Livable Lofts But the end result at Alexan Lofts was worth the extra efforts. “People just love the architecture of these old buildings,” Wise says. That they do. As of February 2005, Alexan Lofts was 94 percent leased, with rents ranging from $850 to $2,600 per month before concessions. Construction of the lobby resulted in a two-story atrium, featuring mailboxes and an elevator that accesses the underground garage. Amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness center, a billiards room, and a clubhouse.
