Greenville, SC., April 5, 2019- Graycliff Capital Development, LLC (“Graycliff”), a South Carolina-based real estate investment and development firm, announces the grand opening of the Cotton Mill Apartments (“Cotton Mill”). Cotton Mill is a Class A multi-family community located within walking distance to historic downtown Simpsonville, SC, a thriving city 15-miles south of downtown Greenville, SC.

The community offers “Modern Living with Historic Charm.” The development included the meticulous renovation of a 19th century textile mill building into a historically re-purposed clubhouse and amenity area. The clubhouse maintains its original manufacturing character with exposed brick walls, wide-plank wood flooring, arched windows, and tall ceilings with exposed metal beams. The historic mill textile stack and water tower were preserved as well. The residential component of the project is completely new-construction with one, two, and three-bedroom apartment homes featuring best-in-class finishes.

“Creative Builders was honored to help lead the design/build process of the Cotton Mill and in breathing life back into Simpsonville. The preservation of the mills main office and boiler room maintains Simpsonville’s history in the Upstate bringing character back to a growing and vibrant community. Projects like this are a once in a lifetime opportunity to truly fulfill our company mission statement and purpose of ‘Building a better tomorrow… today’, which is less about the physical building itself and more about the lives within our projects and the communities around them. When the two are welded together – What a success for all!” – Will McCauley, President, Creative Builders, Inc.

Graycliff has a long term commitment in the Simpsonville community with the Cotton Mill Apartments being one of three projects we have completed in this market.  The Cotton Mill is a very important landmark because this Mill was the original major employer that established Simpsonville.  For over 5 years, the Graycliff team worked closely with City officials and the community, in particular the neighboring condo association, to work through the many details that have ultimately brought this wonderful project to fruition.  Just as the original Cotton Mill helped to create this community over a hundred years ago, it is our hope that the Cotton Mill Apartments will play a major role in continuing to establish downtown Simpsonville as a vibrant, walkable community.

Cotton Mill features one, two, and three-bedroom units ranging from 737 square foot one bedrooms, 1,085 to 1,100 square foot two bedrooms, and 1,263 square foot three bedrooms. Within each unit, residents will find:
