The Hannah Lay Building is an 1883 brick commercial-to-residential conversion in downtown Traverse City that has been redeveloped into a small collection of luxury loft condominiums. Low-rise in scale with large original masonry walls, heavy timber accents and high ceiling volumes, the property preserves historic details such as exposed brick, timber beams and oversized arched windows while adding modern condominium systems. Units are configured as two- and three-bedroom lofts with open-plan main floors and optional mezzanine/loft levels; typical interior features called out across residences include cathedral or vaulted ceiling profiles, 10–18+ foot ceiling heights, generous walk-in closets, entrance foyers and pantries. Common exterior elements emphasize street engagement and views — private balconies, sidewalks and rooftop terraces provide direct sightlines to West Grand Traverse Bay, the marina, the Farmers Market and nearby historic theaters. Building services include two elevator banks at each end of the footprint, limited underground parking (spaces available for purchase), and on-site storage/garage access options. With only a handful of units, the property offers a boutique ownership experience in the heart of downtown, steps from dining, shopping, cultural venues and waterfront trails.
