Adaptive Reuse of Silos

Below is information about an example of a silo reuse project in Sacramento.  
An online article describes the project (click HERE): 


"Grain elevator reuse is neither easy nor cheap. Take the recently-opened Globe Mills complex in Sacramento for instance... an example of what other cities are doing to preserve their industrial heritage. The project combines 114 senior housing units in a five-story building built on the mill property, 31 lofts in the historic mill buildings, and 5,000 sq.ft. of retail space. The silos have been incorporated as a signature element of the design."


"The Globe Mills embraces many of the most desirable trends in urban development: Transit Oriented Development; Energy Efficiency; Smart Growth; Historic Adaptive Reuse; Mixed Use; Brownfield; Urban Infill Redevelopment; Public/Private Partnership"
