Historic charm meets urban living in South End
310 Arlington Avenue, known as The Lofts at Factory South, stands as a testament to Charlotte's industrial past reimagined for modern living. This four-story condominium, completed in 1920, houses 85 units within its historic walls. Originally serving as the Lance Cracker factory, the building underwent a transformation in the late 1990s, becoming one of the first adaptive reuse developments in South End. Today, it offers residents a unique blend of historical character and contemporary comfort, with exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows that flood the spaces with natural light.
