Burnet Avenue Revitalization

With the help of The Uptown Consortium CCHMC is expanding across Burnet Avenue into the Avondale neighborhood. The design of the expansion is being performed by DNK Architects.

The Uptown Consortium is master developer for the Burnet Avenue project and is investing more than $50 million for site acquisition and development. The City of Cincinnati has contributed more than $1 million in land grants for this first phase.

The project will include more than 150,000 square feet of office and retail space, including the additional office space for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, a 45,000-square-foot office building for the Cincinnati Herald weekly newspaper, and up to 60 units of owner-occupied housing. Workforce housing that is appropriate for the market, job opportunities, and plans for local retailers, including minority-owned businesses, are all part of the Burnet Avenue Revitalization plan. Brown anticipates additional phases of the project will include senior housing, and is studying the placement of a small-business incubator as well.
