With the vision of connecting downtown Cincinnati and the riverfront, under the competition scenario, teams are selected as master developers to provide a specific vision and growth plan to create a comprehensive environment for the competition site that is programmed, designed, built and operated with all the elements necessary to promote a vibrant transit and pedestrian-oriented, sustainable, and mixed use neighborhood. Pulse is a mixed use development that connects downtown Cincinnati and the banks. The project is a dynamic hub that accommodates different lifestyle.
Community pulse, entertainment pulse and wellness pulse are at work so that this place is not just alive during football or baseball season; there is something going on around the clock and throughout the year.
