Demolition and remediation of the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden-owned seven-story, vacant building located in the City of Cincinnati at 3333 Vine Street was completed in August 2004. Afterwards, the Uptown Crossings Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation created a parking lot, including the brownfield property and adjacent properties, with 1,100 parking spaces that is currently in use and shared by the Cincinnati Zoo, the Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center and the VA Medical Center. This allowed the VA Medical Center to eliminate 300 parking spaces on its property and construct a dry-lab facility, which brought 25 new jobs to the City of Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Zoo was able to move its parking from its current campus to this new parking lot, which enabled it to implement its plans to construct and expand Zoo facilities to fully utilize the 11 acres of former parking on its campus. The Cincinnati Zoo continued construction at 3333 Vine Street and adjacent property to fully implement the design of the Vine Street parking area, including the construction of a pedestrian bridge to the new entrance of the Zoo.
