509 East 13th Street - Elderly Housing

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Client: 13TA, Inc

Details:
This unique project of seven units of Elderly Housing was due largely in part too many financing components. Our firm was hired by the City Of Cincinnati, through what was then the Circuit Rider program, to provide technical expertise to a local non-profit group 13TA, which had no housing development experience. Our task culminated in being project architects, construction management and aiding in every aspect of the project's Low Income Housing Tax Credit packaging. In addition, our firm prepared and completed a historical tax credit application, which was granted. The city and local investment company also put up funds.

Details:
Our firm converted a four-story masonry structure with a former room house layout, into seven apartments: 2-3 bedrooms, 2-2 bedrooms, and 3 single bedrooms. The space restriction presented by the existing exterior walls, made it necessary to have spacious, but quite compact apartments. All kitchens were designed for each apartment in a similar fashion, while maintaining some unique features.
