About Judson Mill District
Judson Mill District is a sustainable and vibrant mixed-use community offering soulful
city living in Greenville, SC. Once the largest textile mill in Greenville County and an
integral part of Greenville’s Mill Crescent wrapping the city’s west side, Judson Mill
District is now home to office, restaurant, brewery, retail, entertainment, and residential
spaces. In 2019, Taft Family Ventures, a distinguished real estate investment and
development firm based in Greenville, NC, joined with Belmont Sayre, a privately held
real estate investment and development company based in Chapel Hill, NC, to
transform the historic 800,000-square-foot textile mill that closed in 2015. While
maintaining its vision to preserve the soul, spirit, and features of the historic mill, Judson
Mill District utilizes a sustainable approach in revitalizing its 36-acre campus, which now
fosters a vibrant and affordable community where people live, work, and play. For more
