The Historic Ford Factory

The Historic Ford Factory is an adaptive use project that involved the transformation of an auto assembly plant into a six-story, 120,000-square-foot (11,148-square-meter) modern office building. The rehabilitation and conversion of the formerly deteriorating 1915 landmark, once declared a “Blight of the Week” by a local newspaper, were conducted in compliance with National Park Service (NPS) guidelines. The project is in a prominent highway location just four miles (6.4 kilometers) from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The building is fully leased at market-rate or above-market-rate rents in a relatively soft market. The development includes 470 surface and structured parking spaces.
