After the first eight Hickory Place townhomes sold quickly, developers are now planning Phase II Provided

Hickory Place Townhomes opened last Fall along Northern Avenue in Avondale, and the eight townhomes sold quickly. Now Phase II will be planned and constructed based on demand.

Hickory Place is the first new development in Avondale since the 1990s. A number of other developments are also in the works to help welcome new residents to the neighborhood as well as retain longtime residents.

Like the $5 million Phase I, the second phase of townhomes will be about 1,400 square feet, with a mix of two- and three-bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Each will have a one-car garage and tandem on-street parking. Other touches include hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. Townhomes in Phase II will start at $225,000.

The project team includes John Hueber Homes, NorthPoint Advisory Services and Wichman + Gunther Architects. Funders include nearby Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center, the Uptown Cincinnati Development Fund and Uptown Consortium.
