Linden Pointe on the Lateral
5025 Carthage Avenue, Norwood, Ohio


In July 2005, the Port Authority, together with the City of Norwood as a co-applicant, was awarded $750,000 in Clean Ohio Assistance Funds for the cleanup of the 15-acre former General Motors Corporation property, located at 5025 Carthage Avenue in the City of Norwood. The site owner and developer, Al. Neyer, Inc., redeveloped the property and an adjacent property into Linden Pointe on the Lateral, an approximately $65 million master development of approximately 600,000 square feet of office space in six buildings, 24,000 square feet of retail space and two stand-alone restaurant sites. It is anticipated that this development will bring more than 1,750 jobs to the City of Norwood and an estimated $3 million in tax revenue to local governments.
Because prior owners had partially remediated the site, construction of the development was able to begin in one area of the property, while cleanup of remaining soil and groundwater contamination was conducted in other areas. This enabled Neyer to proceed with the construction of a 95,000-square-foot, four-story, mixed-use retail and office building, which was completed in 2007.
