Cincinnati-based property manager BRG Apartments broke ground on Hebron Station, a complex that will feature over 250 new apartment homes.
In total, the complex includes 256 one-and two-bedroom apartments spread across 13 buildings. Pre-leasing will begin this winter and move-ins are scheduled for early 2025, according to a BRG press release.
Hebron Station will include various amenities, such as a swimming pool, fitness center, cyber cafe, clubhouse and firepit.
Representatives for BRG were joined by Boone County officials and representatives from the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce for the groundbreaking at 3465 Hebron Station Drive across from the Hebron Fire Station and North Bend Road Kroger.
“This is a great location with tremendous exposure,” BRG Apartments Chief Operations Officer Steve Brunner said in a press release. “The Northern Kentucky market is booming, and we want to continue be a part of it by providing good, quality attainable housing for the market.”
Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore touted the development’s positive effect on the county’s housing supply.
Understanding NKY’s housing shortage
Our region, according to a housing strategies report released in 2025, lacks sufficient housing for young adults forming their first household; for essential workers like nurses, teachers and first responders; and for older adults. A teacher with a median annual income of $43,740, for example, can afford only 26% of the rental and 16% of the for-sale housing in the region, according to the report. For a restaurant server, only 1% of the region’s rental housing is affordable.
An older person relying on Social Security can also afford only 1% of rental housing in the region, according to the report.
The report, called Home for All: Northern Kentucky Housing Strategies, came to be thanks to more than 90 leaders and experts from across NKY who spent hours studying the region and its urgent housing challenge. Their goal was to close the housing gap across income levels and provide a place for everyone.

“The recent housing study from the Northern Kentucky Area Development District indicated that we needed more housing options here in Northern Kentucky,” Moore said in the release. “This housing community will provide quality housing options for the residents of northern Boone County.”
