PACE PLAZA, LLC
MOBILE, AL

Constructed in 1988, Pace Plaza is a 5 story Residential/Commercial condominium complex located in the heart of North Attleboro Massachusetts just minutes away from public transportation, some of the best restaurants, shops, and entertainment that North Attleboro has to offer. The first level consists of the main lobby and four retail units. The second, third, forth, and fifth levels consist of 72 two bedroom residential units. Every unit has a sliding glass door that opens out to a European style balconette each of which provides a unique view of the neighborhood. Pace Plaza is a welcoming community with many residents who enjoy scheduling community events such as community yard sales, bar-b-ques, movie nights, and nights out on the town. By 1776, there were 2200 people living in North Attleborough. In about 1780, a French settler set up a forge for working brass and the industrial era arrived in Attleborough. Englishmen brought with them British machinery from Birmingham in 1794 and designed American improvements in button making which they patented. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, small grist and sawmills were built along the Ten Mile River, and subsequently established nail factories were eventually eclipsed by cotton spinning mills. The development of cotton spinning was spurred by the embargo on imports resulting from the War of 1812. Textiles and jewelry manufacturing were the staple industries of the town by 1832 but buttons were king. By 1834, it was said that North Attleboro produced more buttons than anywhere else in the United States. In the twentieth century, North Attleborough was home at various times to the jewelry firms Jostens, the world's largest class ring manufacturer and the Balfour Company, prominent maker of championship rings including for the National Football League's Super Bowl champions and Major League Baseball's World Series' winners. Through the 19th century there was tremendous growth and innovation in the jewelry industry and the number of firms in the town increased sharply. By 1855, there were 24 shops making almost $1 million in jewelry in both Attleborough and North Attleborough. The American Civil War spurred their growth with profitable U.S. Army orders for badges and medals. In 1887, North Attleboro was officially incorporated as a town. Today it is a thriving center of business and commerce with a small industrial park and many shops and stores along US Route 1 which travels through the center of town. Pace Plaza has been successfully self managed by its Board of Trustees since 2004. Below is a listing of the association’s current Board of Trustees.
