2 new hotels, more apartments coming to Liberty Center

Mega development Liberty Center, which has been open for almost one year, is about to get bigger with more hotels and apartments.

Two new hotels and 60 more apartments will be added to the $350 million development, according to Beau Arnason, executive vice president for developer Steiner + Associates.

Arnason said it is too early to announce what type or brand of hotels are being considered for the site.

The two new hotels will join the 130-room AC Hotel Cincinnati North/West Chester, which opened in February at Liberty Center.

The development is currently home to 238 apartments that have a 75 percent occupancy rate and should be full by spring, according to Arnason.

Plans are to add 60 additional residential units, he said. Original plans called for a total of 500.

As previously reported in the Journal-News, Aveda Salon, Children's Place, Homage, LensCrafters, Pure MD Lasers & Cosmetics and Talbots will be the latest businesses to move into Liberty Center.

Liberty Center opened on Oct. 22 at the intersection of Ohio 129, Liberty Way and Interstate 75 in Liberty Twp.

Anchor tenants include department store Dillard’s, the Tri-state’s largest Dick’s Sporting Goods store and movie theaters CineBistro and Cobb Liberty Luxury 15.
