The Fountain Square District is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Fifth Street and Vine Street in downtown Cincinnati. Fountain Square Plaza is located in proximity to the Great American Ballpark, Paul Brown Stadium, the National Underground Freedom Center, the Cincinnati Convention Center and the Aronoff Performing Arts Center.
With the direction and assistance of the City of Cincinnati, 3CDC, Downtown Cincinnati Inc., and surrounding building owners, the Fountain Square District is currently undergoing massive renovations that will include the refurbishment of the Fountain Square parking structure, the relocation of the famed Tyler Davidson Fountain to a more prominent location on the square, residential redevelopment of the former McAlpin’s building and the 18 East Fourth Street building, the exterior renovation of the 580 building, and exterior improvements to the 5/3 Bank building elevations.
The purpose of these efforts is to reinvigorate the once famed hub of downtown Cincinnati, with the goal to create a vibrant, park-like, retail and public gathering venue. Look for a “greener”, well landscaped Fountain Square that provides easy access and parking, and that creates a reason for downtown residents, visitors and workforce to visit, dine, shop and relax at the square.
The Fountain Square Plaza retail area consists of approximately 48,000 square feet of retail space fronting along Fifth Street, Vine Street, Sixth Street and Walnut Street.
