Atlas Building Lofts, located in the heart of downtown Charleston, West Virginia, is a transformative redevelopment project that breathes new life into a historic landmark. Originally constructed in 1941 and designed by the renowned Charleston architectural firm Tucker and Silling, the Atlas Building was once a symbol of modern design and ambition for the city. With its eight stories of innovative architecture focused on sustainability, it was celebrated as one of the most modern office buildings in the Middle West and South, providing 45,000 square feet of much-needed commercial space at the time.
Today, the Atlas Building has been reimagined as a vibrant mixed-use community featuring 52 premier apartments, each with spacious and open-concept layouts, perfect for a variety of residents including young professionals, empty nesters, and families. The apartments boast modern features such as luxurious vinyl plank floors, designer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and walk-in closets, ensuring a refined living experience. Every unit comes equipped with a bathroom for each bedroom, elevating convenience and comfort.
The property is strategically located just a short walk from Capitol Street, the Clay Center for Arts & Sciences, and other downtown attractions, fostering a live-work-play lifestyle. In conjunction with residential offerings, the ground floor provides commercial spaces aimed at enhancing the neighborhood's vibrant atmosphere. The development has received accolades, including the Best Redevelopment Award in 2021 and the Best Use of Historic Tax Credits Award in 2022 from the Charleston Area Alliance and the Preservation Alliance of WV, respectively.
Atlas Building Lofts not only preserves the historical essence of the structure but also reaffirms its status as a significant part of Charleston’s architectural heritage, representing the city’s resilience and commitment to modern urban living.
