Osage Mill is a 250,000 square foot mill located on the main street in Bessemer City, NC. It is being repurposed into a mix of affordable housing, market rate housing and commercial space.  The first phase will include 143 affordable units for families.  This is a historic tax credit restoration and will be completed as per the National Park Service standards.

In the early 1900’s when the manufacturing company was reorganized due to bankruptcy, the name was changed to Osage. This property was established in 1895 as the Southern Cotton Mill. This original building and the collection of additions have been vacant for several decades.  The repurposing into housing will bring the facility back to life.  Allowing it to once again become a contributing member to the Bessemer City downtown environment.
