Reading Developers Convert Historic Moss Street Factory into 55 Apartments

The historic D.S.W. Hosiery Mill, later known as The Great Factory Store Outlet, at 1125 Moss Street in Reading is being revitalized as developers Christopher Posch and Michael Duka transform the century-old brick structure into a 55-unit residential complex. Privately financed at $6 million, the project will provide affordable, quality workforce housing with a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments aimed at working professionals in the city. After clearing decades of debris and repairing extensive damage, the developers are incorporating modern amenities such as parking and a tenant gym while preserving original architectural elements, turning a long-blighted industrial site into a vibrant community space that reflects Reading’s ongoing renewal.
