The newest COhatch sites bring the number of Cincinnati area locations to seven.
CINCINNATI, OHIO, October 20, 2023 – COhatch, the rapidly growing, community-focused shared work and social space company with locations across the U.S. including Mason, Kenwood, Hyde Park, Milford and Over-the-Rhine, has announced its plans for Hamilton, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky locations.
“We’ve gotten tons of requests to expand north and south of Cincinnati, so we’re making it happen,” said Megan Dotzauer, Cincinnati Market Leader at COhatch. “We’re chomping at the bit to better support the Hamilton and Covington areas, as well as surrounding communities through our workspace solutions and event spaces, as well as through our impact programs.”
COhatch is restoring the historic Second National Bank building in Hamilton at 219 High Street. The 26,000 square foot building’s updates will include coworking seats, private offices, meeting rooms, and an event space. COhatch is exploring options with local partners for a food and beverage operation as well.
“COhatch investing in downtown Hamilton is another indication we are transforming our city into a vibrant work-live hub,” said Joshua Smith, City of Hamilton city manager. “Their shared work and social space will be an amenity that will attract more business and residents to our community, and we are thankful they chose us as their next expansion.”
The project will be part of JobsOhio’s Vibrant Communities Program, which was established to assist small and medium sized communities with the implementation of development projects that fulfill a market need and represent a significant reinvestment in the area.
“Ohio’s historic downtowns are at the heart of our local communities, and rejuvenating them contributes to our state’s economic success,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “Restoring the historic Second National Bank building and creating new space for the citizens of Hamilton to work and connect will infuse job growth and support future development.”

“Cincinnati’s been a really great community for us,” said Matt Davis, co-founder and CEO of COhatch. “We’re excited to continue to see COhatch members, local nonprofits and startups use our Cincinnati-area locations to grow and thrive in these new spaces.”
