Where Creativity Meets Functionality

Liberty Center will significantly shape the Greater Cincinnati and tri-state area for years to come. Bayer Becker provided multi-discipline design services on the 64 acre, 1.2 million square foot mixed use town center over several years. A project of this size involves multiple consultants and throughout the design and construction process Bayer Becker collaborated closely with multiple architects, developers and tenants to transform the vision of the center into a feasible and functional design.

Paycor and MSA Architects did not have to look far to find a design consultant with knowledge of their site, and in-fill redevelopment site plan expertise. Having already provided design services on the adjacent properties at Linden Pointe on the Norwood Lateral, Bayer Becker was able to seamlessly provide integrative site design services for Paycor’s new corporate headquarters, a four story 135,576 square foot building that will be capable of accommodating their successful growth with up to 750 employees within five years.

Bayer Becker’s ability to provide designs for projects with challenging, intricate topography is on full display with Delta Flats, an apartment complex featuring 76 one bedroom apartments, fitness center and pool situated on 3.8 acres at the northwest corner of Delta Avenue and Columbia Parkway in Columbia Tusculum. The project sits at the base of a steep hill that features existing development at the top. Design for Delta Flats had to account for the hill and ensure that sliding wouldn’t be an issue.

Bayer Becker’s design improvements for the Country Squires Lake Dam helped address deficiencies and bring the dam into compliance with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources’ (IDNR) dam safety requirements. Constructed from 1975 – 1976, the earth embankment dam is approximately 35 feet in height and 750 feet in length and has been designated with a “High” hazard classification due to the potential damage to downstream properties, roads, and utilities should a sudden breach occur.

Aberlin Springs is a unique community to the tri-state region of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. This is the first true agri-community in the three states, offering farm to table living and a place for the community to grow, restore, and reconnect to the land that feeds them. 

Bayer Becker developed the community master plan, comprised of 142 single family homesites that vary from small cottage homes clustered around a central courtyard to sprawling estate lots. It was important for the master plan to allow for flexibility, adjusting according to market demand.

Rivercenter is a full service bicycle center located along the Great Miami River Recreational Trail.  Strategically located to take advantage of views to the Great Miami River, the facility includes administrative offices, restrooms, educational facilities, parking lot, and rain gardens.  The project serves as a trailhead for access to the regional trail and can support events that take place at the AK Steel Performance Pavilion located directly north.  Bayer Becker provided surveying, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services on this project.

Academy on 4th is a $37 million urban development in the heart of historic Newport, KY. It features 202 market rate apartments with first floor commercial space. The site is the former home of Newport Intermediate School, a historical institution that the new development references in its name, as well as retaining the original stone wall of the school.

Bayer Becker continues to strengthen our long history of working to increase affordable housing communities throughout Cincinnati's urban neighborhoods with Roselawn Gardens. This development is a transformational project for the community, replacing a former vacant and blighted commercial structure and revitalizing the high-visibility site within the neighborhood. It offers much needed affordable housing for seniors over 55 years of age. The four story facility offers residents 50 energy-efficient independent apartments with first floor community space.

In response to a study by the City of Cincinnati to convert East McMillan Street from one-way to two-way traffic, Saint Ursula Academy solicited the planning and civil engineering expertise of Bayer Becker to offer site-specific solutions that would respond to the new traffic patterns. Safety was the ultimate driver for design, as students cross McMillan Street several times a day to access facilities across the high school’s sprawling campus. 

Bayer Becker provided civil engineering and landscape architecture services to improve the streetscape components along Elm Street and at the pedestrian entries to the historic building. Bayer Becker also designed new loading facilities at the back of the house and upgraded existing utility services that were not functioning properly.
