The True Loft - True lofts are what one would usually imagine when thinking about lofts. These spaces are usually located in old buildings that began their lives as warehouses, factories, refineries and other industrial uses. True lofts feature lots of exposed brickwork with concrete floors and huge windows. Typically there are no room dividers as the entire loft is simply one big open space. Sometimes there is an upper level or mezzanine that overlooks the lower floor. Other aspects that are usually found in lofts include exposed pipes & ductwork.

New True Lofts - The New True Loft is the result of the huge and overpowering demand for true loft homes. The simple fact is the demand for lofts was far greater than the availability of old warehouse and industrial buildings so developers simply started to build complexes that stayed true to the features of the original loft.

Soft Loft - The soft loft is a relatively new concept that features some of the distinctive assets of lofts in combination with more modern apartment style building practices. Soft lofts typically have defined rooms, hardwood flooring and less brick. in many soft lofts brick is utilized as a decorative feature and not the basic building material.
