Project Description

Renovation of historic office building with community facilities. United Properties Investment, LLC has successfully completed the Ford Center redevelopment project by transforming a former automobile factory into a 269,000 sq. ft., LEED-certified Class A office building targeted to creative services businesses. The Ford Center redevelopment project returned a 95-year-old, dilapidated Ford Assembly plant to its historic condition for lease to office tenants. It is the first office project in the “North Loop” neighborhood for over 10 years and the aesthetically pleasing redevelopment and environmentally friendly design served to stimulate other economic development in this historic neighborhood.
