Uptown Consortium, Inc.

Home to 15% of Cincinnati’s population, anchor institutions that include a major tourist destination, a university, and seven hospitals, the Uptown district is a combination of seven Cincinnati neighborhoods: Avondale, Clifton, Corryville and Clifton Heights, University Heights, Fairview (known as CUF) and Mt. Auburn. This culturally and economically diverse district has thrived in part from the work of the Uptown Consortium, established in 2005.

They’re Doing it By:

  • Revitalizing neighborhoods near University of Cincinnati including new student housing

  • Contribute to economic development through job creation and business expansion.

  • Developing new restaurants, hotels, office space and a solar canopy

  • Launching a project ushering in 80,000 square feet of retail, 160 apartments and two public parking garages.
