Brandicorp is a privately held commercial real estate developer and owner based in Northern Kentucky across the river from Cincinnati. Founded in 1984 by Michael “Mike” Brandy, the firm evolved from single-tenant retail and restaurant work into larger mixed-use, medical, hospitality, and multifamily projects through regional partnerships and repeat relationships. The company develops, owns, operates, and leases properties, with an emphasis on placemaking projects in the Cincinnati–Northern Kentucky metro. It is not publicly traded.
Brandicorp’s core business focus centers on mixed-use district redevelopment and healthcare-adjacent real estate. Signature work includes Montgomery Quarter, a multi-phase, public-private, 21-acre gateway redevelopment in Montgomery, Ohio that blends office, restaurants, apartments, structured parking, and a boutique Hilton Tapestry hotel. The firm is also leading Fort Mitchell Gateway in Kentucky, a 26-acre, multi-use plan anchored by The Ormsby, a contemporary life-plan senior community delivered in partnership with St. Elizabeth Healthcare and Greenbrier Development. Asset classes span retail/restaurant, medical office, multifamily, hotel, and senior living.
The portfolio and active pipeline are highly concentrated in the Cincinnati MSA. Top market exposures include Montgomery, OH; Fort Mitchell, KY; and Bellevue/Newport, KY—the latter also housing Brandicorp’s headquarters. This presents both scale advantages with municipalities and concentration risk given the firm’s strong single-region emphasis. Tenant/customer exposure at Montgomery Quarter includes Fifth Third Private Bank as a major office user alongside restaurant and soft-goods concepts (e.g., Bru Burger, Livery, Hellman’s Fine Men’s Apparel), while hospitality demand is expected to be supported by The Rambler boutique hotel on site. The Fort Mitchell program centers on health-and-senior-living demand generated by St. Elizabeth’s regional presence.
