Since the Great Recession, downtown Cincinnati’s Central Business District had seen very few condo projects and had been all but passed over for the trendier Over-the-Rhine neighborhood just three blocks away. But Indianapolis development company, Pearl Co., sensed an opportunity, they purchased the former Rybolt Heating Co. Building at 813 Broadway St. and engaged Gossman Group in 2017 with the intent of transforming the more-than-19,000 square foot building into 16 residential condos. The $5.5 million project was designed by Craig Gossman to take advantage of the building’s large windows and historic features. Some of the units have exposed brick and feature the ca. 1890 building’s exposed heavy timber columns and beams. Gossman Group served as the Architect of Record and prepared the construction documents for the project.
