Fischer Homes, a Northern Kentucky-based homebuilder, announced it will be building 60 homes at Memorial Pointe, a community being built at the site of the former Beverly Hills Supper Club.The site had previously had memorials standing since a fire destroyed the building and killed 165 people in 1977.Fischer Homes said it will build 60 homes at the Memorial Pointe residential community being developed on hilltop property in Southgate. “Memorial Pointe is a tremendous location for the low maintenance, single-family home community we plan to offer,” Jason Finch, Market President for Fischer Homes Northern Kentucky Division Manager said in a statement. “It is convenient to Interstate 471, the nearby neighborhood business districts of Southgate and Fort Thomas as well as Downtown Cincinnati and will feature green space, a pocket park and some home sites with golf course views of Highland Country Club.” Ashley Homes had resolved a lawsuit with some descendants of fire victims over the plans for the property with an agreement that would allow construction to proceed on most of the 80-acre site in Southgate, but reserve the area where the Cabaret Room was located for a permanent memorial to victims.The Edgewood-based building company said the memorial will be donated to the city of Southgate when it is completed.The homes that Fischer will build at Memorial Pointe are part of the same collection found at Villa Grande, a community of luxury homes that sits on a hilltop vista above I-471 in Fort Thomas, the builder stated. The homes include the five-level floor plans, ranch and designs with first-floor owner’s retreats.Memorial Pointe covers 80 acres and in addition to residential development, the community will maintain green space and include a park as well as connections to Highland Country Club, which is across Blossom Lane from the site. Access to Memorial Pointe will be from U.S. 27 and from Blossom Lane. “We are thrilled to have Fischer Homes join us at Memorial Pointe,” Bill Kreutzjans Jr. of Ashley Builders Group said in a statement, which is also planning to develop 20 homes at the site. “Like Ashley, Fischer Homes is a Northern Kentucky company that has built an excellent reputation by delivering high-quality homes and communities.” Fischer Homes said it is also committed to supporting the public memorial to the 165 victims of the 1977 Beverly Hills Supper Club fire that is planned as part of the community. “Fischer Homes is a company with its roots in Northern Kentucky, and we know well the deep and lasting impact the Beverly Hills fire had on the community and on those who lost loved ones, friends and colleagues,” Finch said. “We want to do our part to ensure that they will never be forgotten as well as honor the first responders who bravely battled the fire and tended to the injured.” The public memorial is planned for land along U.S. 27 and will include the names of the victims; a list of local first responder units that responded to the fire; a list of the federal and state fire safety regulations that were implemented as a result of the fire; and maps of the site in 1977. Ashley Builders Group is jointly developing the project with Vision Realty Group. In addition to the site development, Vision Realty Group will also be developing the 200 apartments at Memorial Pointe in a partnership with North American Properties.
