<a href="http://www.aboutpmc.com/">Project Management Consultants LLC</a> (PMC), a subsidiary of <a href="http://www.thompsonhine.com/">Thompson Hine LLP</a>, is pleased to announce that it succeeded in helping three clients receive awards from Round 35 of the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit (OHPTC) Program. The program provides a tax credit of up to 35% of eligible costs, capped at $5 million per project, to leverage the private redevelopment of Ohio’s historic buildings.

contentpilot/introduction

The West Side Market was awarded $5 million in OHPTC for the planned redevelopment of one of Cleveland’s most significant historic landmarks and the city’s oldest operating public market. This is expected to net the project approximately $4 million towards its remaining $18 million fundraising campaign to complete Stage 2 of the $70 million West Side Market Transformation project. In April 2025, PMC helped close on more than $50 million toward Stage 1 of the project, including more than $20 million of grants, tax credits, and loans secured with PMC support.

A partnership between Witness Investment and MRN Family of Companies was awarded $3.25 million in OHPTC for the New England Building, the planned rehabilitation of an existing hotel at 629 Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland. This project will rehabilitate and upgrade the hotel floors and rooms, generating more hotel and sales tax. The project will also create a new hotel lobby in the storefront space, which will encourage more foot traffic along Euclid Avenue.

The George F. Otte Carpet Company Building in downtown Cincinnati was awarded $2.84 million in OHPTC for the planned redevelopment of the George F. Otte Carpet Company Building in downtown Cincinnati into a boutique hotel. The redevelopment will revitalize this beautiful historic structure in the heart of Cincinnati, generating new jobs and tax revenue.

629 Euclid and George F. Otte Carpet Company Building plan to break ground in 2026. The West Side Market’s transformation is already underway.
