Sexton Lofts: Classic Warehouse Ethos in Elliot Park
Located at 521 S 7th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415, Sexton Lofts is a warehouse-style building that has long been a familiar landmark to local residents in Elliot Park. The seven-story structure was built in 1926 by land developer Woodbury F. Andrews who named the building after his mother, Fannie Sexton. The brick building with its wide bands of windows was used for various purposes over the years and was converted into 123 one and two-bedroom loft-style condos in 2006. After the project’s developers were embroiled in a financial scandal in 2010, the Sexton was repurchased by a new entity, with additional renovations to common areas. Despite the building’s long and complicated timeline, it endures as a highly popular condominium with fascinating original architectural details that dovetail nicely with modern industrial-chic finishes. Other historic condo buildings in the Elliot Park neighborhood include Rappahannock Flats and Lenox Brownstones.
Residences at the Sexton are large, airy, and very true to the classic loft ethos often found in neighborhoods like North Loop and the Mill District. There are one and two-bedroom layouts, some of which are two-level with iron stairs leading up to bonus landings. Soaring concrete ceilings lend to the spatial vibe. Exposed brick walls and overhead ductwork are complemented by blonde hardwood floors. The chef-inspired kitchens are completely open, with Scandinavian-style modern cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Many of these units have private balconies, some of which overlook an unusual urban courtyard reminiscent of buildings in the old New York City warehouse district. Bedrooms are often inventively designed, sometimes with sliding barn-style doors. You’ll also sometimes find intriguing, corrugated metal ceilings in key spaces. These is also tons of closet space, in-unit washers and dryers, stylish bathrooms, and fun nooks and crannies in these impressive condos.
The seven-story historic structure with its giant factory-style windows still has “Sexton Building” emblazoned in original paint at the top of one size, an homage to its roots. These nods to the past continue throughout the building, including common areas where raw concrete pillars and aged wood contrast nicely with sleek custom finishes. Residents and visitors enter into a huge and welcoming lobby with a stylish fireplace, and there is also a package room. Fiber optic internet is included with the association fee. The picturesque urban courtyard and patio is a nice, authentic touch, and there is also a terrific rooftop deck with a trellis, outdoor kitchen, and lounge furniture. There is also a bike room, and both garage and surface parking. The pet-friendly building is close to Elliot Park and its Recreation Center, the Commons, and the Gateway Dog Park. Public transit is also conveniently close, with the Metro Blue and Green lines at the U.S. Bank Stadium just a few blocks away.

Living in the Historic Elliot Park Neighborhood
One of Minneapolis’s oldest neighborhoods, Elliot Park was named for Joseph Elliot, a long-ago physician who donated a large parcel of farmland to the city. Once home to many of Minneapolis’s wealthy elite, the neighborhood with its notable mansions and apartment buildings followed the city’s urban decline in the mid-century, rebounding from the 1980s on. It is now a vibrant and popular community adjacent to both Downtown East and Downtown West. The historic Sexton Lofts building is located at the eastern edge of the Elliot Park neighborhood, not far from the park and recreation center of the same name. The condos are also just a few blocks from U.S. Bank Stadium, home to the Minnesota Vikings as well as the LRT station. Boutique retailers, top bars and restaurants, museums, and live entertainment are on full display in this fabulous downtown area. Residents at Sexton Lofts also have easy access to the Minneapolis Skyway system, a climate controlled pedestrian network connecting to area shops, buildings, and arenas.
