North Loop Loft Living with Historic Character + Modern Design

There’s something special about a true industrial loft — the kind of space that feels layered with history, character, and intentional design. This oversized one-bedroom residence at Soho Lofts fully embraces that aesthetic with soaring 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick, original ductwork, and concrete floors that give 718 Washington Ave N #505 an unmistakable North Loop feel.

Industrial Loft Living Done Right

Located within the former Johnson Nut Company building — famously known as the birthplace of the Milky Way bar — the home carries real Minneapolis history within its walls while offering a beautifully updated, modern living experience.

A Space Designed for Entertaining

The open-concept layout was designed with both functionality and entertaining in mind. The kitchen features Samsung stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a built-in wine fridge, oversized pantry, and bold pendant lighting over the island that anchors the space beautifully.

Custom touches throughout the home help soften the industrial aesthetic and add warmth and personality. A custom live-edge dining table and floating shelves create an elevated yet comfortable atmosphere that feels curated rather than cookie-cutter.

The floor plan also includes a dedicated office nook, making the home especially functional for remote work without sacrificing living space.

A Primary Suite That Feels Elevated

The spacious primary suite offers a calming retreat within the city, complete with a custom built-in closet system and a spa-style bathroom featuring an oversized walk-in shower, double vanity, and exceptional counter and storage space.

Additional conveniences include full-size in-unit laundry, one heated underground parking space with guest parking available, and two private storage units totaling nearly 600 square feet — a rare and highly valuable feature within North Loop condo living.

The northeast-facing unit sits within a boutique building containing only 24 residential units, offering a quieter and more connected living experience compared to larger downtown developments.

Living in the Heart of the North Loop

Part of what makes this property so special is the lifestyle that comes with it. Step outside your front door and you’re immediately connected to some of the best restaurants, coffee shops, fitness studios, boutiques, and entertainment the Twin Cities has to offer.

Morning coffee at Spyhouse or FRGMNT. Dinner at Bar La Grassa, Parlour, Freehouse, or Smack Shack. Walks or bike rides along the Mississippi River. Twins games at Target Field. Breweries, comedy clubs, and the unmistakable energy of the North Loop are all within walking distance.

And when it’s time to leave the city, quick highway access makes commuting simple and convenient.
