Summary

An old piano factory turned into a vibrant community hub—Tremont Flats in Meriden, Connecticut, now offers 82 apartments, 71 of them affordable, with rents based on income. Preserving piano keys in hallways and honoring its 140-year history, the project by Trinity Financial has become a magnet for families, workers, and seniors. Over 600 applicants competed for the units—all rented out—proving that historic spaces can be reborn as homes for diverse, thriving communities.
