The Union Street Lofts are made up of 5 separate turn-of-the-century buildings that were built in downtown New Bedford. The buildings include the Phinney Building, New Bedford Dry Goods, the AE Coffin Building, the Haste Building and the Eddy Building. The buildings are located on Union, Pleasant, and Purchase Streets in New Bedford's historic district.
These buildings have been fully renovated into 35 Studio, 1 and 2 bedroom lofts for rent, as well as 16,000 square feet of retail space. The brick and stone exteriors have been restored. New electrical, cable, broad-band internet, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems have been installed. Loft finishes include a mix of hardwood floors, new wall-to-wall carpeting, and new energy-efficient oversized windows. Kitchens are fully applianced and several lofts have harbor views. Each loft is unique and designed to provide the maximum amount of natural light with high ceilings and open floor plans for comfort and creativity.
