Once complete, the new HQ will be the first two-story mass timber building in the Midwest and the first of its kind in Cincinnati.

The $32 million, 35,000-square-foot building will feature two on-air studios, two interview studios, one performance studio, 11,000 square feet of office space and a public gathering area. The building is set to open Winter of 2024.

The new CPR HQ will serve as a beacon of innovation, housing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable construction methods, with a particular focus on the utilization of Cross Laminated Timber. The entire column and beam structure, second floor, roof structure, as well as a selection of interior shear walls and exterior perimeter walls will be made from mass timber.
