Our Story
Cedar Circle
Opened as The Red Mill in 1960, the property had long been a vibrant hospitality business that thrived for over four decades. After being left vacant for eight years, the once iconic property was in need of significant investment, and, in 2012, Cedar Circle LLC purchased the former The St. Regis Restaurant. In keeping with Cedar Circle’s mission of restoring properties of local significance using green building techniques, the building has been thoughtfully redesigned, renovated and renamed the St. Regis Suites.
In keeping with the values of Cedar Circle, LLC we know that healthy buildings are vital to the health of its inhabitants. We operate under the principals of a triple bottom line:
PEOPLE, PLANET, PROFITS.
