DALLAS MORNING NEWS
The building is home to 203 loft condos priced from $108,900 to $365,900.
In another sign of its continuing commitment to revitalizing the core of downtown Dallas, Westmount Realty Capital has converted the Santa Fe Terminal building into the SoCo Urban Loft Condominiums. The building, built in 1924, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, houses 203 loft condos priced from $108,900 to $365,900.
Loft sizes range from 778 square feet of living space for a “True Loft” to 2,030 square feet of living space for a two-story penthouse with a private terrace. SoCo has nine penthouse plans available for purchase.
Interior design elements include industrial-style finishes and fixtures, large original steel window frames, custom imported Intalian kitchen upgrade packages with stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops, and panoramic views. In-building parking and self-storage units, a rooftop pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center and an on-site media room make SoCo a fun and functional place to live.
SoCo is two blocks due south of the burgeoning Main Street District, where some $95 million has been spent on revitalization since 2000 with another $55 million in investments expected by 2006, according to the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau. This means owners of the SoCo Urban Loft Condominiums will be within a short distance of dozens of restaurants and boutique retail outlets.
To do its part in accelerating the redevelopment of the neighborhood surrounding the SoCo Urban Loft Condominium building, Westmount Realty has devised a name for the area – South of Commerce Street, or SoCo in its shortened form. The SoCo locale extends west to Interstate 35E, east to U.S. Highway 75 and Interstate 45, and to Commerce Street on the north, while its southern boundary is undefined.
“SoCo can be the gateway neighborhood that leads downtown redevelopment precisely in the direction it is most needed – south,” says Cliff Booth, president of Westmount Realty.
Dallas-based Westmount Realty, a fully integrated real estate company, regards the conversion of the loft apartments in the Santa Fe Terminal to condominiums as a logical next step to bringing the downtown area fully back to life, according to Mr. Booth.
“Property owners have the highest commitment to their dwellings and to the nearby surroundings,” Mr. Booth says.
“By changing the residents of the Santa Fe Terminal from renters to owners, we increase their stake in the neighborhood. Over the long run that attitude shift can only support the revitalization of the entire downtown area. The SoCo Urban Loft Condominiums will provide a cutting-edge urban lifestyle at an affordable price-point.”
