South Florida Lofts
One of the really up and coming modes of living has been made popular in the past decade or so. Many developers saw empty industrial space in urban areas and wondered how they could make use of it. Thus, the concept of lofts was born. Loftsare spacious, open living arrangements that maximize the use of property already built, allow their owners or renters to live in the city and spark investment in neighborhoods that had previously been dormant for decades. Typical characteristics of lofts include:
Exposed ductwork, electrical, plumbing and brickwork complete the overall industrial appearance. High ceilings, usually from 10ft to 25feet or more and large floor to ceiling windows are other customary components of loftsthat add to the open space theme.
Miami’s real estate market is no different in this regard. If you are looking for South Florida lofts, SoBe Luxury Homes is here to help you find just the right fit for your needs. There are several areas of Miami that have been undergoing massive redevelopment in the past few years, and SoBe Luxury Homes has kept itself fully aware of these developments.
Miami's loft market began with a few modern lofts in the Miami Beach area. The market for lofts has grown and expanded to include several areas of Miami. Exclusive, upscale lofts typically sell quickly, and the market shows that these properties will appreciate in value for quite some time, much like a luxury home or condo.
As a result, if a South Florida loft is what you have in mind, please contact our team to get the process of looking at lofts started immediately.
There are a few different variations of styles of lofts. Below is a brief explanation of a few:
Hard Lofts
Hard lofts are basically what is described above. These lofts were converted from old industrial spaces into living quarters. Typically, the exposed duct work is not covered, and the space is apportioned with the aim of maximizing the available square footage.
Certain characteristics you can expect to see in hard lofts include concrete ceilings and beams, a completely open kitchen and dining area, exposed brick on the walls, balconies or fire escapes, hardwood floors and a very large living area.
If you are looking South Florida lofts, SoBe Luxury Homes can show you several hard lofts that have been rebuilt and configured for stylish living in several parts of town. We can also give you alerts as to properties being converted to lofts to give you a jump on the very high demand that lofts tend to generate. Simply contact us to get the process started.
Soft Lofts
Soft lofts were really an idea by developers to take the concepts that hard lofts introduced, such as the high ceilings, exposed duct work and bricks, high ceilings and industrial feel and build developments to have this style from the beginning. However, typically speaking, there is less of the pure industrial feel, as not all ductwork is exposed and a few of the other characteristics are typically left out. However, the concept of a huge living space has been preserved, and if you would like to see a South Florida loft built specifically for living purposes, SoBe Luxury Homes has several available.
The advantage of soft lofts is that they are not confined to previously industrial areas, and are available in several parts of Miami and South Florida in general. These developments carry the same type of demand, though, and that creates the need to work with a company with a longstanding track record of gaining results for its clients. SoBe Luxury Homes has that track record, so please contact us to find the South Florida lofts that are a fit for you.
