Where some see ugly warehouses and blighted spaces left behind by long-forgotten industries, creative builders and developers see open spaces with plenty of room for cool modern residences.
Industrial lofts came into fashion in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood during the 1960s and ’70s, when a glut of deserted factories and a lack of affordable housing converged, giving birth to a new way of living—the loft apartment.
The industrial loft tradition is still alive and well today in cities across the country. We took a look and found seven wonderful warehouse lofts outfitted to impress on the market right now.
Today’s loft living is chic, upscale, and doesn’t skimp on a single creature comfort. These condos feature elements of the building’s original structure married with sleek contemporary finishes, and provide a blank canvas to create something new and personal on a large scale.
