An $80 million mixed-use development is approved in Bellevue.
The Bellevue Planning Commission voted on March 23 to move forward with the development of multi-family housing and a parking garage, a partnership of Neyer Properties and Uptown Rental Properties. The site is located at the intersection of Harbor Greene Drive and Berry Avenue between Fairfield Avenue and the Ohio River.
Phase one of the project is expected to break ground in late 2026, with completion anticipated in 2028.
The Harbor Greene Drive development includes the acquisition of city-owned property and the vacant building on Fairfield Avenue that formerly housed Assured Partners.
The project consists of approximately 200 multifamily units ranging from 600 to 1,400 square feet. Multiple layouts will be available, including studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms with dens, two-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms with dens.
The first phase will also include a structured parking garage with about 300 spaces. Additionally, 8,000 square feet of new restaurant/retail space will be introduced on Fairfield Avenue. The commercial design will accommodate restaurant users and create outdoor experiences at the corners of Lafayette Avenue and Berry Avenue.
“Neyer Properties appreciates its several years of partnership with both the city of Bellevue and Campbell County as we work to create a new gateway into the city of Bellevue, Kentucky,” said CEO and President of Neyer Properties, Dan Neyer.
The mixed-use development will be integrated with improved public street infrastructure and landscaping that complements Fairfield Avenue’s existing design. Key architectural and infrastructure features include garage access from adjacent streets and amenity spaces created to embrace views of the Ohio River while preserving the riverfront.
The entire development will also connect to the next section of the Riverfront Commons Trail, which crosses the riverfront portion of the site. A new gathering and access point at Lafayette Avenue will allow trail users to easily reach the Fairfield Avenue business district, supporting walkability and regional recreation.
“This is a beautifully located project in the city of Bellevue that we are thrilled to be partnering on as we expand our Northern Kentucky footprint,” said Dan Schimberg, Founder and President of Uptown Rental Properties.
