New residences going up on site of old Mill
Units indicative of changing trend
While central Spartanburg is rapidly transforming its appeal into a nationally renowned downtown district with new businesses and living spaces, the fringes of the city aren’t going to be far behind – as soon as construction crews put up a new $51 million, Class A apartment complex in historic Beaumont Village. Work began in earnest Sept. 1 on Beaumont Mill, a 275-unit multifamily mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom options on 7.5 acres, less than a mile from Wofford College, on the site of the old Beaumont textile mill. But more than just another residential development, officials behind the project see it as another example of a city on the move.
