Singular Style
Spacious loft-style units with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors create the ideal environment for innovation. Oversized arching windows offer amazing views of the river. The ground floor has been reserved for retail shops, restaurants and museum exhibition space.
Developers expect to add a coffee shop and brewpub to make it an even more inviting destination, and plans for a boutique hotel as well as pratice space for musicians are also in the mix. A bike and rollerblade path to the neighboring town of Fairfield is being extended along the river near the building, and a dock will be installed so that tenants can easily access the river.
