Macy's Building (Cincinnati)

The Macy's Building, a striking 21-floor skyscraper in downtown Cincinnati, stands at 96.7 meters tall and features a distinctive postmodern design by Ed Haladay. Originally completed in 1980 as the headquarters for Federated Department Stores, it served as co-headquarters for Macy's alongside its New York counterpart until 2020. Following Macy's closure of its Cincinnati offices, the building underwent a significant transformation and reopened in 2025 as 7 West 7th Apartments, featuring 341 residential units and amenities like a gym and outdoor terrace. This redevelopment marks a shift in downtown Cincinnati from a purely commercial hub to a vibrant neighborhood, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers exploring urban development and architectural history.
