Bookmen Lofts | North Loop

---

Bookmen Lofts is a historic former warehouse in the North Loop neighborhood that has been transformed into loft condominiums. Built in 1914, the brick structure is the sister building to the more recently built Bookmen Stacks. The original property at the corner of N 3rd Street and N 6th Ave was a warehouse for a wholesale grocery supplier before housing Bookmen, Inc, Minnesota’s largest book distributer. Today, the restored Bookmen Lofts building is home to 57 highly appealing industrial chic residences.

More About Bookmen Lofts and its Stunning Transformation

Located at 525 N 3rd Street, Minneapolis, MN 55401, the old Bookmen, Inc building was redeveloped and transformed into Bookmen Lofts in 2004. The ambitious effort required a total gut renovation, but the designer and builders took care to preserve original elements that echo the property’s rich industrial history.  Whereas Bookmen Stacks from the same development and design team features sleek and modern flats, Bookmen Lofts offers a combination of styles with one and two-bedroom loft layouts, as well as extraordinary two-level penthouses with towering ceilings. Other historic condo buildings in the neighborhood include Bassett Creek Lofts, Harvester Lofts, and 918 Lofts to name just a few.

Touring the spacious residences at Bookmen Lofts, you’ll find a wide variety of floorplans, finishes, and unique character traits that differentiate one unit from the next. Concrete floors and ceilings, along with interior concrete columns and exposed overhead ductwork and piping are common themes. However, the raised loft bedrooms often feature hardwood floors. There have also been remodels over the years by individual owners resulting in additional wood flooring. Exposed brick walls contrast beautifully with other wall finishes, complemented by giant factory-style windows, hanging pendant lights, and sliding barn-style doors.

Those who enjoy meal creation will revel in the gourmet kitchens. These incredible cook spaces are open to the adjacent main living and dining areas, with stone counters, upscale stainless steel appliances, and modern wood cabinetry and dining bars that exhibit a Scandinavian modernist flavor. Many units have outdoor spaces of some sort, such as boxy balconies for lower units. Penthouses feature floating spiral stairs leading to bonus loft spaces and semi-private roof decks. These are the perfect places to enjoy morning coffee, evening libations, or outside dining. Gas fireplaces, exquisite bathrooms, and custom closet organizers add further to the appeal.

In addition to exceptional residences with all the trimmings, residents at Bookmen Lofts also enjoy a number of additional amenities and conveniences. There’s a handsome front lobby with industrial-themed art installations, a large third floor patio with lounge furniture, dining tables, grills and firepits, sweeping views of Downtown and Target Field, an impressive fitness center, underground parking that is shared with sister building Bookmen Stacks, and storage cages. It’s all part of the North Loop experience, a community whose industrial heyday eventually ebbed, before finding new and lasting vitality as one of Minneapolis’ hippest residential neighborhoods.

North Loop’s Fascinating Journey Through Time

From the street outside Bookmen Lofts, you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve entered a time warp. Old brick buildings are monuments to a century past, some still bearing signage from their original use. Yet the days of factories and street cars have given way to an exciting new era with popular restaurants, bars, bakeries, boutique retailers, and live entertainment. Rise Bagel is across the street, Graze Food Hall is adjacent the building, and NOLO’s Kitchen & Bar is a block away. Don’t forget the hiking trails, dog parks, yoga studios, galleries, and MLB and NBA sports with the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Field and Target and Target Center respectively. Commuting is also a snap with the I-94, I-394, and Target Field Station light rail.
