Buyers interested in the “soft loft” units at Kinetic Lofts (part of the larger Rainbo Village project at 4814 N. Clark St) should plan to visit the new models unveiled recently at the sales center.
What’s a soft loft, you ask? Typically, they’re new-construction deliveries outfitted with all the standard loft trappings: overhead ductwork, exposed brick, large windows and high ceilings. Metropolitan Development Enterprises, Rainbo Village’s developer, contends that soft lofts offer the most attractive features of loft living.
Filled with fancy items from Urbanest, a local furniture company, the model units were designed by Heather Fuchs, the developer’s interior designer. Through Metropolitan, Urbanest is offering a 15 percent discount to buyers at Rainbo Village.
The two five-story Kinetic Lofts buildings house 44 units each; the north building is 45 percent sold, and the south building is 85 percent sold (with deliveries underway), according to a recent media release.
Buyers have 10 floor plans to choose from, starting in the $250s and topping out in the $460s.
The third phase of Rainbo Village (nine townhomes, eight duplexes and 16 condos) is moving forward alongside other retail and residential projects. The site, a former skating rink on the border between Andersonville and Uptown, is absolutely drenched in neighborhood history. Back in October, Yo wondered about the appeal of this neck of the woods. Andersonville South – has its time come at last?
