Cincinnati officials and development officials were present for a July 22 groundbreaking ceremony for a planned disabled and senior development to be known as Fosset Village at 3584 Alaska Avenue, 45229.

Titan Real Estate Group is partnering with Avondale Development Corporation as co-developer and the City of Cincinnati as a funding source to develop a vacant lot in Avondale. The new development will include 18 detached single-family houses along a new public street that will connect Alaska and Harvey. The houses will consist of three- and four-bedroom homes with brick or stone on the front of the first floor. There will be a mixture of two-story and ranch-style homes.

Thanks to funding provided by Children’s Hospital, Titan and ADC plan to build five affordable, accessible ranch homes that will be sold only to families with a disabled individual in the household. Projected house sales are between $225,000 and $300,000.

The goal of the development is to increase home ownership in an area that hovers around 17% and to bring new residents to Avondale, as well as make this development a viable option for past and current residents.
