A converted 1926 industrial loft building in downtown Minneapolis, the Sexton Lofts occupies multiple stories of masonry and metal-clad structure with stone details reflecting its original warehouse character. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom lofts with high ceilings (often 12–22 feet), large industrial-style windows, exposed brick and concrete, ductwork and hardwood floors; layouts include single-level flats and dramatic two-story live/work lofts with mezzanines. Kitchens typically feature granite counters and stainless appliances while many homes include in-unit laundry and built-in storage. Common areas emphasize outdoor rooftop living — a large sky deck with panoramic downtown and river views, grilling stations, and a fire pit — plus a private courtyard and limited landscaped entries. The building provides heated underground parking stalls and is pet friendly; HOA dues are noted as relatively low compared with nearby conversions. Location is a defining amenity: half a block to the skyway system, within a short walk to light rail, the Stone Arch Bridge, Mill District attractions and U.S. Bank Stadium, making it well integrated with downtown dining, entertainment and transit. Overall the Sexton blends preserved industrial details with updated finishes and shared outdoor spaces tailored to urban loft living.
