Cincinnati City Council agreed at its Feb. 20 meeting to the sale of three vacant, City-owned Over-the-Rhine properties through its Cincinnati Land Reutilization Program (CLRP).
The City will sell two three-story buildings at 1532-1534 Republic Street to Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. affiliate OTR Holdings, Inc. for $1 for the development of market-rate rental housing.
A three-story building at 24 Findlay Street will be sold for $5,000 to Jeff Gramke for rehabilitation into a two-family dwelling, one unit of which will be his personal residence and the other a rental property.
Finally, the property at 1717 Elm Street will be sold to John Back for $11,500. Back plans to rehabilitate the properties into a single-family home, which he will occupy with his wife Mercedeh Namei.
CLRP, established by City Council in 1996 to return abandoned property to tax-generating use, is managed by the Department of City Planning and Buildings.
