Beech Street Factory
Pottstown, PA
Initially constructed in 1912, this brick warehouse complex first served as the Leibowitz Shirt Factory, then the Fecera’s furniture warehouse, and has now converted to 43 sustainable, affordable apartments for the Pottstown community. The 56,000 sq. ft. space underwent a full rehabilitation of the site and structures into mixed-use residential geared towards local artists as well as a 4,000 sq. ft. commercial space to become the new home to ArtFusion 19464, a local non-profit community arts center. Sitework improvements were made to compliment the site including landscaped parking lots, a new central open-air courtyard and other amenities such as gallery space, leasing offices, and a community room.
