The City of Cincinnati is seeking a qualified developer to transform a vacant historic parcel at 254 Mohawk Street into habitable housing that respects the Over‑the‑Rhine and Sohn‑Mohawk Historic Conservation District guidelines. The proposal must include a vision, site plan, feasibility analysis, financing strategy, community‑engagement plan, and any requested city incentives. Evaluation will focus on vision, experience, financial capacity, and economic inclusion. • Convert the 2,200 sq ft historic site (two masonry‑frame buildings) into multi‑family or single‑family units (minimum 1,200 sq ft per unit). • Align design with historic‑preservation standards, sustainability goals, and the city’s over‑the‑Rhine Comprehensive Plan. • Provide a detailed financial plan, disclose any needed city funding or tax abatements, and demonstrate capacity to meet code compliance within six months of transfer.
