Ohatch is officially moving forward with one of its biggest projects yet, and it’s headed straight for the heart of Historic Dublin.
The locally founded coworking and community brand has finalized a private-public partnership with the City of Dublin to bring Riverview Village to life, a nearly two-acre innovation district along the Scioto River, just west of Bridge Park and steps from the Dublin Link. The goal? Turn a long-anticipated stretch of riverfront into a walkable, buzzing hub for entrepreneurs, small businesses, nonprofits, and the community at large.
The project has been in the works since 2023, with the partnership officially completed in December. Construction is expected to wrap up in the next 18 to 24 months.
“This is our biggest initiative to date,” said COhatch CEO and co-founder Matt Davis. “We are creating the future of work and life, a place where thousands of entrepreneurs, innovators, and small business owners can live their best lives in the communities they love.”
Riverview Village will sit on the west bank of the Scioto River and blend historic buildings with new development. Plans include a new 14,000-square-foot COhatch headquarters featuring private offices, coworking space, meeting rooms, and an event space that can host more than 100 people.
Three turn-of-the-century homes will be fully restored and used for work retreats, complete with outdoor patios designed for brainstorming, dining, and connecting.
But this won’t just be a Monday-through-Friday workspace. Evenings and weekends will transform the area into a community gathering spot, with art festivals, family events, street markets, startup showcases, and speaker series open to the public.
Food and drink will also play a big role.
North High Brewing’s historic 1890 farmhouse location will be refreshed as part of the development, and a brand-new riverfront restaurant, bar, and café called Reds is planned. Reds will be led by a world-class chef and managed by COhatch’s newly formed Lifestyle Group.
Another standout piece of the project is how it’s handling tax incentives. Riverview Village will offer special incentives specifically designed for small businesses, and COhatch plans to pass those benefits directly on to its members, rather than keeping them at the developer level.
“Riverview Village represents a highly connected environment for innovation and entrepreneurship,” said Dublin City Manager Megan O’Callaghan. “It reflects Dublin’s vision as a sustainable, connected, and resilient city of choice.”
The site will also connect directly to future green space at Riverside Crossing Park West, with public decks, patios, and river overlooks designed for lingering, relaxing, and soaking up the view.
Beyond bricks and mortar, COhatch says the project aligns closely with its broader mission. Through its GIVE Scholarship and Boost Scholarship programs, the company already provides coworking access and resources to nonprofits and startups across the region, and Riverview Village is expected to expand that impact even further.
