WinnCompanies Completes Holyoke Seniors Adaptive Reuse

WinnCompanies has completed a $55.3-million adaptive reuse that transformed a long-vacant, historic mill complex into 88 affordable apartment homes for seniors ages 55 and older.

The project in downtown Holyoke, MA created Residences on Appleton, featuring new loft-style apartments created within three interconnected, 111-year-old industrial buildings that were vacant for decades. The community reached full occupancy in December, less than three months after it opened.

“This effort preserved an iconic feature of Holyoke’s proud industrial legacy, created much-needed housing for seniors who want to stay in the community they love, and provided an economic boost to the city’s downtown,” said WinnDevelopment chairman Larry Curtis. “We hope to begin work soon on a second phase that will deliver 75 additional apartments in an adjacent part of the complex.”

The project transformed part of what was once the largest alpaca wool mill complex in the world.
