THE LOFTS AT BATES MILL

The Lofts at Bates Mill is a historic textile mill built in 1854 as Bates Manufacturing Company Mill No. 2. A complete renovation of 65,000 square feet within the mill was completed in 2012. Facing West onto Fountain Park, each apartment has expansive views toward the Androscoggin River and the City of Auburn. The Lofts at Bates Mill is located at the heart of Lewiston's redeveloping Riverfront Island District includes offices, restaurants, and shops. They are a two-block walk from the center of Lewiston's historic downtown, with its variety of shops, restaurants and services, as well as cultural institutions such as the Public Library and the Public Theater. Four floors of the building were converted into 48 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, taking advantage of the beautiful architectural amenities of the mill. These include 13 foot ceilings, large windows and exposed timber framing. Included in the rent are a fitness center, wi-fi, a community room with computers, and inside self-storage. A solar-powered hot water system and Green building standards ensure exceptional indoor air quality. Like all Szanton Company properties, the Lofts at Bates Mill is completely smoke-free.

Dave's Thoughts On The Lofts at Bates Mill

This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests The Lofts at Bates Mill does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. As a LIHTC property that chose the 40/60 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 40% of its units for families and individuals earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with lower incomes. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
