Located on 8th Avenue in Altoona, PA, The Mill, which was originally built in 1889, is now a renovated mixed-use facility that will include office space, a café, a restaurant, and apartment units.
While several outbuildings and 80,000 square feet of the original building were demolished, 91,000 square feet was retained, in addition to an annex building and a 90′-tall smokestack that serves as an iconic landmark for the project.
Parking lots, a dining patio, sidewalks, street trees, lighting, and landscaping were all added. Stormwater detention was avoided by adding green space and amended soils to the site, which was previously 100% impervious.
I probably don’t say this enough, but we so appreciate the quality of work Keller Engineers does. The fact that they include building footprints and natural features makes these surveys super useful. I’m reminding my colleagues in other counties that their surveyors need to up their quality. F. Mark Schiavone, Executive Director Berkeley County Farmland Protection Board
