The Fairmont Creamery

The Fairmont Creamery, originally built in 1930, is a dynamic community that grew out of a once abandoned 107,000 square foot dairy factory. In 2014, SCA began a twenty million dollar rehabilitation of the facility. Today, it is home to 30 residential suites and 6 commercial offices, and the building is once again an activated stop between Ohio City and Tremont after sitting vacant for more than thirty years. As a revitalization and preservation effort, the Creamery retains and celebrates much of this history. Walk-in coolers have been transformed into bedrooms and gym locker rooms. The glazed yellow brick interior walls, originally used for food safety, remain throughout the building. The enormous concrete columns and beams, designed to carry the weight of millions of gallons of milk, are highlighted in every space. All windows, dock doors and signage have been rebuilt according to their 1930’s design. Our hope is that when a visitor walks through the Creamery today, they feel both a sense of Cleveland’s industrial past, and Cleveland’s incredible potential as it re-purposes and re-imagines itself. The Fairmont Creamery offers a variety of units ranging from efficient studios to spacious two bedrooms. Every unit features large windows, historic elements like concrete beams and exposed, yellow-glazed brick, and modern amenities. Underground garage parking is also available. Aside from the historic charm inside each suite, the Fairmont Creamery offers amenities that allow residents to take advantage of the location and become active members of the Creamery’s community. The Tremont Athletic Club, a commercial tenant in the building, offers residents a discounted monthly membership to its two-level, 14,000 square foot gym space. The Roof Deck has some of the best views of Cleveland and community garden space for all that are interested.
