Renovation
In 2004 it was approved by the City of Greenville to renovate the old Monaghan Mill into a 183-unit apartment complex. In 2006 construction began under guidance of developer Upstate Developers LLC. Developers have been taking advantage of the tax breaks that are offered in the redevelopment of historical mills.
The Lofts of Greenville is now a state of the art residential facility, complete with theater room, pool and spa, and with numerous floor plans to choose from.
