A renovated historic loft building in Minneapolis’s North Loop, the turn-of-the-century Itasca Lofts preserves industrial character across multiple stories of converted warehouse space. Constructed in 1900, the property features post-and-beam timber construction, exposed brick walls, large multi-pane windows, original steel doors, and high vaulted ceilings that reveal heavy timber beams and wood decking. Units are configured primarily as multi-level 2-bedroom lofts and open-plan flats with mezzanine sleeping areas; many homes include private balconies or rooftop decks, sizable south- and west-facing windows with river and downtown views, and generous built-in storage. Interior finishes in individual residences range from raw vacant shells for buyer build-outs to fully renovated kitchens and baths with hardwood or polished concrete floors, granite counters, and modern mechanical upgrades such as added A/C. Common elements reflect a neighborhood-focused lifestyle: a shared patio and green-space with bocce courts and grills, ground-floor retail and food destinations (notably live entertainment and dining venues), and nearby contract/garage parking options across the street with indoor heated stalls. The building allows pets, supports in-unit laundry in many homes, and sits steps from the Mississippi riverfront and River Parkway, offering immediate access to trails, waterfront views, and North Loop walkability.
