Hellmann Creative Center · Property For Lease

Completed in 2016, The Hellmann Creative Center, a project of The Center for Great Neighborhoods, is a 14,000 sq. ft. historic lumber mill building that sits in the middle of the Westside community of Covington. For 130 years, the Lumber Mill welcomed people with dreams and ideas for their homes and businesses and helped turn these hopes into reality. Once the largest employer in the neighborhood, children would point to the building and tell others: “That’s where my church pew was made” or “That’s where my father builds things.” Unfortunately, the economic climate drastically changed, and for 10 years the Mill sat vacant, a grim reminder to the community of what it once was. The Hellmann Lumber mill was saved during the widening of 12th Street (now Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard), and on October 22, 2013 it was auctioned off as an historic site to the Center for Great Neighborhoods. On September 5, 2016, the building reopened as the Hellmann Creative Center. It is now home to The Center for Great Neighborhood’s offices, 8 artist studios, 8 private offices, and over 3,000 square feet of public event space. Hellmann is once again in the business of welcoming people to turn their ideas and dreams into reality!
