Seeded with a HUD HOPE VI grant, the revitalization replaces over 1000, mostly one bedroom, public housing apartments with a neighborhood of rowhouses and duplexes for families of various incomes.

The site plan subdivides the former disconnected"superblock" layout into a gridded pattern of regular blocks that connect to adjacent revitalization activities, the City's greater West End, and Downtown Cincinnati.

Considered interpretation of Cincinnati's vernacular residential architecture gives the new homes a solid character that stands up to the best West End neighborhood traditions. An extensive Community Center, Live/Work Retail on the western Linn Street Corridor, renovated existing units and an aggressive scattered-site infill housing strategy in the larger neighborhood round out the revitalization program.
