The building was purchased by Texan investment firm Newcrest Image in 2016 at a cost of $9.3 million. The firm subsequently proposed transforming the tower into a 349-room hotel, but was unable to fund the $67 million project. In 2024, the Cincinnati City Council approved a revised plan by Newcrest Image subsidiary Supreme Bright Cincinnati LLC to convert the "mostly vacant" Fourth & Walnut Center into a mixed-use building. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the project includes plans for a luxury hotel with 280 rooms, 16 "high-end" apartments, a restaurant, and a bar. The city of Cincinnati will not provide funding for the estimated $175 million renovation, but is granting the developer a 15-year tax abatement.[5]
