The Lofts at Bella Vista 

The Lofts at Bella Vista was an adaptive re-use project, completed in 2013. Built in 1911 and originally used as a five-story warehouse and publishing facility for Curtis Publishing Company, the building is located in the heart of historic South Philadelphia.

These units range from 1,000 square foot one bedrooms to 2,500 square foot penthouses. PZS Architects inserted interstitial mezzanines on each floor, giving each unit two floors of living space. In addition, there are eight new ultra-modern villas, each with three levels of terraces and green roofs overlooking the city that were constructed on the existing roof. This 198,000 square foot, $25-million project also features a ground level lobby and greeting spaces, fitness center, and a conference room, and features 78 parking spaces and loading facilities located in heated garages.
