With the addition of bicycle lanes around the city, ride services like Lyft and Uber and the coming streetcar, more people are turning in their car keys for bike helmets. Many local businesses are jumping on board too and are teaming up with organizations like ArtWorks to
help design bike racks.
A new Pendleton apartment building — designed, developed and rehabilitated by
BiLT Architects — is the first to be named an official “Bicycle Friendly Destination” by
Queen City Bike. Located at 512 E. 12th St.,
Abigail@512e12 has a number of amenities that make it bicycle-friendly.
Dedicated bicycle lockers are available for tenants, and there is also a fully outfitted bicycle workstation complete with bicycle stand, pump and repair tools. Tenants can also purchase a membership to
Cincy Red Bike for half price.
Abigail@512e12 is a member of Queen City Red Bike, and tenants can enjoy the organization’s membership benefits as well.
There are no dedicated on-street parking spots for tenants, which helps promote a more bicycle-centered lifestyle.
The seven one-bedroom apartments began pre-leasing in April and should be move-in ready within a few weeks. Rent ranges from $840 to $880 per month, or $1.50-$1.60 per square foot.
