In keeping with their theme of transforming by-gone neighborhoods into healthy, modern, mixed use complexes, Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse have retuned the once majestic Royal Mill into 250 loft style apartments and over 50,000 sq. ft. of prime retail space. Located just 15 minutes from Providence, Rhode Island, Royal Mills apartments, retail spaces, artist work areas, and their beautiful river side location offer some of the most unique and inspiring living/work leasing in America.
Originally built in 1890, Royal Mills in West Warwick, Rhode Island operated as one of the world’s busiest hydro-powered cotton mills for over 30 years. Partially destroyed by fire in 1919, Royal Mills and its famous clock tower have endured 110 years of harsh weather, heavy industrial use, union strikes, political staging, misplaced cigarettes and dormant neglect.
After cotton production, the Royal Mill saw 40 years of high turnover by numerous manufacturing concerns until it was officially closed in 1993. After sitting vacant and forgotten for over ten years, Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse have recycled the 110 year old building into Rhode Island’s nicest one, two, and loft style bedroom apartments.
