The Lofts

The Lofts is a mixed-use building that includes street level retail with business offices on the second floor, and apartments on the third floor. All of the apartments are zoned as commercial and residential space. The apartments are lofts, each with one and a half bathrooms, an upstairs bedroom area, a kitchen area, and a small balcony. They have wood floors, washer/dryer, and all appliances. The rent is $1595/mo. The Lofts building is located in downtown Davis, next to John Natsoulas Art Gallery. Beach Hut Deli and Sugar Daddies are current retail establishments. It is one of the newer apartment complexes in Davis and was designed by Berteaux Architectural Collaborative headed by Richard Berteaux and built (and still managed) by Pyramid Construction. The building features a cellular phone site.

This used to be the site of a KFC.

There is a bar downstairs called Sophia's Kitchen which has live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights (sometimes Wednesday nights). The music is loud enough that it makes the walls shake! These lofts are quite expensive to rent for the area, hence I assume the development is geared toward working professionals and not students. We'll be leaving as soon as possible, as it is virtually impossible to get any sleep on the nights with live music. I would not recommend this place to anyone on a 9-5 schedule. —ZeeZee

He changed types of bands he books and they finish their shows much earlier. Everyone living on the third floor reports that the problem is fixed. Thanks Kevin and Sophia's. Living downtown isn't for everyone, but those who make it home love the vibrancy it offers. Chuck and Caren - The Lofts Management. —chuckroe

I'd be interested in learning more . . .I'll try calling when I find my cell phone. Thanks for the post! —AshleyHamidi
