An Albany, Ga.-based developer has plans to renovate the now- vacant Fremont School building near downtown Spartanburg to create 41 market-rate apartments.
Pace Burt, the project’s developer, said the multimillion-dollar project will preserve the character and architectural integrity of the 102-year-old schoolhouse at 600 Magnolia St. while repurposing it for stylish apartments.
“The project is going to be a historical renovation, so we will bring the building back to its original grandeur. There are beautiful columns and workmanship on the brick,” he said. “The apartments will be very upscale and have high ceilings, plenty of windows and original wooden floors .”
The new apartments will consist of one- and two-bedroom units that will rent for around $850 and $1,000 per month, respectively, Burt said.
The project includes onsite parking , landscaping and a fence that will make it a gated property.
