The Barrister Wins 2024 Charles L. Edson Award for Historic Preservation

Barrister 1
September 26, 2024

This week, four of our affordable housing developments were honored at the 2024 Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Awards ceremony in Washington D.C. Our first award winner is the Barrister in the Historic Preservation category. 

Co-developers Over-the-Rhine Community Housing (OTRCH) and Urban Sites transformed two vacant, historic office buildings in downtown Cincinnati into the Barrister, which offers 44 units of dedicated, high-quality affordable housing and 2,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. While this historic rehab project’s buildings are each nearly 150 years old, the Barrister breaks new ground as the first Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project in Cincinnati’s Central Business District in over three decades.

Congratulations to our partners at Over-the-Rhine Community Housing (OTRCH) and Urban Sites and the investors involved in making this outstanding affordable housing development possible. Representative Greg Landsman of Ohio presented the award at the official award ceremony.
