Winn Cuts Ribbon on One of the First All-Electric Multifamily Properties in MA

WinnCompanies joined with federal, state and local officials to open one of the first all-electric mixed-income multifamily properties in Massachusetts, cutting the ribbon on Stone Mill Lofts, a $39.2-million adaptive reuse development that transformed the oldest mill in Lawrence into 86 units of rental housing. 

“The origin story of the City of Lawrence comes full circle today as we unveil a beautifully restored 19th century manufacturing landmark that is now fully equipped with 21st century energy-efficient building systems,” said WinnDevelopment president and managing partner Larry Curtis. “Thanks to our partners, this two-year construction effort has delivered much-needed mixed-income housing for households who will help write the next chapter in the Lawrence success story.” 

The development’s fossil-fuel-free design is expected to use 46% less energy and emit 33% fewer greenhouse gases than a typical gas-fired multifamily structure. The energy efficient design, including heat pumps and energy recovery systems, will save 177 metric tons of avoided greenhouse gas emissions annually, according to WinnCompanies.
