Loft Over Main: The 3rd Floor Urban Lookout 2BR
Perched on the 3rd floor of a historic downtown landmark, this stunning urban loft combines industrial charm with the unbeatable energy of Main Street. Whether you’re here for a UNI homecoming, a wedding, or a weekend of craft beer and local culture, you’re staying exactly where the action is—directly above the iconic Single Speed Brewing.
With soaring ceilings, panoramic views, and luxury "Dual King" accommodations, this is the premier urban retreat for couples and professionals alike.
Step inside a true urban retreat where the layout is expansive and airy, centered around an open-concept living area bathed in natural light. The industrial soul of the building is preserved through high-volume ceilings and raw brickwork, providing a sophisticated backdrop for your stay. The heart of the home features a fully equipped culinary kitchen and a spacious living area perfect for relaxing or catching up on work in a bright, atmospheric setting.
The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully split to provide maximum privacy. At the front of the loft, the Main Street King Suite offers a bird’s-eye view of the historic architecture and downtown energy through oversized windows. Tucked at the rear, the River-View King Suite serves as a sanctuary with serene views stretching toward the Cedar River and the Main Street Amphitheater. Both bedrooms feature premium king-sized beds, ensuring a luxury sleep experience for every guest.
The experience is rounded out by a bathroom featuring a massive, custom-tiled walk-in shower. For added convenience, the unit includes an in-unit washer and dryer, making it ideal for longer stays. From your front door, you are just steps away from the city's best coffee roasters, independent boutiques, and craft dining, putting the very best of the downtown district right at your feet.
Other things to note: Being on the 3rd floor provides a peaceful elevation above the street, allowing you to enjoy a private skyline view while remaining in the heart of the action. You will experience the vibrant "hum" of the city—a hallmark of true downtown living. Please note that as a historic building, access requires a 3rd-floor walk-up, offering a brief daily workout before you reach your private urban vantage point.
