The Clock Tower is serving as an anchor attraction and is flanking a new “Central Green” which will serve as a Town Center for Norwood, a 19th century independent city surrounded by the City of Cincinnati. New residential buildings, retail, and future mixed use and office are also planned for the site. The original Shipping Facility was redeveloped and expanded as a “Food Innovation Hub” named Gatherall and has a mix of unique food vendors, chefs, and restaurateurs.

The community amenities and streetscape are a deference to the heritage of the site, and provide a variety of activities and spaces to gather as a community including a large central “hearth” in the Central Green, areas for performances, outdoor plaza-based splash pad for family summer activities, pickleball courts, a new dog park, and a variety of places for food and drink to be served.

The Factory 52 development serves as a catalyst for rejuvenating the eastern precinct of the city, offering a pedestrian-friendly community for residents and visitors with its blend of residential, retail, recreational, and outdoor communal spaces. Not only does it invite residents of Norwood to return repeatedly, but it also emerges as a sought-after entertainment hub for neighboring communities. The development artfully integrates the site’s rich historical heritage, seamlessly weaving together existing landmark structures with carefully conceived new buildings, paying homage to the site’s history.
