The Department of Economic Inclusion is proud to recognize 8K Company as our January 2025 Business Enterprise of the Month!

Beginning in 2009 with the purchase of a single-family home in Northside, 8K Company has grown from a two-person operation to a thriving construction, development, and property management company with 16 full-time employees. Under the leadership of Michael Chewning, Michael Fischer and Barrett McClish, the company has successfully renovated multiple historic buildings creating new affordable housing units across Cincinnati.

In addition to their ongoing projects, 8K Company is proud to announce they recently celebrated a major milestone by closing on a $9 million project known as The Bridge in Evanston. This effort involves renovating three blighted buildings and delivering 27 affordable housing units, while also creating seven commercial spaces retaining long-term businesses and revitalizing the local business district in collaboration with the City, the Port, and the County.

8K Company has broadened their network through their SBE certification with the City, and has continued to utilizing the City's database to find other small, minority, and women-owned businesses to participate in the company's development projects. 8K Company credits their ongoing success to the strong community support they receive through their practice of listening and respecting the neighborhoods they serve.

Congratulations to 8K Company on this achievement and we look forward to celebrating the company's future contributions to Cincinnati!
