Old Delco Factory Building to be converted to Loft Apartments
The historic Delco building, located on First Street next to Fifth Third Field is currently being converted into residential loft apartments, thanks to $3.25 million dollars in Ohio historic preservation tax credits.
The City of Dayton released a new episode of "Inside Dayton" yesterday (scroll down for video), in which the project was discussed with developer Jason Woodard of Woodard Development.
"We're converting an old, empty warehouse into 132 residential units. We'll also have a restaurant on the first floor, and interior parking for the residents within the building" said Woodard.
Plans also call for restoring the 6th floor corner office of Charles Kettering, which overlooks the ballpark. Kettering’s office will be part of a shared event space available to residents, according to Woodard.
The Delco Lofts, as they are expected to be known, will be ready for their first residents in the Spring of 2017. Get a sneak peek of this space and other downtown housing options during the Downtown Housing Tour on May 7.
