Documented sizes include an 875-square-foot loft with 12-foot ceilings, 983-square-foot corner units on the third floor with 10-foot ceilings, and a sprawling 1,537-square-foot penthouse with a bedroom plus office and two private decks. A duplex loft with two bathrooms and a deeded garage spot has also been offered. Corner and end units are especially prized for their multiple window exposures and downtown views. Layouts range from fully open floor plans to L-shaped designs that separate the sleeping area for added privacy.
