This exceptional Over-the-Rhine restaurant property, located at 1500 Race Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, presents a unique investment opportunity. The property boasts a prime location on the streetcar line, offering phenomenal visibility and high foot traffic. The existing restaurant space totals 3,122-4,124 square feet, encompassing both a first-floor and basement level, each approximately 1561 square feet. A significant advantage is the inclusion of an enclosed private courtyard and promenade seating area, leased from the city. All existing restaurant furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), along with a D5-D6 liquor license, are included in the sale price of $1,274,000. An existing CRA tax abatement is payable through 2026. Beyond the restaurant space, this listing includes three undeveloped upper floors (totaling approximately 3,000 sq ft) of a four-story building, with a planned HOA to be formed. Zoned CC-P, these upper floors offer significant potential for residential conversion, with existing building plans for 1 studio, 1 one-bedroom, and 2 two-bedroom units available for transfer to the new owner. The building features new Marvin windows and a roof installed in 2016, and the upper floors have rough-ins for plumbing, gas, and electric. The 0.082-acre lot is situated within easy walking distance of Washington Park, Music Hall, Vine Street, TQL Stadium, and Findlay Market, ensuring a diverse customer base and strong potential for future success. The property consists of two units and was built in 1895. This is a truly remarkable opportunity to acquire a turn-key restaurant with significant upside potential in one of Cincinnati's most vibrant neighborhoods.

Realmo Value Estimation
Realmo estimates a property’s market value using a proprietary methodology that incorporates public data and user-submitted information. This cumulative value is generated by integrating a variety of conventional and innovative methods.
Disclaimer
These figures are not official appraisals and should not be used as a substitute for a valuation performed by a licensed appraiser.
Actual market value may differ due to factors not captured in the data. Estimates are offered for informational purposes only, and users should conduct independent research before making financial or investment decisions.
By using this feature, you acknowledge that Realmo is not responsible for actions taken based on these estimates.
AI approach
Realmo AI Method estimates property value using machine learning models trained on millions of comparable listings, transactions, and market signals. It analyzes property features, location intelligence data, and current market dynamics to predict the most probable market value in real time.
Cap approach
Capitalization Method calculates value based on estimated net operating income (NOI) and applying a market-based capitalization rate (cap rate), we estimate what a typical investor might be willing to pay for it.
Comparable approach
Comparable estimate is based on recent sales of similar nearby properties, adjusted for factors like size, condition, and location.
Relative
Relative property class coefficient uses factors that account for typical price differences between various asset types (e.g., retail vs. industrial) to provide a more accurate market-aligned estimate.
Geo
Comparable Sales Method, enhanced by Geo coefficients — location-based adjustment factors that reflect differences in price levels
across neighborhoods, cities, or regions ensuring a more accurate, market-sensitive valuation.
Alternative use
Estimate considers the property’s potential value if used for a different purpose-based on zoning, demand, and market feasibility.
