CINCINNATI, OH-A 100-acre golf course along Interstate 71 in Deerfield Township will be transformed into a corporate center by a joint venture between Dallas-based Koll Development Co. and the landowners.

Operated as the Kingswood Golf Course for the past 30 years, the property is one of the last major tracts of land with significant exposure to I-71. It is located adjacent to publicly traded Duke Realty's mixed-use development called Governor's Point.

Koll VP Jeffrey Stidham tells GlobeSt.com he expects to have his first build-to-suit project underway within 12 months despite the generally soft marketplace. He's confident because he expects to find work not only from owner-users already in the Cincinnati market but also from the company's existing clients that aren't yet in the Cincinnati market.
