Queen City Square
Queen City Square is a high-rise development project in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, located in the block bounded by East 3rd and East 4th, and Sycamore Street. The high-rise was first proposed in the late 1980s, and Western & Southern Financial Group awarded Turner and HOK the project for construction, however, the project was shelved until 2002 due to slumping office vacancy rates in downtown.
The tower's signature feature is a mammoth tiara.

Cincinnati Riverfront Transit Center
The Riverfront Transit Center is an intermodal transit center beneath 2nd Street in downtown Cincinnati south of Fort Washington Way. Although it is vastly underutilized and was designed for both bus and rail transit, although it only comes alive on game days for the Reds and Bengals.
20 A clean transit center that's all but not utilized.
