"285 Columbus Lofts will be completed in spring 2008, the eight-story complex will offer 63 loft-style one- and two-bedroom condos. Buyers will have access to garage parking, a common roof deck and extra storage space. The exterior of the building will also be fully restored, and a 10,000-sq.-ft. restaurant will occupy the ground floor. The community is located near public transportation, shopping, and entertainment."

"...285 Columbus Lofts involves the conversion of The Earle Building (later the Red Cross building), which was built in 1924 in the classical revival architectural style. The building occupies a prominent corner at Columbus Avenue and Clarendon Street. The steel reinforced concrete structure has high ceilings and natural light from huge windows on three sides of the building."

285 Columbus Lofts is a great project. It's more loftlike than actual lofts...The finishes are really nice. Beautiful walnut floors. It really says something to me that the guest baths have top finishes. Most new construction 2nd baths are very institutional looking. The upper cabinets in the kitchen pictured here, by the way, have been replaced with dark wood cabinets.  Very warm, but also very contemporary looking. The location and views are really wonderful.
