Our second 2024 AHF Readers' Choice Award Finalist is up next! The Barrister is our well-deserving finalist in the Historic Rehab category.
Co-developers Over-the-Rhine Community Housing (OTRCH) and Urban Sites transformed two vacant, historic office buildings in downtown Cincinnati into the Barrister, which offers 44 units of dedicated, high-quality affordable housing and 2,000 SF of commercial space on the ground floor. While this historic rehab project’s buildings are each nearly 150 years old, the Barrister breaks new ground as the first Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project in Cincinnati’s Central Business District in over three decades. Adaptively reusing the Barrister's buildings has provided two and three-bedroom units with families in mind and includes seven (7) units affordable to households earning 30% of the area median income (AMI), 13 units at 50% AMI, and 24 units at 60% AMI. The Barrister seeks to help alleviate Cincinnati’s affordable housing shortage while adding diversity to the high-cost business district and seamlessly blending in with the historic architecture surrounding it.
