Fayette Street Lofts

Originally built as a Winn Dixie grocery store in 1954, this adaptive reuse project includes a complete renovation to provide housing and commercial tenant space in downtown Martinsville. The first floor includes two premium commercial spaces that utilize the historic storefront along Fayette Street, along with 20 apartments with lofted bedrooms and skylights that take advantage of the 15-foot ceilings. The lower level, originally the grocery store’s warehouse and receiving area, maintains an exposed ceiling structure and is transformed into 5 apartments and 9 commercial studios. This project received funding from both Federal and State Historic Tax Credit programs.
