"Trenton Mill Lofts is my favorite LMG project. It's an excellent example of using historic tax credits and a robust city partnership to transform a former mill space into beautifully designed and curated apartments close to downtown Gastonia. From an asset management perspective, it provides an opportunity not just to breathe life into a part of local history, but also to ensure the longevity and operational success of the community that now calls Trenton Mill home."
