Deloitte will open an office in The Foundry development Downtown in the old Fountain Place building, the project’s developer announced Tuesday.
Deloitte, a global financial services firm, is the first office tenant to sign a contract for space in the building with Cincinnati Center City Development Corp., or (3CDC).
3CDC is redeveloping the site on the corner of Fifth and Vine streets into a new $51-million mixed-use development.
Royce – a French brasserie featuring charcuterie, pâtés and other classic French dishes – was the first tenant to sign and is set to open later this year, The Enquirer Previously reported.
Deloitte will lease space on the second floor of the building along Vine Street with a view of Fountain Square directly across the street.
Employees will relocate to The Foundry from an existing office, according to a company spokeswoman, who declined to say how many.
Construction on the new office space will begin immediately and is expected to be completed in late 2021 or early 2022, 3CDC said.
The Deloitte announcement comes as office workers begin returning Downtown after a more than yearlong hiatus due to the pandemic.
“We’re excited to announce Deloitte as the first office tenant of the Foundry” Katie Westbrook, 3CDC’s Development Manager in charge of the project, said. “We hope this is the first of many exciting announcements to come over the next few months, as we work to fill this essential building in our urban core with more world-class organizations like Deloitte.”
