Overview of Sophia Lofts at 234 North 9th Street

Sophia Lofts, located at 234 North 9th Street in Williamsburg, is a historic building originally constructed in 1915 as a bakery by Sophia Zablowski. The structure was converted into 11 residential condominiums in 2007 by Horrigan Development, with architectural design by Standard Architects. The building features a striking red-brick façade, large multi-paned windows, and a gated half-story base, maintaining its industrial charm while offering modern living amenities.

Residents enjoy a range of features including soaring ceilings up to 14 feet, exposed brick walls, and original timber beams. Many apartments boast oversized windows that flood the spaces with natural light, while select units offer private roof decks with city skyline views. The building is pet-friendly and includes a communal roof deck for all residents.

Located just blocks from the vibrant Bedford Avenue, residents have easy access to a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops.
