ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Nick Lingenfelter is chief development officer of PLK Communities, the developer behind Factory 52 and the upcoming Hyde Park Square redevelopment.

He also talks the origins of Factory 52, and the challenges and opportunities of development in Hyde Park.

Elsewhere on the podcast, hosts Andy and Tom talk about the death of Cincinnati's nightlife boom, the opening of a new independent hotel downtown, the push from one county commissioner to use stadium funds for other needs and one of the urban core's largest restaurant spaces finding new life.
