Redevelopment of an 118-year old former velvet, corduroy, and lace mill
Once the flagship of a prosperous textile empire, Royal Mills will thrive again as the Pawtuxet River Valley's most vibrant residential community. Plans include conversion of the complex into 250 apartments. In addition, the grounds will be developed for public use, facilitating the extension of West Warwick's Riverwalk through the site.
On the property, a 34,000 square foot structure, The Cotton Shed, will serve as home to retail and service-oriented merchants -- an added convenience for Royal Mill residents and the surrounding community.
Once home to the B.B & R. Knight Company, developer of the famous "Fruit of the Loom" brand, Royal Mills at Riverpoint is situated on 15 acres in the Riverpoint Village of the town of West Warwick, just 15 miles from downtown Providence. This striking property redevelopment will include unique and desirable amenities such as a landscaped riverwalk, fitness center with a heated pool, bike path connections, and hydro-electric power.
