Hard Lofts Development

[Glenn Espinosa]

I'm breaking into the multifamily scene and will be converting a 4 unit multiplex into upscale "loft" style apartments marketed towards young professionals and grad students. This is just to get my feet wet.. I eventually want to break into the Hard Loft development scene.

I've done the normal google searches as well as scoured Biggerpockets with little to no success.

Does anyone have any experience in this niche? I'd definitely like to learn as much as I can so that I'll be ready for when opportunity strikes.

Please share your experience Glenn. I've always wondering if the loft thing would be a nice niche to get into. I live in out the suburbs and wondering if there would a place for new construction with the loft style out here.

Wondered what the costs were compared to regular construction on a per square foot basis.
