat, LCNB has grown to 25 banking offices throughout the Cincinnati/Dayton corridor. LCNB National Bank is a full-service, FDIC Insured National Bank; its newest facility will measure about 3,000 square feet.
“All of us at LCNB National Bank are excited to be building our newest office in the City of Monroe. This location will become our 26th office serving the residents and businesses in the Dayton-Cincinnati corridor,” said Steve Foster, President of LCNB.
“It is a pleasure working with the officials from the City of Monroe and Cincinnati Commercial Contracting on this project.”
A demographic report pegs population growth within three miles of the site at 67 percent over the last decade, from 10,129 during the 2000 Census to 16,909 last year.
Monroe is strategically located between the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton markets.
The Butler/Warren County line splits the eastern third of Monroe, a 16 square-mile town with almost 4,000 acres available for commercial and residential development.
The population has a healthy pocketbook: more than 50 percent of the residents living within a three-mile radius of the CCC site have a household income of between $50,000 and $99,999; within a five-mile radius, almost 40 percent earn within the same range.
The leadership at Cincinnati Commercial Contracting and other businesses in the community at the I-75/Route 63 corridor has also been drawn by the sheer volume of traffic:
– I-75 carries more than 96,000 vehicles per day past the interchange, according to 2006 statistics from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI), the most current data available;
– Along Route 63, traffic counts recorded in August by OKI determined almost 24,000 cars passed the CCC site daily.
Due to its location and transportation system, and now with the new Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) on I-75, Monroe is one of the best-located and most accessible municipalities in the region.
