Condo Living 101

Monarch on the Merrimack spells ecoluxury in the Victorian riverside city of Lawrence in New England. The development transforms the huge Wood Mill into 600 eco-friendly residences. Using geothermal heating and cooling, Monarch saves energy for what was once the largest building of its kind in the world. The historic mill was converted into modern lofts with 16-foot ceilings and oversized windows. Units come in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and mezzanine lofts, or garden lofts and terraced penthouses that can be combined to make spacious residences. A number of unique residences, including duplexes and triplexes, are also available.
