Originally constructed as a pharmaceutical warehouse and later transformed into one of Detroit’s most iconic loft communities, this residence at the Lofts at Rivertown blends industrial character with refined modern updates along the city’s East Riverfront. The historic red brick structure was designed by William Stratton, with the reinforced concrete tower addition by Albert Kahn, and the building is proudly listed on both the State and National Historic Registries.

Inside, the loft offers a dramatic sense of scale with soaring ceilings, exposed concrete, oversized warehouse windows, and an open layout filled with natural light. The living space is anchored by a striking one-of-a-kind red steel door, creating an unmistakable architectural focal point that complements the authentic industrial aesthetic. The renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and clean contemporary cabinetry, while the spacious bedroom offers room to unwind alongside a large walk-in closet with custom organization. Additional features include in-unit washer and dryer, generous storage, and a bright updated bath.

Residents enjoy access to a landscaped courtyard with in-ground pool, fitness center with sauna, and a location just minutes from Downtown Detroit, Belle Isle, the Riverwalk, and some of the city’s most vibrant dining and entertainment destinations. Sunset views toward the Detroit skyline and river complete the experience of loft living in one of the city’s most architecturally compelling historic buildings.
