Liberty Lofts

In designing Liberty Lofts, the architects’ goal was to capture the “Honest, industrial motif of the existing building,” according to Robb Burroughs, vice president of Ann Arbor’s Hobbs and Black Associates, architects for the project.

The development, at 315 Second Street, combines a 70,000-square-foot, five-story early 20th-century concrete industrial building with a 40,000-square-foot addition, resulting in 68 lofts which range in size from 844 to 2,337 square feet.

From the 1920s to the 1980s, the building housed the operations of the King-Seeley Company, which made automotive instruments, and the King-Seeley Thermos Corporation.
