The Gravity development in Franklinton is adding the Idea Foundry to its eye-catching mix of apartments, offices, retail and restaurants.
Gravity’s builder, Kaufman Development, is buying the 65,000-square-foot Idea Foundry at 421 W. State St., which Kaufman calls “the world’s largest makerspace.” The building, which reopened last summer after being closed early in the pandemic, will become part of the adjacent Gravity development.
“The Idea Foundry has long been a vibrant and inclusive maker space for creators, innovators and futurists, and we’re excited to officially incorporate their energy and passion into the Gravity community,” Kaufman Development founder Brett Kaufman said in a news release announcing the purchase.
