The Sharpe Building at the Foundry converted a six-story historic industrial building into 196 market-rate apartments. The structure features steel and brick arch construction, wood-plank floors, and large wood windows. A 135-foot-tall chimney rises 65 feet above the roof, making it one of the highest points in the city.
The apartments include studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. The scope of work included new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection systems, and new elevators and stair towers. Amenities consist of a fitness center, theater, and rooftop deck. The project is part of a 26-acre live-work complex with 13 historic buildings, all restored to their original exposed brick character from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
