Judson Mill District celebrated the grand opening of The Jenny + Westervelt Apartments today, marking the completion of the historic mill’s multi-year revitalization into a vibrant mixed-use community on Greenville’s west side. The $60 million adaptive reuse of the Jenny and Westervelt buildings adds 181 loft-style apartments and approximately 170,000 square feet of thoughtfully restored residential space to the 36-acre campus.
Located within two of the mill’s most historic structures, The Jenny + Westervelt showcase preserved brick, timber beams, soaring ceilings and oversized windows alongside modern layouts and high-quality finishes. Floor plans range from studios to three-bedroom lofts, offering residents authentic mill character paired with contemporary comfort. The buildings once supported key textile operations at the mill, including yarn production.
“The Jenny + Westervelt reflect our commitment to preserving the character of this place while creating spaces that serve today’s residents,” said Thomas F. Taft, Jr., principal at Taft Family Ventures. “These homes feel rooted in history yet completely modern and welcoming."
The opening of The Jenny + Westervelt also marks a major milestone in Judson Mill District’s effort to preserve and restore the historic mill in a way that honors its past while looking toward its future.
Since 2019, Belmont Sayre, Taft Family Ventures, and Madrock Advisors have transformed over 800,000 square feet of former industrial space into a mix of housing, offices, restaurants, retail, entertainment, creative workspaces, and community uses. Today, more than 1,000 people live and work across the 36-acre campus.
“Today not only marks the completion of these incredible loft apartments, it also marks the completion of a vision that began several years ago and has grown into something truly special,” said Ken Reiter, co-developer of Judson Mill District and president of Belmont Sayre. “We set out to honor the legacy of this site while creating a place that feels alive, connected and welcoming — and The Jenny + Westervelt bring that vision to life.”
Judson Mill District has earned multiple recognitions for its redevelopment and design, including the Greenville Chamber’s Max M. Heller Neighborhood Improvement Award and honors from the Greenville and South Carolina chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
“Judson Mill has become a vibrant and accessible neighborhood that reflects both the history and the ongoing growth of Greenville’s west side,” said Butch Kirven, former Greenville County Council chairman, who played an instrumental role while on council in getting the project off the ground. “The Jenny + Westervelt complete a transformation that will continue to shape this community in meaningful ways for years to come.”
