The Wireworks building, at 109 South William St., is in Newburgh’s East End Historic District, just around the corner from George Washington’s Headquarters and across the street from Atlas Studios. The building was constructed in 1895 as the headquarters for the firm Staples & Hanford Wireworks, manufacturers of the “Staples Indestructible Spring Work”, a patented design used in the production of upholstered furniture and carriage cushions.
The renovation project is the work of BOM Newburgh, a joint venture between AE Baxter, Mapos, and Sisha Ortuzar. Baxter, a Hudson Valley developer, is the builder on the project; Mapos, a design studio based in New York City, is responsible for the timeless design; and Ortuzar, a hospitality consultant based in Newburgh, is coordinating the effort. When completed in the summer of 2020, the mixed use project will feature bi-level loft apartments, live/work artist studios, the BEAHIVE Newburgh- a cowork space , and a commercial space ideal for retail or food and beverage.
