Building new Downtown? Rare ground, and a different kind of project. Our team builds custom homes there on one contract and one price.
Downtown, Cincinnati, OH · 45202
A house designed for your Downtown lot
Downtown Cincinnati (ZIP 45202) is the central business district between the river and Central Parkway, where the building stock is commercial and multi-story and detached single-family ground effectively does not come up.
We will say plainly that a ground-up single-family house is not really a Downtown project: the parcels are commercial, and what people are usually asking about here is a residential conversion or a fit-out within an existing building. That is work we do, and it is a different conversation from a custom home. If you are looking to build new and want to stay close to the center, the basin edges and the near hillsides are where the ground actually exists.

Answers to your Downtown questions
Realistically, not a detached one. If what you want is a home inside a Downtown building, the first question is what that structure and its zoning allow for residential use, and we can walk the space with you before you sign anything.
The basin edges and near hillsides (Over-the-Rhine, Pendleton, Mount Auburn, the West End) are where buildable ground actually comes up.
