A & Indiana

The former Hoyle Harrison and Kaye Textile Mill, constructed in 1893, developed out of a small partnership of immigrant weavers to become one of the largest textile firms in the city. After standing vacant for many years, the 5-story, 140,000 SF facility is now
home to Kensington Commons – a multi-phased, mixed-use campus that includes affordable housing for low-income families, medical and social services, a recreational facility, two green spaces, a training site for tradespeople, and transitional housing for
veterans.

O&N provided structural services for the renovation and facade restoration of the existing mill building into apartments consisting of 48 affordable family housing units and 56 units of veterans transitional housing, as well as 70,000 SF of nonresidential commercial space.
