Warner & Swasey’s graffiti-tatted husk used to manufacture telescopes at 5701 Carnegie Ave. Yet, where urban epitaphs scrawl MidTown’s biggest eyesore, so do incantations of rebirth.
“I think of it as my Shrek project,” says Geoff Milz, Cincinnati-based Pennrose’s director of development. “It’s a monster that everybody wants to win.”
Milz reimagines Warner & Swasey as 140 residential units, an 18-month construction project with a $66.3 million price tag. The project, dating to 2017, received major encouragement last December.
Through the Ohio Department of Development’s Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program, 60 projects throughout Ohio were collectively awarded $81,693,579 in historic tax credits. Seven in Northeast Ohio transform historic, Cleveland buildings into residential space. Two of them are in MidTown.
