Spacious NuLu Loft | Heart of Downtown Louisville

Summary:

Our industrial loft is located in the historic CBD and NuLu area. Local history mixes with a trendy, vibrant neighborhood known for its eclectic mix of art galleries, restaurants, and shops. The loft is close to all major downtown attractions, including the popular Whiskey Row, Museum Row, Bourbon Trail, and Louisville Slugger Field. We are directly across the street from the UofL Health Sciences Campus and a quick 12-minute drive to historic Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby.



The Space:

Built in 1885, our loft has maintained its classic charm while being updated with modern amenities. While the building shows some expected cosmetic flaws from its age, the high ceilings, exposed bricks, wood beams, and original hardwood floors add to its character. Natural light pours into the space through a skylight, further enhancing the open floor plan.
