CINCINNATI CONVENTION CENTER
After 18 months of construction, leaders from the City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, State of Ohio, Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC), and other project partners and key stakeholders gathered in January to celebrate the completion of the Cincinnati Convention Center’s $264 million transformation.
The 750,000-square-foot convention center now features a striking glass façade, upgraded meeting rooms and ballrooms, a fully renovated Queen City Ballroom with an adjacent outdoor roof terrace, and enhanced building systems designed for energy efficiency and flexibility. As the second completed milestone in the Convention District’s revitalization—alongside Elm Street Plaza—the transformed convention center positions Cincinnati to attract larger, more prestigious events and drive long-term economic impact for the region.
Progress also advanced on the Convention Center Garage, which remains a key component of the district’s transformation. Crews continued repair and restoration work, including conduit installation, painting, lighting upgrades, and structural remediation. Crews also began installing structural steel in the new elevator shafts and prepping to pour the Level 2 concrete slab.
