Celebrating Gold at the 2024 Best in American Living™ Awards

|

We are elated to share that Factory 52 has been honored with the Gold Award in the Adaptive Reuse/Redevelopment category at the 2024 Best in American Living™ Awards (BALA), presented by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). This accolade underscores our dedication to blending historical preservation with contemporary design, creating a space that resonates with both history and modernity.

A Journey from Past to Present

Factory 52 stands on the historic grounds of the former U.S. Playing Card Company in Norwood, Ohio. Recognizing the site's rich industrial heritage, our vision was to rejuvenate this landmark into a vibrant mixed-use community that pays homage to its storied past while serving the present needs of residents and visitors alike.

Looking Ahead

Receiving the Gold Award at the BALA is not just a recognition of our past efforts but also an inspiration for our future endeavors. We remain committed to fostering a community-centric environment at Factory 52, continually evolving to meet the dynamic needs of Norwood and the greater Cincinnati area.​

We invite everyone to visit Factory 52, explore its unique offerings, and become part of a community where history and innovation coexist harmoniously.
