At Reveille, we specialize in breathing new life into dormant, underutilized properties, transforming complex obstacles into catalysts for community vitality and economic prosperity. A prime example of this work is our partnership with the City of Northwood to completely reimagine the former 123-acre Woodville Mall site. Through comprehensive planning, strategic grant procurement, and proactive financial engineering, Reveille helped guide Northwood officials from initial demolition to the creation of The Enclave: Northwest Ohio’s premier sustainable, age-friendly mixed-use neighborhood and new community downtown.
Reveille’s hands-on involvement spanned every phase of the project lifecycle. Our team secured vital state and local grant funding to safely clear vacant, blighted structures and worked closely with financial advisors to secure a strong community bond rating, allowing the city to issue tax-exempt bonds for infrastructure installation. To ensure the vision matched community needs, Reveille led extensive public engagement efforts, facilitating multiple design charrettes and community forums that shaped the master plan. Furthermore, we helped structure aggressive economic development tools, including a 100% 15-year Community Reinvestment Area (CRA), a 30-year Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, and local jobs grants. Today, these synchronized efforts have successfully catalyzed over $100 million in current and planned public-private investments, bringing diverse housing, senior living opportunities, commercial retail, walking trails, and the new Northwood Community and Recreation Center to life.
