Explore Security Warehouse Lofts in the Heart of North Loop

Positioned near old train tracks that once served the Warehouse District is a condominium that perfectly blends vintage industrial details with modern design aesthetics. Built in 1903 for the princely sum of $60,000, the six-story brick building at 404 North Washington Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55401 was known as the William J Dean & Company Warehouse, or Dean & Co. for short. Dean was a midwestern purveyor of farm implements during the heyday of American agriculture, distributing everything from plow shares to National Security Safes. A century later, North Loop’s development pioneer Jim Stanton purchased the deteriorating building and turned it into a new goldmine, selling 34 renovated units in just one day.

The popular property with its 62 spacious residences, is connected by a walkway to the next-door 5th Avenue Lofts, another of Stanton’s landmark projects. This allows residents of each building to share lifestyle amenities. Entering a unit at Security Warehouse Lofts, the appeal becomes immediately apparent with exposed brick walls, polished concrete floors, and soaring ceilings, many of which are wooden with large support beams. Arched windows allow natural light to pour inside, with open space layouts further attenuating the airy ambience. The majority of these loft-inspired condos have one-bedroom floorplans, but the generous sizes also allow for bonus spaces such as dens. The kitchens are fit for chefs, completely open to the living and dining areas, and featuring upscale stainless steel appliances and Scandinavian style modern wood cabinetry. Bedrooms often have wide sliding barn-like doors, and stylish bathrooms typically have finishes similar to the kitchens. From in-unit washers and dryers to tons of storage space and hanging factory-style lamps, these handsome condos exemplify the merging of new luxury ideals and a long-ago industrial ethos.

The entrance to Security Warehouse Lofts is along North Washington Avenue while the lowest level of the building once led to the Great Northern Railroad’s tracks, an easy way for Dean & Co. to load and unload their freight. These days, residents at the pet-friendly boutique condominium enjoy numerous amenities including a dog run and easy access to Cedar Lake Regional Trail. A huge community room features a kitchen and bar, billiards, big screen TV, and lounge furniture. There is also a terrific fitness center with soaring ceilings, huge windows, and a nice selection of cardio and strength training equipment. The building also has a rooftop patio, temperature-controlled storage lockers, heated garage parking, and street-level businesses. Bars, coffee shops, and restaurants are all nearby.

Warehouse Security Lofts and the North Loop Neighborhood

Once home to a midwestern farm implement distributor known as William J Dean & Company, the redeveloped Warehouse Security Lofts building is located in the heart of the North Loop neighborhood. The former blue collar commercial district has experienced seismic socioeconomic shifts over time, from the heights of industrial prosperity to midcentury urban decline, and now back up the ladder as one of the region’s fastest and hippest residential communities. As unlikely combination of character, grit, history, and modern opportunity has led to a true Twin Cities comeback. Positioned between Downtown Minneapolis and the Mississippi River, the neighborhood named for a long ago streetcar route offers a great location and a host of attractions including bars, sidewalk cafes, coffee shops, art galleries, live entertainment, and sports. Target Field (Minnesota Twins) and Target Center (Minnesota Timberwolves) are just a few blocks away, as is the Target Field Station for light rail commuting.
