The Post Lofts | Lincoln, Nebraska

Three early 1900s buildings on Lincoln's 14th and P Streets have undergone a remarkable transformation. Reborn as Post Lofts, this 15,500 square foot project offers a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary functionality.

The rehabilitation project meticulously restored the buildings' facades, preserving their architectural character. Inside, a new roof structure, updated utilities, and modern flooring ensure a comfortable living environment.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect is the historically-accurate window replacements. These windows allow residents to gaze out at the dynamic downtown scene while feeling a connection to Lincoln's rich past.
