Telephone Factory Lofts, Industrial heritage site in Poncey-Highland, Atlanta, US
Telephone Factory Lofts is a four-story residential building with large windows and open floor plans, marked by an impressive 75-foot Art Deco tower at its entrance. The lofts offer units with varying sizes and configurations for different residents.
Western Electric Company built the factory in 1938 as a production facility for Bell System telephones and switchboard equipment. After decades of industrial use, the building was converted to residential lofts in 1996 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building attracted a diverse community after its transformation and served for years as a hub for artists and writers benefiting from affordable housing options. This legacy continues to shape the identity of the place today.
The site sits on Ralph McGill Boulevard and offers direct access to the BeltLine trail, a popular recreational path in the area. The complex includes bike racks and a rooftop deck available to residents and visitors.
The original architecture was deliberately preserved during the conversion and combined with modern features, creating an interesting contrast between old industry and contemporary living. Individual units range from 750 to 10,000 square feet, showing the variety of available living options.
