City View Lofts History

City View is an exciting conversion of the turn-of the-century, American Ladies Corset factory into upscale loft condominiums. Built by renowned architect Albert Kahn, City View Lofts feature Kahn’s signature reinforced concrete, and open, bright and efficient floor space.

Albert Kahn is one of the most prolific architects in American history. In 1904 he applied a new building concept-reinforced concrete-to his design for the new Packard Motor Car building. He utilized this technique on General Motors headquarters, the Ford River Rouge Complex and several buildings at the University of Michigan. In 1909 Kahn designed Jackson’s American Lady Corset factory most recently known as the Camp building. Historic Kahn factories and warehouses are being turned into loft apartments throughout Michigan and Pennsylvania. Don’t miss the excitement!
