Globe Mills - The Future Crown Jewel of Alkali Flat

Globe Mills, a designated City Historic Landmark, is one block north of the Alkali Flat North National Historic District.  It is a former grain and cereal mill complex, first developed in the early 1900's, and operated under sequential ownership until approximately 1970.  Sporadic use of the site since 1970 has left the complex in a severely dilapidated condition.

 After four years of pre-development work, SHRA is now in a position to save the Globe Mills from further deterioration and return the site to productive use, and commence construction as soon as the end of 2005.   

The reuse project, put together by C.F.Y. Developers, Inc. will preserve the historic mill buildings, converting them to 31 market-rate one- and two-bedroom apartments.    

Globe Mills – Current Conditions

Two new buildings will be built on site to house 110 low-income seniors.  The architect has submitted a design for the new construction that complements, but is not imitative of the historic architecture of the mill buildings.  The project will include tenant-serving retail and common area facilities.  The prospective developer manages his projects in the interests of active seniors,
