North Williamsburg rentals with real loft character
Most Williamsburg apartments for rent are new construction. The Lewis Steel Building is the real thing: massive factory-sized casement windows, exposed brick, and original cast-iron details (steel beams, piping, and radiators) left uncovered on purpose. Most ceilings soar 12 feet or more, and some layouts reach 18 feet. No two lofts are the same.
What every loft includes
Ceilings of 12 feet or more in most lofts (12-18 ft depending on layout)
Exposed brick and original steel and cast-iron details
- Factory-sized casement windows and hardwood floors
Stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, and subway tile backsplash
Bosch washer/dryer in every apartment
Select lofts add private terraces, balconies, or a private roof deck, gas fireplaces, pyramidal skylights, and duplex layouts.

Converted industrial loft vs new construction
Glass towers on the waterfront sell views and newness. A converted industrial loft sells scale and character you cannot build today: brick, steel, factory windows, and ceiling height. The renovations at the Lewis Steel Building are thoroughly modern, and the building is LEED Silver certified, designed to use less water and energy. If you are comparing buildings, see our North Williamsburg Buildings guide.
