Property Highlights

The former Riverdam Mill contains five multi-story masonry buildings that have been cleaned up and redeveloped in a phased-approach over time. Building 1 was redeveloped as the Mill at Saco Falls, Building 2 was redeveloped as the Lofts at Saco Falls, and Buildings 3 and 4 were redeveloped by Draft Room LLC.

Former Use: Prior to redevelopment, the mill buildings were most recently in use as leased space for small commercial businesses including light manufacturing, wood products, and artisans as well as storage space. Pepperell Manufacturing Company, a cotton textile mill, historically occupied the site from as early as mid 1800s through the late 1970?s. This entire former Riverdam mill has now been redeveloped for mixed commercial and residential housing.
