OUR HISTORY

Towne Properties was established in 1961 with the express purpose of leading the renaissance of Mt. Adams, an old-world hilltop village that overlooks downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River.  The renovation of four 100-year-old structures on St. Gregory Street into 14 exciting apartments attracted local and national attention and began a corporate commitment to great design, construction and management that are the hallmarks of Towne Properties. 

From its Mt. Adams beginnings, Towne took its development philosophy to the suburbs.  There it created some of the region's best developments,  Luxurious apartment communities like Indian Creek and the Falls at Landen; major planned communities like Wildwood and Landen; single-family neighborhoods like Tanager Woods in Montgomery and Carpenter's Run in blue Ash; upscale retail at Fountain Place, the Backstage District and Kenwood Towne Centre; offices at Governor's Hill and Mt. Adams; and recreational facilities at the Four Seasons Marina and The Club at Harper's Point.

Early in its career Towne constructed Cincinnati's very first condominium - the Celestial Street Townhouses in Mt. Adams. Since then, Towne has produced a distinguished list of award-winning condominium developments all with premier locations, superb designs and an attention to detail and workmanship rare in today's marketplace.  Among these are Applewood, Twin Lakes and Quail Meadows at Wildwood in Fairfield, the region's first condos on a golf course; the Ingleside in Walnut Hills overlooking the Ohio River, the city's most successful mid-rise condominium; the Glen at Carpenter's Run in Blue Ash, part of a mixed-use project along a championship golf course; and the internationally acclaimed Cloisters in Mt. Adams.

Towne has led the revitalization of downtown Cincinnati with apartments at The Gramercy, Groton Lofts, The Greenwich and The Lofts at Shillito Place, the 700 Walnut Office Building, and with the Cincinnati Development Group, Fountain Place and the Gano Alley Building featuring Nicholson's restaurant.

The tradition of creating "Great Places" continues with the development of outstanding new condominium and landominium home communities including award-winning Somerset, in north Montgomery, Four Bridges Landominiums at the Four Bridges Country Club and national award winner Twain's Point at Adams Landing along the Ohio River just east of downtown.

Throughout its diverse history, Towne has never lost sight of its original philosophy: a Master Developer that carefully follows every step of the development process from concept through design, construction and long-term management.  Towne is proud of creating truly Great Places to Live, Work, Shop and Play and earning the undisputed title of the region's Most Honored Developer".
