Co-Made

Project Description

Queen City Hills, LLC is an ownership group comprised of prominent local executives with extensive business and real estate investment experience. In October 2018, they signed a letter of intent with Uptown Consortium to develop the southwest corner of the Uptown Innovation Corridor. The selection of a minority-owned development team is a key component of the economic inclusion model that UCI has prioritized in the Uptown Innovation Corridor. The facility, whose cost is pegged at $26 million, would be the home of CoMade, a nonprofit venture that will work to incubate new manufacturing ideas and create programs to train a diverse manufacturing workforce. Plans for the facility also include a tool bank, where homeowners in nearby neighborhoods could borrow tools to repair their residences.
