Bloomfield/Schon

What Bloomfield/Schon does

Bloomfield/Schon is a privately-held real estate development company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio at 1527 Madison, Suite B. Founded in 2003, the firm specializes in the adaptive reuse of historic properties and ground-up new construction of market-rate residential and mixed-use developments. Its portfolio spans eight documented projects across Ohio (Cincinnati neighborhoods including Hyde Park, Northside, and Walnut Hills; Hamilton Township) and New York (Ithaca), encompassing over 500 residential units and more than 200,000 square feet of commercial space. The firm's stated mission emphasizes responsible development, innovative architecture, effective management, and positive community contribution.

The company's core activity is acquiring and redeveloping historic structures into modern apartments and commercial space, complemented by select new-build developments. Notable adaptive reuse projects include the Historic Ford Factory (2003, 100,000 sf commercial), American Can Lofts (2011, 110 apartments and 12,000 sf commercial), 1527 Madison (2015, 9,000 sf commercial, which also houses the firm's own headquarters), Kirby School Apts (2016, 40 apartments), and Peters Cartridge Factory (2017, 130 apartments and 15,000 sf commercial). New-build projects include Cayuga Place Apartments (2008, 68 apartments), 2801 Erie Condominium (2009, 13 condos), and Lofts @ Six Mile Creek (2015, 45 apartments). The firm combines market-rate apartment rentals with for-sale condominium offerings and commercial leasing across its portfolio.

Bloomfield/Schon operates a direct-to-consumer sales and leasing model, selling condominiums and leasing apartments and commercial space directly to end customers without intermediaries. It employs 11-50 people and appears to be bootstrapped or self-funded, with no evidence of venture capital, private equity backing, public listing, or M&A activity. Go-to-market relies on project-specific websites (e.g., pcfapts.com) and the corporate website at bloomfieldschon.com, with marketing centered on showcasing completed projects and listing available units. The company holds no patents, has no disclosed partnerships, and has received no documented awards.
