We are thrilled to share the incredible journey of the Wilson Lofts, as seen through the lens of Five Points Community Capital who funded this video effort and provided New Market Tax Credits to support Wilson Lofts. As one of our many valued transaction partners, they, along with so many others, believed in the potential and shared our vision for the redevelopment effort. We especially thank Colin Sullivan, owner of Clinton-based Little Sea Productions for producing such an amazing video.
After nearly 10 years of dedication and hard work behind the scenes we are proud to unveil the video showing the transformation of Wilson Lofts into 33 stunning apartments and 2 vibrant business incubators- Makers on 5th and Clinton Culinary.
The vision has come to life! GROWTH is proud to welcome the many residents that now call Wilson Lofts home. Our first incubator tenants, GEOME + Ph.yla store and Soi 5 Thai are driving in new visitors and customers to shop and eat.
The Wilson Lofts stands as a powerful testament to unwavering perseverance and a collective labor of love by countless individuals. Thousands of hours were invested, tirelessly addressing constant challenges and "sanding doors that don't fit" with sheer grit and tenacity. The journey encompassed the highs and lows inherent in community and economic development efforts, converging into the remarkable sight the community beholds today—a fully redeveloped, historic mixed-use masterpiece crafted for both new residents and businesses to thrive and call home.
The “lights are officially on” at the Wilson Lofts. This monumental achievement wouldn't have been possible without the steadfast support and unwavering belief of the following:
