Groundbreaking at Historic Trenton Mill Lofts in Gastonia Reflects Growth in Revitalizing Downtown Areas
Gastonia, N.C. (October 30, 2020) – Kaufman Lynn Construction broke ground today for the Trenton Mill Lofts, located at 612 West Main Avenue in the heart of Gastonia’s Franklin Urban Sports and Entertainment (FUSE) District. Trenton Mill Lofts will serve the rising number of North Carolinians choosing to live in smaller cities like Gastonia, considered a vital corridor for commuters to the Charlotte metropolitan area.
Built in 1897, the historic Trenton Mill was Gastonia’s second textile factory and the oldest still standing. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2021, the new Trenton Mill Lofts will comprise 82,000-square-feet with 89 residential units and surface parking. LMG Group is the developer of Trenton Mill Lofts and RAM will be the property manager.
“Trenton Mill Lofts represents a growing trend in the revitalization of downtown areas across the state of North Carolina,” said Michael Kaufman, CEO of Kaufman Lynn Construction. “We are creating a future for grand historic buildings by repurposing them to meet the needs of twenty-first century residents.”
