Downtown development bringing affordable living options

Three historic buildings are currently under contract near Seventh and Race streets in downtown Cincinnati. They’re just north of a new retail corridor the city is planning on Race, and will offer more affordable living options to residents.
 
The development includes the 39,000-square-foot Robertson Building at 106 W. Seventh St., the 38,000-square-foot Oskamp Nolting Building at 26-30 W. Seventh St., and the 20,000-square-foot Lancaster Building at 22-24 W. Seventh St.
 
The six-to-eight-story buildings, two of which are adjacent to each other, will be redeveloped as one. The project will include 75 apartments—45 one-bedroom units and 30 two-bedroom units, with 15,000 square feet of first-floor retail space.
 
Rent is projected to start at $665 for the one-bedroom apartments and $800 for the two-bedroom apartments
 
Columbus developer Peak Property Group is partnering with Westward Development Co. for the project. Peak Property Group develops and manages multifamily and student housing across the United States.
