Heuser Hearing Institute opens West Broadway office inside Gateway on Broadway affordable housing development in Louisville

A new West End site adds hearing and communication services within a mixed-use residential redevelopment

Heuser Hearing Institute has opened a new office on West Broadway, adding another access point for hearing-related services in Louisville’s West End. The office is located within Gateway on Broadway, a recently completed adaptive-reuse development that brought 116 affordable, loft-style apartments to a long-vacant property on West Broadway.

The placement inside a residential building reflects a growing model in local development: pairing health-related services and everyday retail with housing, particularly in projects designed to keep rents affordable and stabilize occupancy. Gateway on Broadway includes on-site amenities such as a barbershop and coffee service alongside the hearing institute’s new presence.

What the new office represents

Heuser Hearing Institute is a Louisville-based nonprofit that has operated since 1948 and provides hearing healthcare, speech and language services, and related support programs. Its service portfolio includes clinical care for adults and children, education programming through its hearing and language academy, and a statewide access effort that uses mobile and permanent screening capacity.

The West Broadway office expands the institute’s footprint beyond its existing network of clinics and care sites across the Louisville area. The organization maintains multiple locations, including clinics branded for Broadway, Old Louisville, Lyndon and Breckenridge, as well as an academy site and other care settings.

Gateway on Broadway and the West Broadway corridor

Gateway on Broadway occupies a site with a long history of reuse, including earlier industrial and warehouse functions. The redevelopment—completed in November 2025—converted the building into apartments with rental assistance structures that cap resident housing costs as a share of income. The project also relocated nonprofit office space to the property and introduced storefront-style services intended to be used by residents and the surrounding neighborhood.

West Broadway is a major east-west corridor in Louisville, running through neighborhoods that have seen sustained public and private investment activity in recent years. Health-related services have also been expanding along the corridor, including new clinical sites and community-based care models aimed at reducing barriers such as transportation, appointment availability, and affordability.
