ZELMAN LOFTS
Zelman's

620 E. Douglas Ave

Phone: 316-425-7222

 

The Zelman Lofts were part of the renovation of Sam Zelman's clothing store at the corner of St. Francis Street and Douglas. The developers used using Historic Tax Credits to return this building to its original glory. The first floor is slated for a restaurant-bar and commercial rental space. The second floor will have total of 9 residential units (6 studios & 3 one-bedrooms) which all were leased before the construction was finished in January 2012. The units range from 375-610 square feet and are priced between $800 and $1300 a month. Amenities include but are not limited to: Eco-friendly apartments, secure building, ample street parking, option of a reserved parking space, on-site laundry facility, and convenient indoor bike storage.

Originally the first floor was a western wear clothing store and the second floor was a boarding house. The remodeling of the building revolved around the historic features that defined its character. The Zelman Lofts are steps away from Intrust Bank Arena, Old Town, great bars, restaurants and shopping.
