Broadway Commons was a proposed mixed-use development bounded by Broadway to the west and Reading Road to the north on the northeast fringe of downtown Cincinnati. The development is today a series of surface lots.

On September 18, 2009, Rock Ventures, a group that would own a proposed Cincinnati casino as well as one in Cleveland, released a rendering of the casino if Ohio voters approve Issue 3 at the November polls.(1) Issue 3 would authorize developers to install up to 5,000 slots machines and an unspecified number of table games. If approved, the casino would be constructed on 20 acres on the corner of Broadway and Reading.

The proposed development would generate $517 million in gambling revenue during its opening year in 2013. The casino would include street-level restaurants and retail, but no hotel.(1)
