Historical textile mill uses
track lighting as it becomes a

L

oft Five50 is the new name of what was an historical
textile mill in Lawrence, MA. Recently repurposed
into a family housing community with modern ame-

born. The project is LEED certified and features 137 housing
units, ranging from studios to one-, two-, and three-bedroom
apartments, plus a full slate of amenities: a 15,000-sq.-ft.
community room, communal kitchen with entertainment
space, Wi-Fi lounges, a fitness/yoga facility, movie theatre,
outdoor patio, and indoor children's play area.

[Chelsea, MA] which designed the project," reported Jerry
Sinatra of SK & Associates, Nora Lighting sales representative

LEDs. The cylindrical fixtures are a contemporary accent to
the vintage woodwork and brick," said Sinatra.
The Step Cylinders use LED lamps and have a matte-black
