PLK Communities

We’re proud to announce the acquisition of American Can Lofts, an iconic property in Cincinnati’s Northside neighborhood that seamlessly combines historic charm with modern loft-style living. Originally built as a factory for the American Can Company in 1921, this landmark has been transformed into a vibrant residential community that embodies the unique character and culture of Northside. American Can Lofts now joins our growing portfolio at PLK Communities, marking another step toward our ambitious goal of reaching 9,000 units by 2029. With this acquisition, we’re not only expanding our footprint in Cincinnati, but also deepening our commitment to creating spaces where residents feel truly at home – places that #FeelsLikeHome. We’re also thrilled to bring the American Can Lofts team into the PLK family. Their dedication has been essential to the community’s success, and we look forward to collaborating as we work toward an even brighter future for this remarkable property. Situated alongside our Gantry Apartments in Northside, American Can Lofts strengthens our presence in a neighborhood we know and love. We’re excited to continue investing in this community and to provide more residents with the opportunity to experience the unique, eclectic atmosphere Northside has to offer. Stay tuned as we look forward to sharing updates and plans for American Can Lofts in the coming months. Together, we’re excited to carry forward a legacy of excellence and community engagement. #PLKCommunities #AmericanCanLofts #NorthsideCincinnati #FeelsLikeHome #CommunityBuilding #HistoricProperties #9Kx2029 Cincinnati Business Courier Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association The Cincinnati Enquirer

At PLK Communities, we believe in building more than just homes; we strive to create vibrant, supportive communities. Today, our Training Department partnered with the Freestore Foodbank at the Bea Taylor Market to give back and serve our neighbors in need. It was an honor to volunteer alongside Cincinnati Bengals’ Sam Hubbard, a true hometown hero who embodies the spirit of giving. Sam Hubbard’s dedication to combating food insecurity in the Greater Cincinnati area is truly inspiring. Through the Sam Hubbard Foundation, he has launched impactful initiatives like Hubbard’s Cupboards, which supplies local schools with essential food and resources to support underprivileged students?. His commitment extends beyond the field, as he continuously hosts events like the Fowling Tournament, which raises funds to further support his foundation’s mission . For PLK Communities, supporting organizations like the Freestore Foodbank aligns with our core values of community and philanthropy. With food insecurity rates significantly higher in Hamilton County compared to the national average, we recognize the importance of standing together to make a difference . By collaborating with local leaders like Sam and impactful organizations like the Freestore, we aim to drive positive change and build stronger communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful impact today and look forward to continuing our partnership with these amazing local heroes. Together, we can ensure that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need. ???? Live Proud.
