From Fan Belts to Hipster Lofts in St. Anthony East

Located at 215 7th Street NE, Minneapolis. MN 55413, Durkee Atwood Lofts is a historic former factory building that has since been converted to 32 attractive condo units along with street level commercial space. The three-story brick structure with its classic arched windows was built back in 1924 as the Durkee Atwood Company. The Minnesota-based business manufactured rubber goods including fan belts, radiator hoses, tire patches, door seals, and even life preserver vests. The factory ultimately shut its doors in the early 1980s, and in 2006 the building was completely renovated and repurposed as a condominium. Other historic condo conversions in the Northeast Minneapolis area include Calumet Lofts, Madison Lofts, and CW Lofts, the latter being the former Cream of Wheat landmark.

Unlike many loft conversions that lean heavily into industrial style finishes, the redevelopment of the old Durkee Atwood building focused more on understated modern aesthetics with open layouts. This, combined with competitive sales prices within the $200,000 range has made the three-level boutique condominium an attractive destination for both first time buyers and those seeking added value in the vibrant St. Anthony East neighborhood. The one and two-bedroom residences feature high ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and open gourmet kitchens with stone counters, handsome wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and intriguing hanging factory-style lamps over the prep/dining bars. Handsome bathrooms include wide trough-style sinks and combo tubs and showers. In-unit washers and dryers add another level of convenience.

In addition to stylish condos at obtainable prices, residents at the pet-friendly Durkee Atwood Lofts enjoy a very spacious outdoor courtyard ringed by mature shade trees. The former factory building is located on a hilly portion of 7th Street NE near St. Anthony Park and its tennis courts. The building’s fenced grassy areas include a gazebo, patios, grills, and pleasant lounging areas. There’s also a private dog park, FOB access, assigned parking, guest parking, a mail room, and bike storage. The proximity to Central Avenue adds to easy access to other parts of Northeast Minneapolis, including the historic bridge leading over St. Anthony Falls to the popular Mill District. Residents also enjoy nearby E. Hennepin Avenue with its many fun local shops, pubs, and restaurants.

St. Anthony East and the Northeast Minneapolis Experience

Durkee Atwood Lofts is located on 7th Street NE, a small residential neighborhood within the larger sprawl of Northeast Minneapolis. St. Anthony with its East and West communities was named for the nearby St. Anthony Falls which once provided power for the old flour mills along the banks of the Mississippi River. The area has a long association with different forms of industry and commerce, with Durkee Atwood Lofts itself dating back to the early 1920s when it was a factory that manufactured rubber goods for automotive purposes. Over the years, Minneapolis has adapted to changing times, through revitalization campaigns and partnerships between developers and city planners. The result is a fascinating tableau of small neighborhoods, densely populated downtown areas, historic landmarks, converted former warehouses and factories, indie shops, bars, restaurants, art galleries, colleges, and sports and entertainment, with the Mississippi River at the epicenter of it all. This handsome boutique condominium with its interesting backstory is just a mile from St. Anthony Falls, two miles from Downtown Minneapolis, and 2.5 miles from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
