Former Ford Motor Company Transmission Plant in Batavia, Ohio

Batavia, OH – Former Ford Motor Company Transmission Plant

Challenge
In 2008, Ford Motor Company closed its transmission plant in Batavia, Ohio, vacating their 1.8 million-square-foot campus. This closure resulted in the loss of over 1,700 jobs, delivering an economic blow to the community and the region.

Solution
After ICP acquired the campus, they immediately began a $12.5 million revitalization of the facility. ICP’s significant experience with adaptive reuse of other large manufacturing and former automotive facilities, in conjunction with a successful marketing campaign, resulted in the quick reletting of over one million square feet. The University of Cincinnati leased the former corporate office space for a satellite program. Huhtamaki, a supplier of high-end paper and plastic food containers, initially leased 940,000 square feet of warehouse space and with their upcoming expansion will occupy almost 1.2 million square feet.

Outcome
The once-vacant automotive plant is now a vibrant center for industry. . Huhtamaki has invested over $60,000,000 into the site, bringing over 500 new jobs to the community.
