242 South 1st Street "Lofts1" is a 4 story, 23 unit condominium building that was designed by DUMBO-based
Scarano Architect PLLC with interior design by
Andres Escobar. The building was built in 1911 and was originally a factory that produced cheese. It was converted from commercial to residential in 2005 and much of the original detail from the factory have been preserved. The building features mini-lofts, duplex lofts, and tri-level lofts. Most of the units in the building also come with a private outdoor space that's deeded with the apartment. Note that this building does not have an elevator or doorman.
The location of this building is one block from Grand Street, which is a main street that has been experiencing an astronomical increase of trendy retail stores, restaurants, and bars. The L train is a short walk North and the JMZ train is an even shorter walk South. Additionally, this location is a short drive from the BQE highway.
