West End Choice Neighborhoods Initiative

Lord Aeck Sargent was selected by the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) to help create a housing development strategy and neighborhood improvement plan in Cincinnati’s historic West End.

The Choice Neighborhood Initiative was a partnership with the City of Cincinnati, the Community Building Institute and local partners. Just west of downtown and surrounding the new FC Cincinnati Stadium, the plan includes a diverse mix of mixed income housing to fit within the historic context. It contemplates reinvigorating the community business corridor along Linn Street, reconnecting across I-75 and linking cultural attractions including Music Hall and the Museum Center.
