Long considered a residential area, attracting families with its convenience to downtown, excellent schools, high property values and zero earnings tax, Sycamore Township has evolved from a booming post War World II suburb to a shopping hub and in at least the last 15 years, to the premiere location for businesses of every type and size. While Sycamore Township may be synonymous with Kenwood Towne Centre, retail makes up only one piece of its highly successful economic puzzle. According to the latest figures, 1,376 businesses call the Township home. Of these, 1,200 fall into the category of large business and corporations with 200 or more employees and several multi-billon corporations on the Fortune 200 list. The remaining 250 are classified as small or "mom and pop" businesses.

The Jewish Hospital
4777 East Galbraith Road
Cincinnati, OH 45236
In 1997, the Jewish Hospital also moved form its Burnet Avenue location where it had been since 1850 to Galbraith Road in Kenwood. The move was in part to a response to overcrowded market conditions in Cincinnati. Jewish Hospital not only put Sycamore Township on the map with its cutting edge medical procedures – it has been a pioneer in open-heart surgery for the last 30 years and has one of the only adult stem cell transplant programs in the Tri-State. Two large medical office buildings opened across the street from the hospital at the end of 1999. Jewish Hospital moved its medical offices into the space to free up room for inpatient care on its main campus.
