When the 11-story Bingham Warehouse was built in 1915, it was said to be "the largest single unit
for wholesale hardware merchandising in the world." A $70 million renovation has converted 'The
Bingham' into 340 loft apartments with indoor parking and 25,000 square feet of retail space,
taking advantage of the Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit offered through the Ohio Historic
Preservation Office. Completed in three phases, the project was able to obtain financing despite
the city's rising vacancy rate by offering premium amenities and introducing a housing product
unlike any other in Cleveland's Historic Warehouse District. For years, Cleveland had been seeking
a grocer willing to invest in the neighborhood. Now a full-service market and deli in The Bingham
serves thousands of Clevelanders who call downtown 'home.' Renovation of The Bingham had an
immediate economic impact, creating 300 construction jobs, and about 25 property management jobs
after construction was done. Today The Bingham stands out among its neighbors as a treasured
landmark and as one of the largest buildings that has been refurbished in the Warehouse District.
