Officials and community leaders welcomed the Gordon Street Lofts Tuesday morning.
Located just outside Greenville City limits near the intersection of Easley Bridge Road and South Washington Avenue, Gordon Street Lofts features 116 units, priced for families earning 60 percent AMI. M Peters Group, Greenberg Farrow and J Davis Construction are the developers on the project.
As part of a refurbished textile mill, the approximately 160,000 square foot structure includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom units.
“Gordon Street Lofts offers an unbeatable location in the vibrant, creative heart of West Greenville, one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods,” said Mark Peter, president of the M. Peters Group. “Our goal for Gordon Street Lofts has been to take the old and make it new again to serve the community.”
Joel Davis, president of J. Davis Construction, said it’s part of the company’s mission to create positive community impacts such as Gordon Street Lofts.
“We are honored to be part of the team to enhance an unused property and repurpose it for families to live in some of the best quality housing in Greenville,” he said.
Greenville-based NHE, Inc., will be serving as the community management team.
“We are excited to help bring Gordon Street Lofts to fruition,” said Taylor Davis, President of NHE. “We always support the creation of affordable housing that meets the needs of the community. This property is special because of its location and reuse.”

Davis Construction is to use our expertise to have a positive impact on the communities we serve,” said Joel Davis, the company’s president. “We are honored to be part of the team to enhance an unused property and repurpose it for families to live in some of the best quality housing in Greenville.”
In August 2023, Greenville County Council authorized a special source credit agreement that allowed the developer to offset investments in infrastructure related to the project against payments in lieu of taxes owed to the county. It required a minimum investment of $7.5 million within the first five years of the agreement, which has been met. In addition, the community was placed in a multi-county industrial and business park in order to qualify for the incentives.
“It’s a win every time we can create affordable housing opportunities in Greenville,” said County Councilman Alan Mitchell.
