Transforming a historic hotel into a modern office space and structured parking facility for Cincinnati Children’s

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center’s 2010 expansion into Avondale reimagined the 1920s Vernon Manor hotel as modern office space. Our team led the $37M redevelopment, including a 440-space parking garage designed with living wall trellises and structural brick to blend into the neighborhood.

Key Outcomes:

  • Enhanced community access with road widening, sidewalks, and improved traffic flow.
  • Minority inclusion through Real Estate Enterprises for African-American Leaders, LLC (REEAAL).
  • $18.3M in combined tax credits and public financing secured.
  • Long-term lease with Cincinnati Children’s for 100% of the property.

This project reflected our team’s focus on adaptive reuse, community impact, and innovative design.
