Q: How do I schedule a tour of Drayton Mills Lofts?

You can schedule a tour online in under a minute, call (864) 408-8897, or email leasing@draytonlofts.com.

Q: How quiet are the lofts inside a 1902 mill building?

The mill's load-bearing brick exterior walls keep outside noise out, and the walls between homes were built new to modern code during the 2014–2016 restoration. Because the original heart-pine floors and timber structure were preserved, sound between floors behaves differently than in a concrete building — most residents find it quieter than expected, and residents who are sensitive to sound can ask the leasing team to see top-floor and end-of-corridor lofts first.

Inside a living landmark — South Carolina's largest historic mill restoration.

289 one-of-a-kind residences in South Carolina's largest historic mill restoration — original hardwood floors, 17-foot ceilings, mill windows the size of walls, and a marketplace of restaurants and shops right downstairs.

How many floor plans does Drayton Mills offer?

Because the lofts were built inside an authentic 1902 textile mill, the column grid and window bays decided the walls — so there are 68 unique one, two and three bedroom floor plans across 289 residences. Browse floor plans →

How quiet are the lofts inside a 1902 mill building?

Honest answer: the mill’s load-bearing brick exterior walls keep outside noise out, and the walls between homes were built new to modern code during the 2014–2016 restoration. Because the original heart-pine floors and timber structure were preserved, sound between floors behaves differently than in a concrete building. Most residents find it quieter than they expected — and if you’re sensitive to sound, tell our team and we’ll show you top-floor and end-of-corridor lofts first.

How does a 120-year-old building hold up to weather?

Drayton Mills was fully rehabilitated in 2014–2016 to National Park Service historic standards: new roofing, restored windows, and all-new mechanical, electrical and plumbing. Every loft has its own HVAC, and the community is ENERGY STAR® certified. When weather does find a way in — it happens in any building — our on-site maintenance team handles emergency work orders around the clock, and every request is tracked in the resident portal.
