The Legacy of Chocolate Factory Apartments

From Sweets to Community

Before it was a place to call home, this historic building was filled with the rich aroma of chocolate. Founded in 1883 by Walter M. Lowney, the Lowney Company earned a reputation for producing premium chocolate products. The Mansfield factory became a hub of the industry and made the Lowney name synonymous with quality.

History Reimagined

While the factory’s purpose has changed, that legacy of quality remains. Carefully restored architectural details pay homage to the building’s heritage, while modern finishes and spacious layouts create an elevated living experience and allow you to celebrate the past without living in it.
