We’re proud to share that the Lofts at Stehli Silk Mill has been named a Central Penn Business Journal Top Project Award winner! 🏆

This project has been one of the most challenging, and rewarding, undertakings in CAM Construction’s history. Originally built in 1897, the historic 11-acre Stehli Silk Mill complex sat vacant for four decades before our team transformed it into 165 loft-style apartments across seven distinct buildings.

From surgically repairing century-old heavy-timber beams and installing 1,400+ custom windows to navigating supply chain disruptions caused by the 2023 Canadian wildfires, every step of this project demanded creativity, craftsmanship, and collaboration. Our team salvaged and repurposed historic materials throughout, from reclaimed hardwood flooring and steel fire doors to repurposed bathroom partitions reborn as wainscoting, in an effort to honor both the building’s heritage and sustainability principles.

The result? A landmark adaptive reuse project that preserved C. Emlen Urban’s iconic architecture, secured state and federal historic tax credits, earned recognition at the 2025 C. Emlen Urban Awards, and now holds a permanent place in Lancaster County’s story.

Thank you to our partners at Hammel Associates Architects, RETTEW, Mannheim Township, and the many subcontractors and community partners who helped bring this vision to life.

Exciting updates from our Armistead Gardens School Renovation/Addition project with Baltimore City Public Schools as we hit several major milestones heading into spring. The school’s Recreation Center has reached substantial completion and is finished punch-list tasks, with painting already underway. Additionally, the building envelope is rapidly taking shape, as roofing work is substantially complete, while our masonry crews have begun brick installation on the façade. Interior build-out is advancing with drywall hanging underway throughout the buildings while our mechanical teams have started installing HVAC units. MEP rough-in work continues, and BGE is scheduled for critical meter and transformer installations. Exterior concrete and paving are 60-70% complete, as we are currently establishing the walkways, parking areas, and community gathering spaces that will define the Armistead Gardens experience. We are proud of our team’s coordination and execution as we bring this important community project closer to completion. As always, keep an eye out for more updates to come!
