Auburn Developments worked with the city to maintain the integrity and heritage of the factory exterior, building the upper floors to mirror the original architecture. Great care was taken to preserve many of the distinctive design elements such as the expansive windows, historical columns and exposed piping and brick, while offsetting them with sleek ultramodern finishes.
