Redefined City Living
From Historic Warehouse To Iconic Living
Classic Outside, Modern Inside
A four-story brick building at Smallman & 26th, standing for more than a century and now fully renovated as thirty-eight condominium residences. The brick is repointed, the original window openings are reglazed in their multi-pane pattern, and the round columns stay exposed inside the homes. On the roof — seven new residences in aluminum and glass.
Every home has a balcony, set within the building's walls rather than hung off the facade. Thick floors and walls keep the homes quiet. Ceilings are tall, light is everywhere, and private storage comes with every residence — on your own floor wherever possible.
Seven Residences Above the Brick
Built new on the roof: four two-story Rooftop Townhomes with private roof decks, and three flats offering one-level rooftop living. The rooftop terrace, outdoor kitchen, and outdoor fireplace are shared by the whole building — and every home at W Lofts, rooftop included, is a condominium.

Thoughtful By Design
One- to three-bedroom homes across four floors, plus seven rooftop residences. Every home has a balcony and its own private storage.
Two on-site parking spaces for every residence over 1,200 square feet, with entry from inside the building.
Two elevators for thirty-eight homes — one rebuilt inside the original shaft.
An impressive grand lobby — a warm welcome in sophisticated finishes and timeless elegance.
