Denver Loft Homes - Denver Colorado Real Estate

Lofts are a type of condominium that originated when warehouses back East were converted into apartments and condominiums. Here are some characteristics you might see in lofts; located near downtown, very high ceilings (sometimes 20-foot tall), exposed pipes and ducts in the ceiling, a great room floor plan, floor to ceiling windows, exposed interior brick, stained cement floors even in luxury homes, metal stairs and handrails, stainless steel kitchen appliances, and modern/contemporary furnishings.

From Wikipedia with author editing for Denver: Lofts are living units that are generally built into former industrial/warehouse/factory type buildings. "Loft-style" may also refer simply to developments where a street-level business occupies the first floor while apartment "lofts" are placed above that first floor.

These dwellings may advertise "exposed brick" and are the two-story equivalent of studios. Lofts generally have one open room having the bedroom in a raised open space above the main living area while the kitchen and living room comprise the main level. This style is often chosen for industrial buildings due to the original high-roofed room design of such buildings.

Originally popular with artists, they are now highly sought-after by other bohemians, and the gentrification of the former manufacturing sectors of large cities is now a familiar pattern. One such sector is LODO District. Such is the demand for these spaces among the well-off that real estate developers have taken to creating ready-made "lofts" in urban areas that are gentrifying or that seem primed to do so. While some of these units are created by developers during the extensive and costly renovation of old buildings, a number of them are included in the floor plans of brand new developments. Both types of pre-fab loft offer wealthy buyers or renters the proximity to urban amenities afforded by traditional lofts, but without the perceived safety risks of living in economically depressed industrial areas. Detractors argue that these ready-made units are neither produced nor consumed in the spirit of traditional loft living.
