Fort Lauderdale lofts: Fort Lauderdale lofts can be purchased for
on average around $200,000. A true loft for Fort Lauderdale (or "hard"
loft) is: a conversion of a vintage factory or warehouse, having a
harder edge of either concrete construction, or "mill" construction
of exposed brick and original wood posts, beams and floors. Ceilings
should be over ten feet high at least. This is increasingly very important
for loft purchasers, as developers are now building condos with slightly
higher ceilings than in the past. It is the height that helps give
a loft the feeling of air and space. Larger windows and open concept
layouts also help. Ceilings are unfinished and pipes and heating ducts
are exposed. Do not expect to find a 1,000 square foot loft divided
up into two bedrooms and a den. It will much more likely have a kitchen
and a bathroom with the rest of the space left as one large open room,
which you can work with and use according to your own functions and
needs. Some people think a loft means you have a second mezzanine
level overlooking the floor below, but this is simply one style of
loft. The other great thing about lofts is that most of them are zoned
live/work, which makes it easier to operate a business out of your
home. Check whether there are Florida or federal tax advantages or
write-offs available. Another type of lofts in Fort Lauderdale are
newly constructed lofts (or "soft lofts"), which are for
the most part "Condos With High Ceilings", and are examples
of Fort Lauderdale condo developers trying to cash in on the popularity
of lofts. Most Fort Lauderdale lofts built from scratch have very
little character, and in most cases, the ceilings aren't even all
that high. The quality of construction is sometimes disappointing,
and quite often the location is really the only selling point, since
vintage lofts are usually a little off the beaten track, not in the
best neighbourhoods of Fort Lauderdale.
