Historic Textile Building at Plush Mills
Plush Mills, Greenville SC, re-development of a 24,000 square foot abandoned mill originally constructed in 1925. The project utilized New Markets Tax Credits, Federal Historic Tax Credits, State Brownfield Tax Credits, and State Textile Rehabilitation Tax Credits. The facility is leased to a co-working office space company for use by startups and existing businesses. In response to recommendations from the neighborhood residents, the tenant provides discounts to local nonprofit agencies and M Peters Group provides free memberships to agencies with missions that meet specific community needs. We partnered with The City of Greenville and developed a pocket park, provided accessibility for the public around the site, realigned sidewalks along a high traffic roadway to create a green buffer between pedestrians and traffic, increased security with lighting, and provided additional public parking.

The development consists of historical renovations that meet the National Park Service standards.
