The structure, with its brick facade and large windows, fits seamlessly into the area's architectural landscape while providing a fresh take on city living. Situated just a mile from downtown Portland, Old Town Lofts places residents at the center of a vibrant, culturally rich community, where the city's past and present converge.

A tapestry of history, culture, and urban energy
