The Promenade at the Foundry, home of the former Browne and Sharpe Manufacturing Plant, is one of the largest historic preservation projects ever undertaken in the state of Rhode Island. Bruner/Cott, working as the design architect in association with Robinson Green Beretta Architects, transformed this mill complex into 220 apartment units.
The development’s first building dates to 1872 and incorporates elements from the industrial past into the residential units. The apartments have retained the original Canadian maple factory floors and include 13-foot ceilings, arched windows, and two heating systems. There is an adjacent 400-car garage, fitness and business centers, event room, and swimming pool with retractable glass roof.
