Healthcare: Medical building rising in Uptown’s Corryville neighborhood
by Randy A. Simes for SoapBox Cincinnati
A new 25,000 square-foot medical office building is rising in Uptown’s Corryville neighborhood in between Rochelle and Donahue streets on Highland Avenue. The $8 million project is on-track to be completed in October 2010 and will be filled by the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VA) who has signed a 10-year lease on the building.
The VA intends to use the space for their ophthalmology group, a sleep lab, and their engineering group which will be moved from their current medical space nearby. The move will come at a time when the VA is looking to free up space at their current location, and could lead to the creation of additional jobs once development is complete.
The project is being developed by Cincinnati-based Uptown Rental Properties which has its offices just a block away from the site in a building that served as the company’s first new commercial development project – the VA medical building is their second.
