Former Baldwin piano factory transformed into urban loft apartments: PHOTOS bizjournals.com /cincinnati/news/2017/06/13/former-baldwin-piano-factory-transformed-into.html Jun 13, 2017, 6:57am EDT It has been nearly three years since Neyer Properties purchased the Baldwin Complex along Interstate 71 in Walnut Hills. Now, the massive redevelopment of the Grand Baldwin building into 190 loft-style apartments is nearly complete. Neyer Properties partnered with Casto to redevelop the building at 655 Eden Park Drive. Originally built in the early 1920s as the home of the Baldwin Co., this building housed 2,000 employees who made 11,000 pianos in the first five years of operation. After Baldwin left in 1961, it remained vacant until 1987, when Corporex Cos. redeveloped it into office space. Now, the building is expected to be home to about 280 residents living in urban loft-style apartments. To get a look at a few of the apartments in the Baldwin, click on the images above. One-bedroom apartments at the Baldwin range from a starting price of $1,199 per month for a 762-square-foot unit to a starting price of $1,999 per month for a 1,114-square-foot unit. The two-bedroom apartments range from a starting price of $1,809 per month for a 1,353-square-foot unit to starting price of $2,999 per month for a 1,693square-foot unit. Neyer and Casto hired HGC Construction as the construction manager for the project, PDT Architects as the architect and Fred Mitchell of Historic Preservation Associates to help with the renovation. Other partners include the city of Cincinnati, Walnut Hills community, Cincinnati Park Board, New Republic, Development Strategies Group, First Merchants Bank, Tri-State Bank, Huntington Bank and Nationwide Insurance. In addition to the apartments, the building will house a sports simulator and lounge areas, a fitness center and storage areas for residents. Outside the building there will be a pool deck with views of Cincinnati’s skyline. Tom Demeropolis Senior Staff Reporter Cincinnati Business Courier
