Experience distinctive loft-style living where historic character meets contemporary comfort at The Cascade District Lofts.

The original brick walls were left visible instead of being covered with drywall. This exposed masonry highlights the building’s manufacturing-era construction methods and gives the lofts their authentic industrial texture and character. Historic loft conversions often preserve brick specifically because it reflects the building’s structural history.

The large steel-framed factory windows originally existed to maximize daylight for industrial workers before modern lighting systems became common. Today they provide expansive natural light and panoramic city views while preserving the building’s factory appearance.

Heavy timber beams and wood ceiling structures were engineered to support machinery and industrial floor loads. Rather than conceal them, the redevelopment exposed these structural elements as architectural features. The aged wood, beam spacing, and visible structure are hallmark traits of “brick-and-timber” loft buildings.

Located within the vibrant Cascade District, residents enjoy close proximity to downtown restaurants, entertainment venues, breweries, parks, and Rochester’s expanding riverfront development. The Cascade District Lofts combines the authenticity of Rochester’s industrial past with the convenience and lifestyle of modern city living.

Conveniently located near major roadways, including Interstate 490, residents enjoy easy access to downtown Rochester, surrounding neighborhoods, local employers, and regional destinations.
