Yarnworks Built in 1905, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, YarnWorks is the former home of the Fitchburg Yarn Company. It was transformed into 96 units of mixed-income housing for WinnCompanies, a nationally recognized owner, developer and manager of multifamily communities. Universal provided over 700 windows from their trademark 400 Double Hung Fixed Series and the 700 Awning Fixed Series to provide abundant natural light to the building, as well as helping the project to qualify for the necessary federal and state historic tax credits.
"Universal provides me with the types of windows that my clients and I prefer, and I haven't come across a window that they haven't been able to handle." James Blauch, Garofolo Design Associates
"They make a very nice product, back it up with good service,and they also provide replacement parts when you need them, without having to wait for an order." Scott Jenkins, Winn Properties
"Universal are pro-active problems solvers. They have an intimate understanding of windows, historic structures. They have great skilled people who genuinely care. They meet our deadlines and schedules, all of which is critical to a builder." VJ Tocci, Tocci Building Companies
