The re-introduction of the Heberle property as an income-producing asset for the Dayton Street District area is only a part of Zada's overall revitalization strategy for the eighteen to twenty block area neighborhood that defines the northern edge of Cincinnati's West End community. An aggressive marketing campaign is planned for the immediate area. In addition to promoting the benefits of living at Heberle, the site is a fresh, new, secured and safe facility in a diverse neighborhood with convenient public transportation and immediate interstate access. It is near downtown and outlaying work centers and offers convenient access to social services.
The campaign will leverage the re-investment success stories of adjacent neighborhoods, such as the Over the Rhine and Findley Market. Within the past few years, these areas have experienced working and comprehensive re-revitalization strategies and are profoundly influencing investment interest in adjacent areas like the Dayton Street area. The rehabilitation of Heberle as a four-story residential development will allow it to qualify under USGBC LEED NC guidelines. Energy Star, in addition to Silver Certification under LEED, will provide baseline design criteria for Heberle as a sustainable, high-performance development. Anticipated or secured tenants.
Heberle School is associated with Cincinnati’s school system and the implementation of reforms during the Progressive Movement. It was built in 1929 as an elementary school focused on social policy to protect and elevate the poor and vulnerable population. Heberle School hosted many important neighborhood events and activities as the West End was developed. It’s also one of few Collegiate Tudor Revival schools designed in Cincinnati in the early 20th century, featuring brick with stone trim around the entrances, windows, and corners of the building, towers, and turrets.
