Taft Stettinius & Hollister, one of Cincinnati’s largest law firms, has officially unpacked its boxes in a new downtown home, cutting the ribbon on freshly built-out offices at Great American Tower on Monday, March 9, 2026. The firm has taken a high-floor suite that converts a former fine-dining footprint into modern legal workspaces, bringing another major professional-services tenant into the heart of downtown and adding fresh energy to Queen City Square's office roster.
From Dining Room To Deal Room
Taft’s move and the sleek new build-out were detailed by the Cincinnati Business Courier, which reported that the firm staged a photoshoot to show off the finished interiors. According to the Courier, Taft describes the project as a repurposing of a former fine-dining footprint inside Great American Tower, with the firm formally moving in on Monday.
Where To Find Taft Now
Taft’s own directions list the Cincinnati office at 301 E. 4th Street, Suite 2800, and state that the firm occupies the 28th floor, according to materials published by Taft Stettinius & Hollister. Those directions point clients and visitors to the Queen City Square garage for on-site parking.
What The Move Signals For Downtown
Commercial real-estate watchers say the action is increasingly in updated, amenity-rich Class A buildings as some tenants trim or exit older space. JLL highlights that shift in its Q4 2025 market note on the Cincinnati office scene, outlining how demand is concentrating in higher-end towers.
Inside Great American Tower
Great American Tower at Queen City Square is marketed as a flagship Class A property with LEED Gold credentials and a prominent downtown profile. The building’s site lists Taft among its current tenants and calls out the lobby, promenade and integrated garage as key amenities, features that often help tip the scales for prospective tenants, according to Queen City Square.
Taft first announced a long-term lease for space at the tower in early 2024, and Monday’s formal opening completes the relocation from its previous downtown footprint, according to an earlier report from the Cincinnati Business Courier. The move consolidates the firm’s downtown presence and caps several months of build-out work.
For visitors, Taft’s directions continue to recommend entering via the Queen City Square garage and using the elevator banks that serve the 28th-floor suite, as outlined in the firm’s published directions. The firm did not immediately provide additional comment beyond the move announcement, but updated listings and photos confirm that the transition to Great American Tower is complete.
