The Loft 2, Residential skyscraper in Downtown Miami, United States
The Loft 2 is a 36-floor residential skyscraper completed in 2007 at NE 2nd Street and NE 2nd Avenue in Downtown Miami, part of the Loft Miami complex with the shorter The Loft. Its 496 lofts and condominiums sit above ground-floor retail, and the First Street Metromover Station passes through the building.
The Loft 2 was completed in 2007 as part of the Loft Miami complex, which also included the shorter The Loft; a planned third tower, The Loft 3, was cancelled. Construction was complicated because the First Street Metromover Station runs through the building and train service could not be interrupted. Its 496 units sold out in two and a half days.
