Mallin Mel Real Estate

I have been living here for 7+ years, and I love it!
These are the oldest loft conversions in the River Market and among the oldest downtown. The buildings themselves range from 110 to 130 years old and were converted to lofts starting in 1985.
The floorplans are spacious and wide open, with HUGE windows. (Mine are 5′ wide x 9′ tall.) As long as you don’t damage or alter the original historic elements of the structure (timbers, bricks, original hardwood floors), you can alter your loft in any way you want. I’ve added interior walls to mine and painted it in vivid colors.
These are rentals, and I appreciate the fact that these places have not followed the condo trend. The rents may seem high at first, but that’s because the square footage is so high. They are actually quite cheap. My rent for instance comes out to 85 cents a square foot, well below the downtown average.
The property owners are very friendly and responsive. It’s been extremely rare that I have had any sort of problem, but whenever I do have a problem, they have resolved it very quickly. They will go out of their way to help you out when you need it, too.
Though these are rentals, people tend to live here for a very long time. Check the web site (
) often for availability, because the rare times something opens up, it usually gets leased within a matter of days!
